BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

Steps:
- For the dough: in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, butter, and buttermilk. Add approximately 2 cups of the flour along with the yeast and salt; whisk until moistened and combined. Remove the whisk attachment and replace with a dough hook. Add all but 3/4 cup of the remaining flour and knead on low speed for 5 minutes. Check the consistency of the dough, add more flour if necessary; the dough should feel soft and moist but not sticky. Knead on low speed 5 minutes more or until the dough clears the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead by hand about 30 seconds. Lightly oil a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, lightly oil the top of the dough, cover and let double in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Mix until well incorporated. Set aside until ready to use.
- Butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently shape the dough into a rectangle with the long side nearest you. Roll into an 18 by 12-inch rectangle. Brush the dough with the 3/4-ounce of melted butter, leaving 1/2-inch border along the top edge. Sprinkle the filling mixture over the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border along the top edge; gently press the filling into the dough. Beginning with the long edge nearest you, roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Firmly pinch the seam to seal and roll the cylinder seam side down. Very gently squeeze the cylinder to create even thickness. Using a serrated knife, slice the cylinder into 1 1/2-inch rolls; yielding 12 rolls. Arrange rolls cut side down in the baking dish; cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight or up to 16 hours.
- Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and place in an oven that is turned off. Fill a shallow pan 2/3-full of boiling water and set on the rack below the rolls. Close the oven door and let the rolls rise until they look slightly puffy; approximately 30 minutes. Remove the rolls and the shallow pan of water from the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- When the oven is ready, place the rolls on the middle rack and bake until golden brown, or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, approximately 30 minutes.
- While the rolls are cooling slightly, make the icing by whisking the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer until creamy. Add the milk and whisk until combined. Sift in the powdered sugar, and whisk until smooth. Spread over the rolls and serve immediately.

FROM SCRATCH CINNAMON YEAST ROLLS
These rolls are from a Fleischmann's Yeast brochure printed in the 1960's.

Recipe is from scratch and takes a long time to make, but I think they are worth the effort.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 20 times. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a large rectangle. Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture over the dough, roll up into a log and pinch the seam to seal.

SQUASH CINNAMON ROLLS
This recipe was created to encourage my picky kids to eat the squash that we had in abundance. These turned out so good they like them better than the 'normal' cinnamon rolls. You can use any type of squash including butternut, acorn, hubbard, or even pumpkin. This recipe is a modified version of Winter Squash Rolls and Clone of a Cinnabon®.

Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all your ingredients. This will help streamline the process and ensure you have everything you need.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Active dry yeast is commonly used in cinnamon roll recipes. Make sure to activate it properly by mixing it with warm water and sugar. This will help the yeast grow and give your cinnamon rolls a light and fluffy texture.
- Knead the Dough Well: Kneading the dough is an essential step in developing its gluten structure. This will result in a more elastic and chewy dough, perfect for cinnamon rolls.
- Let the Dough Rise Properly: After kneading, allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This will give the yeast time to work its magic and produce a light and airy dough.
- Roll the Dough Evenly: When rolling out the dough, aim for an even thickness throughout. This will ensure that the cinnamon rolls bake evenly.
- Don't Skimp on the Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar onto the dough before rolling it up. This will give your cinnamon rolls that classic sweet and spicy flavor.
- Cut the Rolls Evenly: Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even-sized rolls. This will help them bake evenly and look uniform.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the cinnamon rolls at the specified temperature in the recipe. This will ensure they cook through without over-browning.
- Let Them Cool Before Frosting: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before frosting them. This will prevent the frosting from melting and becoming too runny.
Conclusion:
With careful preparation, attention to detail, and a little patience, you can create delectable cinnamon rolls that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different frostings, fillings, and toppings to customize your cinnamon rolls and make them truly unique. Whether you prefer a classic cream cheese frosting, a decadent maple glaze, or a crunchy pecan topping, the possibilities are endless. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and embark on a delightful baking journey that will fill your home with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls.
