0.5 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding, box
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk

  • Filling:
  • Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Moisten the dough by brushing with milk.

  • Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled.
  • Slice rolled dough into 1/2" slices (or larger if a larger bun is preferred).

  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Do not overbake.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 jumbo crescent rolls (i use the big and buttery)
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 stick softened butter, divided
1/4 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375
  • 2. In ungreased 9 x 13" pan, melt 8 tbsp. butter in oven. Stir in brown sugar and 1/4 c. water.
  • 3. Separate each can of rolls into 2 rectangles of dough. Press perforations to seal. Spread all rectangles with the 4 tbsp. butter. (use more if needed)
  • 4. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough.
  • 5. Roll up dough starting at shorter side, making rolls of dough. Place in freezer to firm up so it will be easier to cut the. Once firm cut each roll into 6-8 slices. Place cut side down in prepared pan.
  • 6. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Dump upside down on tray. (You may add chopped nuts to the butter/brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan if you desire.)

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast should be proofed in warm water with a little sugar for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, it won't activate properly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cinnamon rolls will taste. Look for fresh milk, butter, and eggs, and use a good quality flour.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place, about 75-80°F, for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: When rolling out the dough, make sure to do it evenly so that the cinnamon rolls are all the same size.
  • Don't skimp on the cinnamon sugar: Be generous with the cinnamon sugar filling. It's what gives cinnamon rolls their delicious flavor.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until they're golden brown: Bake the cinnamon rolls until they're golden brown on top. This will ensure that they're cooked through.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before frosting: Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Gooey cinnamon rolls are a delicious and indulgent treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cinnamon rolls at home that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try.
