Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Once the yeast is frothy, add the vegetable oil and salt to the mixture. Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread a thin layer of vegetable oil over the rolled dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract with a splash of water to create a smooth icing.
- Once baked, drizzle the icing over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra soft texture, let the rolls cool in the pan covered with a towel after baking.
