Cast Iron Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• Cinnamon Rolls
• 1 cup warm water (105 - 110 degrees)
• 1 packet yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp)
• 4 Tblspoons sugar, divided
• 2 cups bread flour
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tblspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup browned butter, melted (see below)
• 2 Tblspoons sugar

Glaze

• 1 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1-2 Tblspoons corn syrup or maple syrup

Directions

1. Combine water, yeast, and 2 Tblsp sugar in small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Combine bread flour, 1 cup all purpose flour, 2 Tblsp sugar, and salt in bowl. Whisk together.
2. In mixer bowl with paddle attached, combine yeast mixture, oil, egg, and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition. Add remaining 1 cup flour, mixing to make soft dough.
3. Turn dough onto lightly floured countertop. Knead until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Place in lightly greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover, let stand in warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
4. Punch down dough, let stand covered 15 minutes.
5. Lightly grease 10-inch cast iron skillet. (I used coconut oil.) Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in bowl. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 10"x18" rectangle. Brush with melted browned butter. Sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mixture over top, leaving about a 1 " border on long side of dough. Tightly roll starting on long side and press edge to seal. Cut into 1 1/2" slices. (Dental floss works well.) Place in skillet. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 350. Bake 25-30 minutes. Run knife around edge of pan to prevent sticking. Pour glaze over top.

Glaze

1. Whisk together in a bowl and pour over the rolls when done baking.
