Overnight Rolls
serves 4 to 6
1 cup milk | Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. |
1/3 cup butter | Add to the hot milk and stir until melted; let cool until lukewarm. |
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast | In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the milk mixture. |
1/2 cup white sugar | Add to the milk/yeast mixture; stir well to combine. |
3cups all-purpose flour | |
1 teaspoon salt | |
1 ½ cup flour | Add, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. |
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, or use the breadhook on the stand mixer. Knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. | |
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. | |
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 10x 14 inch rectangle. Lightly brush the far edge with water. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and 3/4 cup brown sugar and sprinkle over the rectangles. Then sprinkle the raisins and chopped nuts over the dough. Roll up the dough into a log and seal the seam. | |
Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces; place the pieces in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, or 12 inch deep dish pizza pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rise overnight. | |
The next morning, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Take the rolls out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. | |
Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, combine the corn syrup with the vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar and enough cream to make a thick glaze; set aside. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve warm. |
