CARAMEL/CINNAMON ROLLS image

I have made these for years, and everyone loves them. Made them everyday for a small motel we owned, people used to call and ask if I still made those fantastic rolls. This takes time, but it's a easy recipe. Enjoy! Bake at 375 degrees.

Number Of Ingredients 22

6-7 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp salt
2 pkg active dry yeast
1 c water
1 c milk
1/2 c butter
1 large egg
CARAMEL NUT STICKY BUNS MIXTURE (PUT IN BOTTOM OF PAN)
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c butter, softened
2 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/2 c chopped nuts ( i use pecans)
CINNAMON ROLLS GLAZE
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp milk
AFTER DOUGH IS ROLLED OUT SPRINKLE WITH
1/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. I use my kitchen aid mixer to mix. In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast; mix well. In small saucepan, heat water, milk and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees). (I use a candy therometer) Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in an additonal 3 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from bowl.
  • 2. On floured surface, knead in 1 to 2 cups flour until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with platic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
  • 3. I mix all the flour in my kitchen aid and don't hand knead at all.
  • 4. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough in half. On floured surface roll dough out to 18 X 12 inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 c. butter, sprinkle with 1/2 c. brown sugar, and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Roll up tightly, pressing edges to seal. Cut into 18 slices.
  • 5. Use 1/2 of basic roll recipe. For Cinnamon Rolls, place cut side down in greased 9 x 13 pan. Cover and let rise in warm place til light and doubled in size. Bake 25-35 minutes. Mix cinnamon roll glaze and glaze warm rolls.
  • 6. Use 1/2 of basic roll recipe. For Caramel Rolls, grease 9 x 13 pan. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. I put this mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, and mix. Pour into pan, and sprinkle with nuts. Place rolls cut side down. Cover and let rise in warm place til light and doubled in size. Bake 25-35 minutes. Cool 1 minute; invert onto cookie sheet or wire rack, be careful, caramel is hot.
  • 7. I make these ahead, once rolled out, I put in pans, I cover with aluminum foil and freeze. Take out in plenty of time to raise and bake, usually over night.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit dry. I think I didn't let the dough rise long enough. Next time, I'll make sure to let it rise for the full amount of time specified in the recipe.

I've made these cinnamon rolls several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they taste so good. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

These cinnamon rolls were amazing! I used a different type of caramel sauce than the one in the recipe, but they still turned out great. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

The cinnamon rolls were delicious, but they were a lot of work to make. I think I'll stick to buying them from the store next time.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the caramel sauce next time.

These cinnamon rolls were good, but they weren't as good as I was hoping they would be. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cinnamon rolls were heavenly! The caramel sauce was perfectly gooey and sweet, and the cinnamon sugar filling was just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making these again.
