Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups warm water
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
½ cup white sugar, divided
¼ cup vegetable oil, or more as needed
1 large egg
2 teaspoons salt
6 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
¼ cup ground cinnamon, or more to taste
½ cup chopped pecans, or to taste
Topping:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add remaining sugar, 1/4 cup oil, egg, and salt; mix until combined. Scrape paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading for about 3 more minutes.

From the Penzey's Spices website. I was killing time at a bookstore recently and saw this recipe in a Penzey's cookbook. I want to try it because it doesn't have yeast in it.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 18 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup shortening, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, the stronger the better
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup broken walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons warm milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift flour with salt, baking powder and sugar into a large mixing bowl, and make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs until well mixed, pour into the center of the dry ingredients, along with milk, pure vanilla extract, and butter, which should be melted and cooled slightly, so it is warm, not hot. Mix by hand with a wooden spoon, or on the lowest speed with a mixer.
  • Once the dough is holding together, turn out onto a floured board, knead for 1 minute. This dough is easy to work with-if it seems sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour onto it as you work. Turn the dough over once or twice as you are kneading, then roll the dough out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick. Shoot for about a 9" by 13" rectangle, just like a baking pan, but don't worry if it is a bit bigger or smaller.
  • Combine the filling ingredients, mixing well in a small bowl, then spread onto the dough using a flexible spatula, the back of a spoon or a pastry brush, smoothing out from the middle to 1/2 inch from the edge. Roll the dough up into a jellyroll from the long side, and, using a sharp knife, cut the dough as evenly as possible into 18 pieces.
  • Mix the topping together in a small bowl. Use spray oil to grease a muffin pan, then divide the topping between 18 muffin tins. After dividing up the topping, place one piece of dough, cut side down, in each muffin tin, on top of the walnut mix. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove the cinnamon rolls right away to cool, if some of the topping stays in the tin, just pull it out with a spoon and replace it on top of the muffin while it's still hot. Prepare the icing by whisking all the ingredients together while the rolls cool for at least 10 minutes,. Cinnamon Rolls look great served upside down or rightside up. Pick which you prefer, drizzle with icing and serve.

Kids and adults crave grandma's cinnamon rolls!

Provided by Tana

Time 2h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 (.25 ounce) package yeast
¼ cup warm water
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 cup white sugar
½ cup melted butter
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water, or more as needed

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.

GRANDMA'S BEST CINNAMON ROLLS



Grandma's Best Cinnamon Rolls image

This is from a clipping from a magazine dated 1997 I mix the dough in the bread machine on the dough cycle. And then shape, rise and bake in the oven. The rolls are tender and I like the oatmeal. I finished them off with some icing I had left over from a spanich bar cake that I made a few days before. This is a good recipe if you are home getting ready for overnight guests, the bread machine does a lot of the work, and your guests think you spent hours making these. (the prep time doesn't include the time in the bread machine)

1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh active dry yeast. If your yeast is old or inactive, your cinnamon rolls won't rise properly.
  • Make sure your milk is lukewarm, not hot. Hot milk will kill the yeast and prevent your cinnamon rolls from rising.
  • Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the dough tough.
  • Be patient when letting the dough rise. It takes time for the yeast to do its work.
  • Don't over-bake the cinnamon rolls. Over-baking will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the cinnamon rolls warm with your favorite topping, such as cream cheese frosting, maple syrup, or butter.

Conclusion:

Grandma Moog's Quick and Easy Cinnamon Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
