Making Chai Cinnamon Rolls
- In a medium bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add egg, melted butter (reserve some), ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Brush with reserved butter, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon, then roll tightly and slice into 12 rolls.
- Place sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over warm rolls.
