Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup milk (I used 2% milk)
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant ("rapid rise") yeast
1 egg
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 ounces (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk (if needed)

Steps:

  • Combine milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute, then remove and stir. Continue heating in 20 second intervals, pausing after each to stir, until the butter is melted and the milk is warm to the touch but not hot. (The mixture should be around 110°F - I recommend measuring the temperature with a cooking thermometer.) If it is too hot, just wait a few minutes for it to cool.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, granulated sugar and salt until combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment, add the warm milk mixture and sprinkle the yeast on top, then give the mixture a brief stir. Add the flour mixture and egg, and beat on medium-low speed until combined. If the dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl, add more flour (up to an additional 1/2 cup), until the dough begins to form a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Continue beating for 5 minutes on medium-low speed. Remove dough and form it into a ball with your hands. Place it in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the dough rests, make your filling by whisking together the granulated sugar, brown sugar and ground cinnamon together in a small mixing bowl until combined.
  • Once the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured work surface. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 9 x 14 inches in size. (If you want all of the edges to be even, you can use a pizza slicer to cut the dough into an even rectangle.) Use a knife or an offset spatula to spread 1/4 cup of the softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Then sprinkle the dough evenly* with the cinnamon and sugar filling.
  • Beginning at the 14-inch edge, tightly roll up the dough and give the final seam a little pinch so that it seals. Use a piece of dental floss or a knife to slice off the two ends of the roll (just 1/2-inch or so on each end, which you can discard) so that the ends are even. Slice the remaining dough into 11 or 12 equal pieces. (11 rolls fit well in a pie plate, whereas 12 rolls fit in a rectangular dish.)
  • Place each of the cut cinnamon rolls into a greased 9-inch pie plate or 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish with a damp towel, and leave it in a warm place to rise for 25 minutes. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • While the dough is rising, whisk together either the cream cheese icing ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth. If it seems too thick, add in an extra tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. If it is too thin, add in extra powdered sugar.
  • Once the rolls have risen, uncover the dish. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and cooked through. Remove and let cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle with the prepared icing and serve warm.

1 HOUR CINNAMON ROLLS



1 Hour Cinnamon Rolls image

Usually this recipe takes me a little more than an hour to make, but it still is a quick way to make cinnamon rolls for a great morning breakfast surprise. I've been making these rolls for my family for 18 years. It can be made as cinnamon rolls or caramel sticky buns by changing the filling and the icing. If you have a mixer capable of kneading, you can cut the kneading time to about 4 minutes, just until dough comes together well and begins to pull from the sides.

Time 55m

Yield 12 rolls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup water
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup oil
4 cups flour, divided
5 teaspoons fast rising yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 -2 tablespoon half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Combine water (1c + 3T) and oil in a pan. Heat to 125 - 130 degrees.
  • Stir together 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add warm liquids and stir well. Add beaten egg and mix well.
  • Knead for 10 minutes, adding up to 1 cup flour. The dough should be soft. Turn dough on to floured surface. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes. Prepare filling while the dough rests.
  • Roll into a rectangle about 18 inches by 12 inches. Spread filling over dough leaving 1/2 inch clear of filling along one long edge of the dough to seal the roll. Begin rolling the dough along the long edge, jelly roll style. Seal edge by pinching the outer edge of the dough with the part of the rolled dough. This description sounds awkward, but you'll understand when you've got the dough rolled up. :-).
  • Cut dough into 1 1/2 inch slices, should make 12. Place into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover loosely and let rise 10 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes before drizzling with icing.
  • Filling directions: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Using fingers, work the butter into the sugar and cinnamon mixture, until crumbly. Add raisins, if desired.
