Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
1 cup whole milk (warm)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup funfetti sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar (for icing)
2 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

Warm the milk until just above lukewarm and combine with yeast; let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and granulated sugar. Make a well in the center, add frothy milk mixture and melted butter; mix until combined.
Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth for about 1 hour or until doubled.
Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and funfetti sprinkles in a bowl.
Roll out dough into a rectangle (¼ inch thick), spread filling evenly, roll tightly from one edge, and slice into equal pieces.
Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle icing made from powdered sugar and vanilla over warm rolls.
