Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Dessert

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
1 cup milk (lukewarm)
½ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3 tablespoon cinnamon
⅓ cup butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
6 tablespoon butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
1 ½ cups powdered sugar (also known as icing sugar, or confectioner's sugar)
¼ cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar (you can take a tsp out of the 1/2 cup of sugar) in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. If the yeast is good, it will start to froth up.
  • To the bowl of your mixer add the sugar, butter or margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour the milk/yeast mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated and the dough comes clean from the side of the bowl.
  • Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
  • Spread the 1/3 cup of butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
  • Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
  • Cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. You can also use floss to cut into slices, as seen in the video. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!
  • While the rolls are baking make the icing by mixing all the icing ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.
  • When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.

HEALTHIER CLONE OF A CINNABON

Who doesn't love a Cinnabon? These taste so yummy but I always look for a way to make things a little healthier without changing the taste. I just spread a little less butter and use Neufchatel cheese and this recipe still tastes great.

CINNAMON ROLLS - A CLONE OF CINNABON



Cinnamon Rolls - a Clone of Cinnabon image

I have worked on this recipe for several years and have gotten as close as I can to the yummy delicious mess we have all grown to love the aroma and flavor of at the mall. Cinnebon uses Makara Cinnamon, I use Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon, it just smells more like a cinnamon roll to me...personal taste. Enjoy

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 12 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (105 - 110F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup melted margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups bread flour (all purpose flour will do fine, bread flour helps them rise more)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons vietnamese cassia cinnamon
1/3 cup softened margarine
8 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
  • Add the sugar, margarine, salt, eggs, and flour, and mix well.
  • Knead the dough, using your hands dusted lightly with flour (I am lazy and use a stand mixer). After kneading, roll the dough into a ball, place in large bowl and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is ~ 21" long and 16" wide. It should be ~ ¼ " thick.
  • For the filling, combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread softened margarine evenly over the surface of the dough, and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar evenly over the surface.
  • Working carefully from the top (a 21" side) roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
  • Cut the rolled dough into 1 ¾ " slices and evenly place them in a lightly greased baking pan. Place them with 1.5 " of space on all sides to allow for additional rising. (Your pan will look very empty, trust me...if you space them, they will grow).
  • Place your baking pan in a warm place for at least one hour. (the longer you allow them to rise this time the larger the rolls will rise, and the lighter and fluffier the dough will become, I let them rise to fill the pan (a couple of hours)).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Bake rolls for ~10 min or until lightly browned on top. (remember residual heat will continue to bake the rolls after you take them out of the oven).
  • While the rolls bake, combine icing ingredients. Beat well with electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Generously coat the rolls with icing while the rolls are still hot, this will cause the icing to melt into the roll.
  • * Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon - This may seem to be a trivial point, however, this cinnamon is what takes your cinnamon rolls to the next level; one trip to the spice store and smelling the differences in the cinnamon and you'll know why. I am sure its available at several stores, I pick it up at Penzey's Spices.

This recipe is fabulous! The dough is so sweet.This comes from the Allrecipes website. I can't believe this isn't posted here so I thought I'd put it here for safekeeping. My husband thinks these are the greatest thing I make. Sometimes I add raisins (his favorite). Rising time isn't included in the time but it takes about 3 hrs. total time.
