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-ORANGE ROLLS



Cinnamon-Orange Rolls image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon grated orange zest plus 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed and for flouring
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for the bowl
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast, hot water and 1 teaspoon of the sugar, whisking to mix. Set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to dissolve and fully activate. It should bubble around the edges and almost double in size. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, orange zest and juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and orange juice mixture and beat until the dough forms a ball, 2 to 3 minutes. Switch out the paddle for the dough hook and knead the dough until fairly smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Lightly coat a large bowl with vegetable oil and add the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • For the filling: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and slightly bigger than the baking dish. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the dough with the brown sugar, then the cinnamon. Starting with one longer edge, roll the dough into a cylinder and pinch the ends together to seal completely. Cut into 12 rolls and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise until they double in size, about 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls and bake, uncovered, until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth. While the rolls are still warm, drizzle them with the glaze and serve.

ORANGE CINNAMON ROLLS



Orange Cinnamon Rolls image

Posted in response to a request for Orange Cinnamon Rolls, similar to the Pillsbury refrigerated rolls. Recipe is from Betty Crocker's "Breads" cookbook, published in 1974. The first time I try a recipe, I like to write the date beside it. I see that I first made these on May 30, 1977 and my comment was: "VG" ("very good")... (Cooking time includes 2 hrs for letting the dough rise.)

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh oranges for the best flavor.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to roll it out to a 12x18 inch rectangle. This will ensure that you have enough dough to fill the rolls.
  • Spread the orange filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  • Cut the dough into 12 even rolls. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size. This will take about 30-45 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, make the orange glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Once the rolls are done baking, brush them with the orange glaze while they are still hot.
