Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by mashing ripe bananas in a large bowl. Add in the melted butter, sugar, and milk. Mix until well combined, then sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, then spread softened butter evenly over it and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Roll and Cut: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into equal pieces, about 1-2 inches thick, and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before adding your favorite frosting or glaze.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for better sweetness.
- Don’t rush the rising to achieve fluffy texture.
- Ensure butter, milk, and egg are at room temperature.
- Experiment with spices like nutmeg or vanilla extract.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly before frosting.
