Instructions
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the cup of warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes or until it begins to foam.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the foaming yeast, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with your hands until a nice dough ball forms. You can add a touch more flour if the dough is too sticky or a bit more water if it seems too dry.
4
On a well floured surface, knead the dough for 5 minutes.
5
Very lightly oil a large bowl and place the ball of dough into the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for an hour to rise.
6
When the dough is nearly done rising, make the cinnamon filling by mixing together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Set aside.
7
In the bowl, deflate the dough by punching it down a bit. Take it out of the bowl and place it on a well floured surface. Press the dough out into a rectangle that's about 9x12 inches. I use my hands for this but you can also use a rolling pin.
8
Spread your cinnamon mixture evenly across the dough leaving about 1/2 an inch border on the 2 shorter edges. Sprinkle on the lavender.
9
Starting on one of the short ends, roll the dough up until you get to the other end. Crimp the dough together to seal it.
10
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 9-12 pieces depending on your preference and dish size. I ended up with 10.
11
In a large, greased baking dish, place the cinnamon rolls equally spaced. Let sit for an additional 45 minutes to rise once more.
12
Near the end of the second rise, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
13
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until your rolls are a nice golden brown color. Once out of the oven, let rest for 5-10 minutes before putting on the icing.
14
Make the icing while the rolls cool. Whisk together the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the liquid. Continue adding more liquid, a little at a time, until the icing is at your desired consistency.
15
Pour the icing over top of the rolls and enjoy!
