Best 3 Giant Cinnamon Roll Recipes

GIANT CINNAMON ROLL SCONE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cubed butter, then pinch and press the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
• Make a well in the center of the sandy mixture and add the heavy cream and vanilla. Toss and fold until it comes together to form a loose dough.
• Dust your work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough two or three times to bring it together. Use your hands to press the dough into a 5-by-14-inch rectangle with a long side facing you. Imagine the dough divided vertically into three equal sections, like a standard sheet of paper folded to fit into an envelope. Carefully lift the section on the right and fold it over the center section. Lift the section on the left and fold it over the other two layers. When you look at your dough from the front, you should see three distinct layers. Turn the little dough package so that one of the folded edges is facing you.
• Use your hands to press the layered dough back down into a long rectangle similar in size to the first one you made, flouring your work surface and dough as needed.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the filling on top of the dough and spread it out using a spoon or silicone spatula to fully cover the top surface of the dough.
• Cut the dough lengthwise into four equal strips. Pick up a strip and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, filling-side up. Roll it up tightly, then stand it up on one of its flat sides in the center of the sheet. Pick up another strip, and wrap that strip, filling-side in, around the standing coil starting where the first coil left off. Repeat with the two remaining strips. Gently push the circle of coiled dough down to adhere the strips together and flatten the dough to about 9 inches in diameter. Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the chilled roll into 8 wedges, leaving the cut pieces together in a circle instead of pulling them apart.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the scones have puffed and browned around the edges, 20 to 24 minutes.
• Transfer the sheet to a rack to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before carefully moving the warm scones onto a cutting board or serving platter. (If you don't let them cool first, they will fall apart when you try to move them.) Using a knife, gently slice to separate the 8 individual scones, but don't pull them apart.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and vanilla with enough milk until the glaze is spreadable. Drizzle it over the scones and serve.

4-HOUR GIANT BANANA CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C). Generously grease a 10-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or round cake pan with melted butter.
• Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If any warmer, let cool slightly before proceeding.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm milk mixture and let sit for 1 minute, until the yeast starts to foam.
• Add 4 cups of flour and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour, until nearly doubled in size.
• While the dough is rising, make the banana filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt together the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until syrupy. Add the bananas and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the bananas have softened and are starting to break down. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool completely.
• To the risen dough, add the salt, baking powder, and ¾ cup flour. Stir well, then turn out onto a clean surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 12 x 16 inches and ½ inch (1½ cm) thick.
• Spread the banana filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the filling.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into 4 even strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip and start rolling from left to right, building on the first. 11. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
• Carefully transfer the giant cinnamon roll to the prepared skillet and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot to rise for 30 minutes, until the cinnamon roll expands to the edges of the pan.
• Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, then bake for another 35 minutes.
• While the cinnamon roll bakes, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, cream cheese, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
• Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Spread the frosting over the roll and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts before slicing and serving.
