Nièr Beurre Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Nièr Beurre (clarified brown butter)

Special equipment needed:
- Stand mixer with dough hook attachment
- Rolling pin
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Pastry brush

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, melted butter, warm milk, egg, yeast, and salt. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.

2. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

4. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make the filling.

5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle that is approximately 12x18 inches.

6. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

7. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long edge closest to you.

8. Cut the rolled dough into 12 even slices.

9. Place the slices into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

10. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

11. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

12. Brush the tops of the rolls with Nièr Beurre.

13. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

14. Let the rolls cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
