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.

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

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.

CINNABON'S CINNAMON ROLL CLONE



Cinnabon's Cinnamon Roll Clone image

This is supposed to be Jerilyn Brusseau's "real" recipe for the famous Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.

Provided by Andrea

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h35m

Yield 16 large rolls

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup water
3 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast (or 3 5/8 oz fresh yeast cakes)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled
3 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
3 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, unsifted
2 cups butter, melted
3 cups dark brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine water, yeast and sugar in large mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Add butter to cooling milk to soften.
  • When cool, add milk mixture to yeast mixture and stir well.
  • Add eggs and salt and stir again.
  • Add all-purpose flour; mix well.
  • Add raisins.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups of the whole wheat pastry flour.
  • Mix until dough is quite sticky and begins to leave sides of bowl.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup of remaining whole wheat pastry flour onto board.
  • Knead dough about 10 minutes until dough is smooth, adding more flour if needed. (Dough should still be soft and almost sticky.)
  • Shape dough into a ball and place in large greased bowl, turning to grease top.
  • Cover with damp towel and let rise until double in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Turn dough onto large floured board.
  • Roll out into a 24 x 20-inch rectangle. (Dough will be thin).
  • Filling: Mix together melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Spread entire rectangle of dough with mixture.
  • Sprinkle with walnuts.
  • Roll rectangle tightly from long side.
  • Make sure you end with seam side on bottom.
  • Shape with hands to make uniform in size from end to end.
  • With very sharp knife (or a long piece of dental floss) cut roll into 16 equal slices.
  • Place side by side in two well greased 13 x 9 x 3-inch metal baking pans.
  • Cover with warm, damp towel and let rise in warm place for 30 to 40 minutes until almost doubled in size.
  • Bake at 350°F until nicely browned and filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes.
  • When you remove from oven, invert onto serving platter or baking sheet to allow syrup to drip from pan onto rolls.

Tips:

  • For a gooey center, make sure to use a generous amount of cinnamon sugar filling. You can also add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the filling to help thicken it up.
  • To get that classic Cinnabon swirl, start by rolling the dough out into a long rectangle. Then, spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Starting from the long side, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
  • Before baking, let the cinnamon rolls rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until they have doubled in size. This will help them to become light and fluffy.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.
  • For the cream cheese frosting, make sure to use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix and spread. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to taste.

Conclusion:

With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make a healthier version of Cinnabon cinnamon rolls at home. These rolls are just as delicious as the originals, but they are made with whole wheat flour, less sugar, and no artificial ingredients. They are also a good source of fiber and protein. So, next time you are craving a Cinnabon, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
