DELICIOUS CINNAMON ROLLS (ABM)
Somehow, just the scent of cinnamon rolls bring to mind a warm and cozy house. I had a real estate agent tell me to bake something with cinnamon when showing my house. Cinnamon is comforting, so get comforting! Prep time and servings will vary. These two are guestimated.I almost forgot, I sold my house! Sometimes I add a little maple flavoring or orange juice to my icing, just for something different.

Steps:
- Add the ingredients to bread machine as recommended by manufacturer. Program for the bread cycle. When cycle is done, place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15x10-inches. Spread 1/4 cup melted butter over dough to within 1 inch of edges. Then sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped nuts evenly over dough. Roll dough up tightly on long side. Press edges to seal and form into a 12-inch long, evenly shaped roll. With a knife or 8-inch long piece of dental floss, cut roll into 1-inch pieces.
- Place rolls cut side down into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack for 10 to 15 minutes. While the rolls are cooling, make the icing by combining powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Blend until smooth. If too thin, add more powdered sugar, too thin, add more milk, until desired consistency is reached.
- Cut apart and remove from pan.

Steps:
- Prepare dough: Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just about to boil, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sugar, shortening, and salt; remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm, about 10 minutes.
- While the milk mixture is cooling, sprinkle yeast over water and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Pour lukewarm milk mixture into a bowl; add 1 cup flour and beat well. Beat in yeast mixture and egg. Gradually beat in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Test by pressing a finger into the dough; a fingerprint should stay.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch square baking pans.
- Prepare filling: Mix sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and divide in half. Roll one piece into a 16x8-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the filling over top. Start at the long edge of the rectangle and roll up as for a jelly roll. Cut into eight 1-inch slices and place cut-sides down into one prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining rectangle.
- Bake in the oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare frosting by mixing confectioners' sugar and water together in a bowl.
- Remove rolls from the oven. Transfer to a large serving plate and spread frosting over top.

Tips:
- Use active dry yeast for best results. If using instant yeast, reduce the amount by 25%.
- Proof the yeast in warm milk before adding it to the dough. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a light and fluffy cinnamon roll.
- Use unsalted butter for the dough and the filling. Salted butter can make the dough too salty.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
- Roll the dough out to a 12x18 inch rectangle. This will help to ensure that the cinnamon rolls are evenly sized.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough. If you add too much filling, the cinnamon rolls will be difficult to roll up.
- Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the seam.
- Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cover the cinnamon rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
