Best Cinnamon Roll Recipe

• 1 cup warm milk (I microwave it for 2 minutes, pour in the machine, and allow to cool while I gather all the other ingredients)
• 6 Tablespoons butter melted (microwave 30 seconds to melt)
• 2 eggs (make sure your other ingredients are ready to add in so egg doesn’t start to cook in warm milk or butter)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

• 6 Tablespoons soft butter (not melted)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon

This dough comes out perfect. No kneading or re-rolling with this dough; it is literally perfect.

Roll out the dough until it is at least 12″ by 18”. You can roll it out bigger, it just means you will get more layers of filling in each of the cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.

Roll up the dough carefully and tightly.

Now you have a 16” swirled log. Carefully cut 12 slices.

Hint: To make sure they are even start by cutting the log in half, then each half in half. Then each of these 4 sections gets cut into 3 pieces.

I recommend using a bread knife so that the dough will maintain it’s shape. Just be careful that you do it on a cutting board or don’t cut all the way down or it could damage your counter top.

Place each of the 12 slices in a buttered 9×13 pan.

SAVE FOR TOMORROW

At this point you can cover the pan and put it in the refrigerator and bake it tomorrow morning. It will taste exactly the same and will make the morning a breeze!

In the morning, cover the pan and allow the rolls to rest on top of the oven for 30 minutes while the oven preheats. Then bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.

Instructions

 

• Put all dough ingredients in your bread machine and set for dough cycle.HINT: If you don't have a bread machine, knead dough 5 minutes, using only as much flour as you need to not let it stick to your hands. Put in bowl, cover with damp towel and set in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface in a large rectangle (about 12x18"). You can roll it out bigger if you like, it just means there will be more layers in the cinnamon rolls filled with delicious filing!
• Mix together all filing ingredients and sprinkle on dough. Roll up the dough so that the longest side becomes all rolled up.
• Cut cinnamon roll log into 12 equal slices and put in buttered 9x13 pan and allow to sit for 30 minutes while oven preheats to 400 F.HINT: I use a knife to cut bread so the rolls keep their nice circle shape.
• Bake for 15 minutes. While baking whip together frosting. Spread frosting on hot rolls that just came out of the oven. Serve warm.
