- 1 packet high rise yeat (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup milk
- 1½ tbsp Kate’s Unsalted Butter, softened

Glaze
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1½ tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Set aside 1 cup of all-purpose flour from the total amount.
- Mix the remaining flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
- Heat water, milk, and unsalted butter until hot (125-130 degrees F).
- Stir the hot liquids into the dry mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to form a soft dough that doesn't stick to the bowl.
- Turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic (~8-10 minutes).
- Cover the dough with a damp tea towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface, using a rolling pin to create a roughly 13 x 19-inch rectangle.
- Spread softened salted butter on the dough and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter.
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a jelly roll.
- Cut into 12-14 slices, ensuring even size, and place them cut-side down in a well-buttered 9x13-inch baking pan, allowing the rolls to touch.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise until doubled in bulk (~40-50 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (~25-30 minutes).
- Cool the rolls for 10-15 minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine all five glaze ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or electric hand mixer, beat until smooth.
- Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cinnamon rolls. Serve and enjoy!
