When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS



The Best Cinnamon Rolls image

Once you've tried "from-scratch" cinnamon rolls, you'll never go back! The secret to our rolls is the wet, buttery dough and double rising time. Once baked, they will be light and pillowy and full of buttery cinnamon goodness on the inside.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup whole milk, warmed to 110 degrees F
One 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Notes)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk together the whole milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit 10 minutes to dissolve; you will see a few bubbles, but the mixture won't be foamy. Whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt in a small bowl.
  • Add the bread flour, whole-wheat flour, milk powder and beaten eggs to the yeast and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Fit the bowl in place on the stand mixer and fit the mixer with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together but is still slightly tough, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed to high and add 10 tablespoons of the butter a tablespoon at a time (the dough will look broken after each addition, but it will eventually come together) and beat until the dough is smooth, elastic and very tacky but pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 12 minutes. (This may seem like a long time, but the texture of the bread improves with a long knead time.) Alternatively, knead the dough on a surface lightly dusted with bread flour, adding 1 tablespoon of butter at a time, until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until it has a buttery, yeasty smell and has doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes. (If your kitchen is warm, check it at 35 minutes. It should smell buttery and yeasty, and if it's doubled, it's done. If not, check again in 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the dark brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl until no lumps of sugar remain. Smash in the remaining 12 tablespoons butter with a rubber spatula and stir until completely combined.
  • Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a clean work surface and heavily dust with bread flour. Gently deflate the dough by lifting it up around the edges and letting it fall back into the bowl, turning the bowl and repeating if needed. Place the dough on the paper. Roll the dough into a 12-by-15-inch rectangle, pushing the edges towards the center to make straight sides. Spread the brown sugar mixture over the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Starting from a long end and using the parchment to help you, tightly roll the dough into a log, pressing the sides occasionally to keep them flush. Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up the dough.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Cut the dough crosswise into 12 pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the pan in a uniform 3-by-4 grid. There will be about 1/4 inch between each roll and that's ok, the rolls will fill in the gaps as they proof and bake. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free area, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until golden brown on top and baked all the way through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for about 30 minutes before glazing.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, adding more cream if necessary to make a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and serve warm.

Yield Makes 16 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the dough:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 1/4 teaspoons rapid-rise yeast
1/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature, beaten
1 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
For the filling:
1 1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups chopped, lightly toasted pecans
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
Special equipment:
2 9-inch round cake pans

Steps:

  • Make the dough:
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add flour, yeast, and sugar. Mix on low speed until well combined. Add eggs and mix on low to combine. In a small pot, heat milk, butter, and cinnamon over medium-low heat until butter is melted and mixture is between 120 and 130°F (use a thermometer).
  • Add warm milk mixture and salt to stand mixer. Beat on low speed 2 to 3 minutes, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula. Beat on medium speed until smooth and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. Dough will be very sticky.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl with cooking spray. Form dough into ball and transfer to bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap then kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • While dough rises, cut 2 pieces of parchment to fit 2 9-inch round cake pans. Butter pans, line with parchment, and butter parchment.
  • Make the filling:
  • Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in medium bowl.
  • Make the glaze:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt.
  • Assemble and bake:
  • Preheat to 375°F and position rack in center of oven. Punch down dough and transfer to floured work surface. Roll out to 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread butter over dough, leaving 1/2-inch border on the long sides. Sprinkle filling mixture evenly over butter, then add pecans. Starting at a long edge, roll dough toward you into a log, pinching gently to keep it rolled tightly. With seam side down, cut dough crosswise with a thin sharp knife into 16 equal slices.
  • Divide rolls between baking dishes, arranging cut side up; rolls will be touching. Cover baking dishes with plastic wrap then kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Bake rolls until tops are golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and invert immediately onto rack. Cool 10 minutes. Turn rolls right side up. Drizzle glaze over rolls and serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY



How to Make Cinnamon Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: whole milk, sugar, unsalted butter, active dry yeast, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, cream cheese, unsalted butter, milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar

Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Breakfast

Time 3h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¾ cup light brown sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and melted butter. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If any warmer, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the milk mixture, stir, and let sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes until the yeast has bloomed.
  • Add 4 cups (500 g) of flour to the milk mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until nearly doubled in size.
  • Generously butter 2 9-inch (23 cm) round baking pans and set aside.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Mix well, then set aside.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and add the remaining cup of flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a clean surface. Leave a bit of flour nearby to use as needed, but try not to incorporate too much.
  • Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface or your hands. The dough should be very smooth and spring back when poked.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix the corners with a bench scraper or a spatula to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
  • Starting from one short end, roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim any uneven ends.
  • Using unflavored dental floss, cut the log into evenly pieces, about 1½ inches (8cm) thick. Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared pans, 1 in the center and about 5 around the sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 35-45 minutes, until expanded by about half of their original volume. If you're saving the cinnamon rolls for later, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for up 3 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and whisk until homogenous and runny.
  • When the cinnamon rolls are finished, let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the frosting over the cinnamon rolls, using the back of a spoon to spread if desired.
  • Enjoy!

CINNAMON ROLLS



Cinnamon rolls image

Make our ultimate classic cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing to satisfy your sweet tooth. Prepare the day before for warm, sticky buns for breakfast

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

500g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
1 tsp ground cinnamon
50g golden caster sugar
200ml warm milk
2 eggs
100g butter, softened, plus extra for the tin
2 tbsp golden syrup
150g light brown soft sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
125g butter, at room temperature
50g soft cheese
50g icing sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Tip all the ingredients for the dough, except the butter and golden syrup, into the bowl of a stand mixer with 1 tsp salt. Use a paddle attachment to combine everything until it begins to come together into a dough, then tip out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2 mins. Put it back in the bowl and gradually add the softened butter, 1-2 tsp at a time, while mixing on a medium setting. Alternatively, knead the butter in by hand until smooth. Flatten the dough to a square roughly 20 x 20cm, then cover and freeze for 30 mins, or chill for at least 1 hr.
  • Meanwhile, butter and line the base and sides of a deep baking tray, roughly 20 x 30cm. To make the filling, mix the sugar with the cinnamon and a large pinch of sea salt, then set aside 2 tbsp. Beat in the butter to form a thick paste.
  • Lay the dough on a floured surface and roll to a neat rectangle roughly 35 x 25cm. Spread over the filling so it's completely covered. Fold the bottom third of the dough into the middle, then fold over again to cover the top third. For the best results, chill the dough again for another 30 mins.
  • Re-roll the dough to another rectangle about 40 x 30cm, then roll it up along the long edge into a tight log. To get the neatest spirals, cut in half, lift onto a tray and freeze for 15 mins to firm up, then cut into 12 equal-sized slices. Arrange the slices, spiral side-up, in the tin. Leave to prove in fridge for at least 1 hr, or up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the buns for 20 mins, then scatter over the reserved cinnamon sugar and bake for 10-15 mins until deep brown.
  • Meanwhile, mix the golden syrup with 2 tsp boiling water. As soon as the buns come out of the oven, brush them with the syrup glaze, then leave to cool a little. To make the icing, beat the soft cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together, then gradually add 1-2 tbsp boiling water to create a thick but pourable consistency. Drizzle the icing over the buns.

Tips:

  • Activate the Yeast Properly: Ensure the water is between 105°F (41°C) and 115°F (46°C) to activate the yeast effectively and avoid killing it.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh yeast, milk, and eggs contribute to the best flavor and texture of the cinnamon rolls.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least an hour makes it easier to handle and roll out.
  • Don't Over-Knead the Dough: Over-kneading can result in tough cinnamon rolls. Knead just until the dough comes together and forms a smooth ball.
  • Spread the Filling Evenly: Ensure the cinnamon sugar filling is evenly distributed over the rolled-out dough to achieve a consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Cut the Rolls Evenly: Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the rolls evenly, ensuring they bake uniformly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Baking at 350°F (175°C) allows the cinnamon rolls to rise and cook thoroughly without over-browning.
  • Don't Over-Bake the Rolls: Over-baking can dry out the cinnamon rolls. Bake them just until they are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
  • Let the Rolls Cool Slightly Before Frosting: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This prevents the frosting from melting and becoming too runny.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and following these tips, you'll be able to create delicious and fluffy cinnamon rolls that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different frosting flavors, fillings, and toppings to create your own unique variations of this classic treat. Happy baking!
