CARAMEL CINNAMON ROLLS



Caramel Cinnamon Rolls image

Rita Hofer's caramel cinnamon rolls, which took second place in 2013 at the Montana Winter Fair, have been a local legend since she started taking them to her son's basketball games. Now she sells them at the school concession stand, and fans wipe out her stock every time.

Provided by Food Network

Time 3h30m

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
7 cups all-purpose flour,
plus more for dusting
Vegetable oil, for brushing
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan until steaming. Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Combine the milk, shortening, granulated sugar, salt and eggs in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the yeast mixture and mix until combined. Stir in the flour to form a soft dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the caramel: Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the heavy cream; whisk until combined and slightly cooled. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet; spread the caramel on the baking sheet and let cool completely.
  • Make the filling: Mix the brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon in a bowl. Punch down the dough and roll out into a 12-by-24-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the filling on the dough and roll up, starting at a long side. Cut into 1-inch pieces and arrange cut-side up on the caramel. Cover loosely and let sit at room temperature until puffed, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover the rolls and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. (Put a baking sheet on the lower oven rack to catch any drips.) Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then invert onto a large cutting board or platter.

CARAMEL CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Caramel Cinnamon Rolls Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-33953

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 loaves frozen bread dough
1 1/2 cups butter, softened, divided
4 tablespoons cinnamon
2 cups brown sugar, divided
1 to 1 1/2 cups ice cream
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Thaw bread dough according to package directions. With a rolling pin, roll each loaf of thawed dough out about 1/4 inch thick in an oval shape on a floured surface. Spread 1/2 cup softened butter on the 2 loaves (1/4 cup on each). Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the butter. Lightly sprinkle 1 cup sugar over the cinnamon. Roll dough into a long tube. Cut into 3/4 inch thick slices, about 12 per loaf. Transfer rolls to 2 greased 9 by 13 inch pans. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a saucepan, melt remaining butter and ice cream. Add remaining brown sugar and white sugar. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Pour mixture evenly over the 2 pans of cinnamon rolls. Allow the rolls to rise at room temperature until they are almost double in size. I set mine on top of my stove while my oven preheats which helps them rise. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. When finished baking, allow rolls to cool a few minutes then flip them out on a cookie sheet and allow to cool completely (or until they won't burn your mouth). ENJOY!!! If you want to prepare these the evening before you can, but don't let them rise at room temperature. Instead, cover them with plastic food wrap sprayed with cooking spray and place in the refrigerator overnight. They will slowly rise overnight and will be ready to pop in the oven in the morning.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best results, use high-quality ingredients, including fresh milk, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic, to develop the gluten and create a strong structure.
  • Proof the dough in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours, to allow the yeast to ferment and produce gases that will create air pockets in the rolls.
  • To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a deep amber color.
  • Be careful not to overproof the dough, as this can cause the rolls to become too dense and heavy.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature (425°F) for a short time (10-12 minutes) to create a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

These caramel cinnamon rolls are a delicious and indulgent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their gooey caramel sauce, soft and fluffy dough, and sweet cinnamon filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you are making them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these rolls are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and leave you wanting more.
