Time 3h15m

Yield 12 Cinnamon Rolls

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup water
1 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup nonfat milk powder, sifted if needed
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the bowl
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for the baking dish
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the baking dish
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Heat the water to 100 degrees F in a bowl in the microwave. (It should feel warm but not too hot.) Sprinkle the yeast and 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar over the top and stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the flour, milk powder, salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Whisk the melted butter and egg yolks into the yeast mixture, then pour into the well and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together into a shaggy ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust with more flour and knead, adding more flour as needed, until smooth but still slightly sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Make the filling: Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat and roll out into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and lightly press into the butter. Brush the clean edge with water, then tightly roll up the dough into a log, starting with a long side and rolling toward the clean edge; pinch the seam to seal.
  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and lightly sprinkle with granulated sugar. Slice the dough log into 12 pieces and arrange cut-side up in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour, or you can refrigerate overnight, then in the morning let stand at room temperature 2 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the rolls and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes in the baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing: Beat the cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Spread a thin layer on the warm cinnamon rolls; serve with the remaining icing.

THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS



The Best Cinnamon Rolls image

Once you've tried "from-scratch" cinnamon rolls, you'll never go back! The secret to our rolls is the wet, buttery dough and double rising time. Once baked, they will be light and pillowy and full of buttery cinnamon goodness on the inside.

Time 4h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup whole milk, warmed to 110 degrees F
One 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Notes)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk together the whole milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit 10 minutes to dissolve; you will see a few bubbles, but the mixture won't be foamy. Whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt in a small bowl.
  • Add the bread flour, whole-wheat flour, milk powder and beaten eggs to the yeast and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Fit the bowl in place on the stand mixer and fit the mixer with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together but is still slightly tough, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed to high and add 10 tablespoons of the butter a tablespoon at a time (the dough will look broken after each addition, but it will eventually come together) and beat until the dough is smooth, elastic and very tacky but pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 12 minutes. (This may seem like a long time, but the texture of the bread improves with a long knead time.) Alternatively, knead the dough on a surface lightly dusted with bread flour, adding 1 tablespoon of butter at a time, until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until it has a buttery, yeasty smell and has doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes. (If your kitchen is warm, check it at 35 minutes. It should smell buttery and yeasty, and if it's doubled, it's done. If not, check again in 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the dark brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl until no lumps of sugar remain. Smash in the remaining 12 tablespoons butter with a rubber spatula and stir until completely combined.
  • Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a clean work surface and heavily dust with bread flour. Gently deflate the dough by lifting it up around the edges and letting it fall back into the bowl, turning the bowl and repeating if needed. Place the dough on the paper. Roll the dough into a 12-by-15-inch rectangle, pushing the edges towards the center to make straight sides. Spread the brown sugar mixture over the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Starting from a long end and using the parchment to help you, tightly roll the dough into a log, pressing the sides occasionally to keep them flush. Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up the dough.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Cut the dough crosswise into 12 pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the pan in a uniform 3-by-4 grid. There will be about 1/4 inch between each roll and that's ok, the rolls will fill in the gaps as they proof and bake. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free area, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until golden brown on top and baked all the way through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for about 30 minutes before glazing.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, adding more cream if necessary to make a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and serve warm.

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

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 batch Basic Sweet-Roll Dough, recipe follows
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4 -ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for brushing
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one of the long sides. Top with the cinnamon sugar. Brush the clean border with water. Tightly roll the dough into an 18-inch log, rolling toward the clean border; pinch the seam to seal.
  • Slip a long taut piece of thread or unflavored floss under the roll, about 1 1/2 inches from the end. Lift the ends of the thread and cross over the roll, pulling tightly to cut off a piece. Repeat, cutting every 1 1/2 inches, to make 12 rolls. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the rolls and bake until they spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pan. (You can freeze the baked rolls for up to 2 weeks. Cool completely before freezing, then thaw, warm up and glaze before serving.)
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla and salt in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
  • Warm 1/2 cup water and the milk in a saucepan over low heat until a thermometer registers 100 degrees F to 110 degrees F. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the yeast on top, then sprinkle with a pinch of the sugar; set aside, undisturbed, until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture until combined. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, the salt and nutmeg. Make a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to make a thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape into a ball.
  • Brush a large bowl with butter. Add the dough, turning to coat lightly with the butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour, 15 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out of the bowl and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form into a ball and return to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap and lay it directly on the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup granular sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 pound powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
2 drops butter flavor extract

Steps:

  • Dissolve 2 packages of yeast in 1/2 cup of hot water (test on wrist to make sure water is not too hot) and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit. Melt the 1/2 cup of butter and combine with 3/4 cups of warm milk (can be warmed on stove or in microwave, test on wrist to make sure milk is not too hot). Using an electric mixer with a dough hook or a food processor with dough blade, mix dissolved yeast and butter/milk mixture on low. Slowly add 1/2 cup of sugar, then 1 egg. Add salt and 2 cups of flour on low, blend until smooth. Slowly add 1/2 cup at a time, the other 2 to 2 1/2 cups of flour. Put dough onto floured counter top. Knead dough until it doesn't stick to your hands (don't over kneed or add too much flour). Place in a greased bowl. Cover with damp cloth and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until it doubles in size. (Tip, let it rise in oven where the air and temperature is consistent).
  • Remove from bowl and place on a floured counter. Roll out in a 12 by 24-inch (approximately) rectangle, not too thin. Spread 1/2 cup butter over dough, sprinkle with 1 1/4 cups of brown sugar (evenly), sprinkle with 1/4 cup of granular sugar (evenly), and sprinkle 2 tablespoons (or as much as you desire) of cinnamon (evenly). Roll dough into a log. Cut into thumb-width slices or 1 1/2-inch widths. Place in round cake pan or foil pan. Put back in oven to rise to desired height. Remove from oven after they have risen. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Only bake on one rack, center of oven (4 pans fit nicely). Set timer for 15 minutes, then watch for desired brown-ness. Remove from oven - let cool. FROSTING: Combine 1 pound of powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk (this may vary, add or subtract to your desired consistency), and 2 drops of butter flavor extract. Stir with spoon until very smooth and drizzles easily. Drizzle onto completely cooled cinnamon rolls. Let frosting harden. Serve.

Mrs Powells Cinnamon Rolls (Copycat) image

I got this recipe several years ago from a dear friend. I have used it almost exclusively ever since. It works great as cinnamon or orange rolls which ever you please. The key is to watch them closely and not let them get brown, or they will dry out. It makes a huge batch and I have never halved them so I don't know how that would work...we just give them away and I have frozen them with good results. I often split the dough in half and make half cinnamon and half orange.

Time 3h20m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 quart warm water
1 cup melted shortening
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
10 -12 cups flour
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 -4 tablespoons cinnamon (depending on taste)
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 orange, juice of

Steps:

  • Place first 3 ingredients into mixing bowl and let sit till yeast begins to work.
  • Add other ingredients using just as much flour as necessary to make a smooth elastic nor quite sticky dough.
  • Knead well.
  • Place in a greased bowl and let rise till doubled.
  • Punch down, rise till doubled again.
  • knead then let rest 10 minutes.
  • Roll out about 1/2 inch thick .
  • Spread with desired filling butter -- then sugar -- then orange or cinnamon.spreading out evenly and going almost to the edge.
  • Roll up jelly roll style and cut into 3/4-1 inch thick rolls.
  • Place on greased cookie sheet allowing plenty of room for them to expand.
  • Let raise 30 minutes.
  • Cook at 350°F for up to 25 minutes, watch carefully and do not let them brown!
  • Store in an airtight container and only frost when needed.
  • To freshen your cinnamon rolls place a pat of butter on top and microwave for 10-20 seconds.
  • I have no idea how many this makes -- depends on how big you make them.
  • Frosting I use:.
  • 8 c powdered sugar.
  • 1-1/2 T vanilla.
  • 1 c butter or margarine.
  • cream or milk.
  • For orange rolls add 1 T orange zest and the juice of an orange.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast: Fresh yeast is more active than active dry yeast, so it will help your cinnamon rolls rise better.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast means activating it in warm water with a little sugar. This will ensure that the yeast is alive and active before you add it to the dough.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help create flaky layers in your cinnamon rolls.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading the dough will make it tough. Knead it just until it comes together and is smooth.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: The dough should be rolled out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  • Spread the filling evenly: Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough up tightly: Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one long side and working your way to the other.
  • Cut the rolls: Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
  • Let the rolls rise again: Let the rolls rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon rolls are a delicious and classic breakfast treat. They're perfect for a lazy Sunday morning or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make cinnamon rolls that are just as good as the ones from your favorite bakery. So next time you're craving a sweet and decadent treat, give this recipe a try.
