Best 10 Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

"CINNABON" CINNAMON ROLLS (USING BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. DOUGH: Place ingredients in bread pan in order they are listed. Set on 2 lb loaf and select the dough cycle.
• 2. Once the bread machine had done the work, turn dough out onto a floured surface. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together, cover; set aside.
• 4. Once dough has rested for 10 minutes, roll out into a 16 x 21-inch rectangle. Spread dough evenly with 1/3 cup softened butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. If desired sprinkle with nuts and raisins (or diced apples).
• 5. Roll dough up (starting with long edge) tightly; slice (using sharp knife) into 12 rolls. Place rolls into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled (about 30 minutes). NOTE: You can cover and put in refrigerator over night. They will rise in the refrigerator and this will take a lot of prep time off the next morning. IF baking the next day, take rolls out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking.
• 6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes. After 15 minutes when rolls had lightly browned, I tented with a piece of foil to keep from over browning. NOTE: the original recipe called for 15 minutes baking time, however, this was not long enough for the centers of rolls to cook completely in my oven. Watch and check after 15 minutes; add addtional time as needed for your oven.
• 7. FROSTING: mix all ingredients until creamy. Can store in the refrigerator. Divide evenly; spread over warm rolls.

Steps:

• 1. Measure into a mixing bowl: 1/2 C. warm water and add in 2 pkgs of active dry yeast. Stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 C. of lukewarm milk, 1/2 C. sugar, 2 tsp. salt, 2 eggs, 1/2 C. of room temperature butter. Mix with spoon and begin adding flour to handle easily (1 cup and then 1/2 cup at a time). Keep dough soft and almost sticky, just so you can handle it. This will keep the dough from ending up hard or tough. Mix by hand and then turn out on a floured counter top. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 min). Round up in a greased bowl, grease lightly on top and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a cold rise (4 hours @ 36-40 degrees or a warm rise at 75-85 degrees until double in size.
• 2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 18" x 24" wide (use a ruler because it is important to get it this size. Keep the corners as square as possible. The rolled out dough should resemble a 18x24" rectangle. Spread 1/2 pound of soft butter or margarine over the surface except for the bottom 1 " of dough. Spread the brown sugar mixture (2 C. brown sugar, 3 tbsp. cinnamon) over the butter and roll tightly from the top down towards yourself. It is very important that you roll it very evenly and tightly. Roll dough all the way down to the unbuttered seam. Measure and cut into 12 equal 2" wide rolls. Use a ruler to measure this in order to have them all cook evenly.
• 3. Line your 2 pans with parchment paper. Paper should hang over all side an inch or two. Place 6 rolls (2 rows of 3) into each of the 2- 12x8" high side pans. The pans must have high sides in order for the rolls to have something to adhere to while they bake. You can also use a 11x17" or 13x9" pan if a 12x8 " is not available.
• 4. Warm rise at 110 degrees(a warm oven with a pan of water), for 45 minutes or until the rolls fill the pans.
• 5. Preheat over to 310 degrees and bake for at least 15 minutes. Depending on your oven, you may need to make them up to 40 minutes. I have made this recipe in different kitchens and ovens vary so much that you will have to keep checking to make sure the center is done. The rolls will be golden brown on top, have a firm crust, and not sink down to the touch.
• 6. Frost with the cream cheese frosting when hot(4 ounces of cream cheese, 4 ounces of butter or margarine at room temperature, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp lemon extract. Cut between rolls in pan and allow to cool before removing.
• 7. These cinnamon rolls are time consuming to make, but your family will love you for it. I make these for breakfast on Christmas morning. What a delicious way to start your day!

• Remove top sheet of paper from rolled dough and spread softened butter on top of dough.

• Using bottom sheet of parchment paper has an aid, roll the dough into a log. Start at the end opposite of that which you left uncovered.
• Carefully cut into 8 equal pieces using a serrated knife. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving about half an inch between rolls to allow for expansion. Put any remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture in the bottom of the dish.
• At this point you can either bake them or allow them to rise a bit longer.
• Bake in oven for ~18-22 minutes until tops are golden brown and delicious. Check for doneness by running a knife between rolls in the center of the dish. Dough should not easily stick to the knife.

• Preheat oven at 400 degrees.
• Roll the dough on lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Roll flat until about ¼ inch thick, approximately 21 inches long, 16 inches wide.
• Filling: Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread softened butter over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar mixture even over the dough. Spread with your hands until dough is completely covered with the mixture. Roll the dough up as tightly as possible. You should get about 3 - 5 rings. Cut dough into 1 ¾ inch slices. Place slices into 9 x 13 pans lined with parchment paper. You can only do 6 in each pan. Let rise for about a half hour.
• Icing: Blend softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Add the vanilla, whole milk. Blend. Gradually add the powdered sugar until icing is smooth and fluffy. Place in refrigerator until you are ready to spread it on the cinnamon rolls.

Let them cool about 10 minutes, then coat them generously with icing. If you are making them the day before you serve them, let them cool completely and then spread the icing on. Heat the cinnamon roll for about 15 - 20 seconds in the microwave.

CINNAMON ROLLS (LIKE CINNABON)

Steps:

• For the Rolls: Dissolve yeast in milk that is between 100-110 degrees F. Add the sugar and let sit (proof) for 5 mins until slightly foamy.
• Melt the butter in the microwave.
• In large bowl, add flour, salt, melted butter, and yeast mixture. (Can also use KitchenAid with dough hook attachment). Mix ingredients on low, adding eggs one at a time, continue mixing until dough ball is formed, knead for about 3-5 minutes, then set aside in bowl covered with moist towel and let rise for 1 hour.
• Now make the filling: Combine brown sugar, flour, corn starch, and cinnamon in small bowl. Mix well.
• After dough has risen, punch down dough and roll out on lightly floured surface until it's abou 20-24 inches long and 16 inches wide. (should be about a 1/4 inch thick).
• Spread softened butter (or Smart Balance Spread) over dough. Top with brown sugar mixture. Working from the long side, roll the dough (like a jelly roll), I go from bottom to top, but do whatever's easiest for you.
• Cut the rolled dough in half, then in quarters. Now you should have 4 equal logs of dough. Cut each log into 3 equal pieces giving you 12 rolls.
• Place 6 rolls on lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan (so you should have 2 pans of 6 rolls each).
• Cover pans with moist towel (any clean kitchen towel will do) and let rise in a warm place for another hour.
• At this point, you can also refrigerate (covered with plastic wrap) and keep for the next day- just take out of fridge at least 30-45 minutes before baking).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until they are lightly golden on top.
• While the rolls bake, prepare the icing by creaming the cream cheese along with the other ingredients using an electric mixer (I use hand mixer). Combine until smooth and creamy.
• When rolls are done, remove from oven and cool for about 4 minutes, then spread icing on top of rolls. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Heat milk and water, then add butter to melt.
• In another bowl, whip eggs until very fluffy, then gradually add the hot milk/water mixture to the eggs as you keep the mixer going. When blended, gradually add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Knead for 5 minutes. The dough texture will be very wet. Add VERY tiny amounts of flour if needed, no more than 1/2 cup. Kneading helps the texture to become more dry and elastic.
• Let rest til double in size.
• Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and 21"x16", or smaller and thicker for thicker cinnamon rolls.
• Spread softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle with filling mixture.

• Bake 10 minutes or until light brown.
• As soon as you take them out of the oven, top with a spoonful of the icing mixture. Don't worry that the icing is super thick, it will melt and spread out.
