CINNAMON ROLLS FROM FROZEN BREAD DOUGH - EASY

Steps:

• Lightly grease 2 round cake pans with butter.
• Roll bread dough out to an 18x6-inch rectangle and brush with melted butter. Mix brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle over dough. Roll dough into a log, starting at the long edge. Moisten edge with a little water; seal the edge. Cut log into 20 slices; arrange rolls, cut sides down, in prepared cake pans. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour heavy cream over dough.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Stir confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth, adding more milk or sugar as needed so the mixture is easily drizzled. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls to serve.

EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat milk and 1/3 cup butter together in a microwave-safe container in a microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until mixture reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C). If too cool, microwave for 15 seconds more; if too hot, let cool to proper temperature.
• Whisk eggs lightly in a small bowl, adding a small amount of milk mixture at a time to temper eggs until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
• Mix 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add to milk mixture and beat on low speed using a dough hook, scraping down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula as needed.
• Add remaining flour slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Continue to knead on low speed until dough looks smooth, 7 to 10 minutes; dough will be sticky and the bottom will remain stuck to the bowl.
• Pour vegetable oil over dough and turn to coat. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to shape into a small rectangle. Roll dough out into a rectangle that is about 1/4-inch thick.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Spread 1/3 cup softened butter over dough and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll dough into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces.
• Place rolls, cut-side down and almost touching, into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately turn out onto a tray or plate to cool; this allows the inside mixture to drip back into the rolls as they cool.

EASY NO-YEAST CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
• Make the rolls: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the oil and, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix until incorporated. (It might be a little lumpy. That's OK!) Stir in the buttermilk until just blended. Gather the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 1 minute. Roll out the dough into a 15-by-8-inch rectangle.
• Gently spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ¼-inch border all around. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough into a tight cylinder. Rotate the roll so that the seam is against the work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into eight equal slices. Transfer the rolls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly. (At this point, you can wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day or 2, or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before proceeding.)
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
• While the rolls bake, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 4 minutes before coating with the glaze. Serve warm.

GRANDMA MOOG'S QUICK AND EASY CINNAMON ROLLS

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.

Pour the 1/2 stick melted butter over the top of the dough rectangle and spread it almost to the edges with your hand. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter. Starting with a long side of the rectangle, roll it up jelly-roll style as tightly as possible into a long roll, ending with seam side down. With a sharp knife, cut into 12 even slices. Generously coat the bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch baking pan (or equivalent) with softened butter. Place the rolls, just slightly apart, in the pan. Cover rolls loosely with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Place in a warm spot and let rise until doubled in size.
