The Perfect Cinnamon Rolls image

No words can describe how good these are. Optional: Refrigeration is optional. Once the rolls are cut and placed into a greased pan, you can cover and place in refrigerator overnight and just pop them into a pre-heated oven in the morning.

Time 3h30m

Yield 12-15 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1 (3/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp yeast or one package)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, melted
chopped pecans, toasted
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • PROOF THE YEAST: Warm the milk and water to 110° to 115°. Mix in the sugar and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes, it should be frothy after 10 minutes.
  • BREAD MAKER: In a bread maker, add the proofed yeast first, then egg, then butter, then salt. Add the flour last. Set the bread maker the dough setting.
  • DOUGH BY HAND: In a large bowl mix proofed yeast, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Once the dough is ready (from either bread maker or by hand), punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into an approximated 15 by 9-inch rectangle (1/2 inch in thickness).
  • Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough.
  • Sprinkle with toasted pecans, if using.
  • Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal.
  • Cut into 12 to 15 slices using a piece of string or floss and place in greased pan. (See picture posted with recipe) You can also use a really sharp knife, but in my experience the knife squishes the rolls.
  • Cover rolls and let rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour or so.
  • Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • For the icing: mix all the ingredients together and serve over warm rolls.
  • REFRIGERATION METHOD: Once the rolls are cut and placed into a greased pan, you can cover and place in refrigerator overnight and just pop them into a pre-heated oven in the morning. ENJOY!

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

These cinnamon rolls were a disappointment. The dough was dry and the cinnamon sugar filling was too sweet.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rolls were light and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar filling was not overpowering. I will definitely be making these again.
