Cinnamon Roll Recipe?

michigangirl723 — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 00:32:02 GMT

I love baking, but Cinnamon Rolls are one of the only things I have never attempted. I was looking for a recipe, but there are so many out there that are so different, I didn't know which to choose. Some have yeast, others don't...some use shortening, others don't, etc. Just may different recipes....was hoping someone could give me a tried and true recipe they use? Wanting to make some for brunch one day during the holidays when we have overnight guests. Thanks so much in advance!

Pioneer Woman has a great recipe for cinnamon rolls. Go to her website, because most of her recipes are posted there.

@luv-the-Q

Thank you so much! I found it on her website...I have tried several of her recipes and have loved each of them, so I'm sure these will be just as delicious!

I love to bake & my cinnamon rolls are sort of famous.

They are easy to make, but they take a while & they are at their best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Cinnamon Rolls

1c water

2T butter

3c bread flour

1/4c sugar

1t salt

2 1/2t yeast or 1 packet

Measure all ingredients into bread machine with the water & butter on the bottom & the yeast on the top & set on dough cycle.

Prepare filling.

1/3c sugar

2t cinnamon

2T softened butter

Flatten dough w/ hands or rolling pin into a 9” square on a floured surface.* Spread the softened butter on the dough & sprinkle cinnamon & sugar mixture.

Roll dough up tightly; pinch edge if dough to seal. Cut into 1” slices. Place in pan. Cover & let rise in warm place for 1-1 ¼ hrs until double in size.

Heat oven to 375*. Bake 20-25 mins. Remove from pan to wire rack. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls.

*I make mine into a 12" square & I am rather generous with my measurements of the butter to smooth onto it.

I use a piece of regular (Not mint) dental floss to cut the dough. It's clean & easy.

Linda’s Buttercream Frosting

4T butter

2c powdered sugar

1t vanilla

2T warm milk

Mix ingredients & mix the heck out of them until smooth.

@Dusty1

Thank you so much for sharing your famous recipe! A lot of people don't like to give away their secrets...which I've never understood, but I really appreciate it. Can't wait to give them a try!

@michigangirl723Maybe you will improve on them & share with us.

My son always asks for these for his birthday.

I have cheated from time to time (I used frozen bread dough once & canned frosting once), but he busted me both times.

He even said "This is Pillsbury Frosting!".

They weren't bad either time. Just not as good.

Have fun & bake on!

@Dusty1

That is so funny....we've all been there and needed to cheat bc we don't have time, but it's never the same. Homemade is always best!! Thanks again and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Roll out dough 15 x 9

Melt 3 T butter brush on dough

sprinkle with 1/3 c sugar + 3 t cinnamon mixture

chopped pecans (optional)

Roll dough up & cut into rolls. Makes 15

Let Rise in Oven for 30 mins. on lowest setting

Bake 350° for 15 mins.

@michigangirl723 They are really good. DH always made a copycat Cinnabon recipe from scratch. It was a lot of work. This recipe is so much easier & just as good. Hope you like them.

@Dusty1 ITA. Grocery store cinnamon is no camparison to Penzey's that's for sure.

We used to use Cinnabon Cinnamon from The Cinnabon place years ago & thought it was good. After trying Penzey's I have not used anything else.

I'm down to my last jar & my refill bag is empty so I will have to order some more as we use quite a bit this time of year.

If you are in a hurry you can make them with frozen bread dough. Jus thaw the dough, and follow your recipe
