Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Generously butter two disposable foil pie/cake pans.
• In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
• Add 4 cups (500g) of all-purpose flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
• Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
• Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95g) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
• Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
• Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
• Press the mixture into the butter.
• Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
• Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8cm) thick each.
• Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, butter, whole milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar, until smooth.
• Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
• While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one of the long sides. Top with the cinnamon sugar. Brush the clean border with water. Tightly roll the dough into an 18-inch log, rolling toward the clean border; pinch the seam to seal.
• Slip a long taut piece of thread or unflavored floss under the roll, about 1 1/2 inches from the end. Lift the ends of the thread and cross over the roll, pulling tightly to cut off a piece. Repeat, cutting every 1 1/2 inches, to make 12 rolls. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
• Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the rolls and bake until they spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pan. (You can freeze the baked rolls for up to 2 weeks. Cool completely before freezing, then thaw, warm up and glaze before serving.)
• Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla and salt in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
• Warm 1/2 cup water and the milk in a saucepan over low heat until a thermometer registers 100 degrees F to 110 degrees F. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the yeast on top, then sprinkle with a pinch of the sugar; set aside, undisturbed, until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture until combined. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, the salt and nutmeg. Make a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to make a thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Brush a large bowl with butter. Add the dough, turning to coat lightly with the butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour, 15 minutes.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form into a ball and return to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap and lay it directly on the surface of the dough. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• To make the dough:.
• mix together 2 cups flour and salt, set aside.
• mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a 2 cup measuring cup and set in a warm place for about 10 minutes (slightly warm oven works well) or until frothy.
• heat the milk and ½ cup of the butter in microwave until butter is melted, stirring occasionally.
• pour milk mixture into the flour mixture and beat until smooth (stand mixer works best).
• add the yeast mixture and ½ teaspoon of vanilla and continue beating.
• add egg and 1 cup flour and beat for another 2 minutes.
• switch beater tool on stand mixer to dough hook.
• gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough (another cup or two) it will be slightly sticky and spongy.
• knead dough, cover and rest in bowl in warm oven for 20 minutes.
• when dough has risen, roll out into a rectangle, approx ¼ inch thick.
• spread melted butter over top, leave a ½ inch border all the way around.
• to make the filling:.
• combine brown sugar and cinnamon, increase amounts if necessary to cover the area.
• sprinkle filling over the butter, leaving the ½ inch border.
• roll the dough from the long side, keeping it as tight as possible.
• when you get to the end, pinch the dough along the edge to seal.
• cut into 24 rounds, using a strong thread (slide underneath roll and "cross" thread to cut dough).
• place rolls on a greased pan (I use stoneware and grease lightly with coconut oil) and bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
• let cool slightly, then top with glaze.
• to make glaze:.
• combine powdered sugar, about 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, hot water and stir until smooth.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Combine dissolved yeast with milk, sugar, shortening, salt, egg and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth.
• Mix in enough remaining flour until dough is easy to handle.
• Knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise in warm place until double (1 1/2 hours).
• Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 15X9" rectangle.
• Spread half of margarine over each rectangle of dough. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon over each rectangle of dough.
• Roll both rectangles tightly and cut into 9-1 1/2" slices.
• Place in greased rectangular pan.
• Bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes.
• Mix together glaze ingredients and apread on top of baked rolls. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes on a floured surface.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Roll out the dough to an 8-by-14-inch rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the butter and pat down lightly. With a long side facing you, make 3 vertical cuts in the dough, creating 4 equal strips, each 8 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide. Place one strip of dough into the prepared loaf pan, sugar-side up. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough, stacking them.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed, 28 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Invert the pan onto a serving platter and set aside until just cool enough to slice.
• To make the glaze, sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk and vanilla to make a smooth glaze.
• Slice the cinnamon roll loaf into pieces and drizzle with the glaze.

Steps:

• Cream together the sugar, salt, and shortening on medium-high in an electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a large metal spoon and mixing bowl and do it by hand); if you are using powdered milk, cream the milk with the sugar, but add the water with the flower and yeast. Whip in the egg and the lemon extract until smooth. Then add the flower, yeast, and milk. Mix on low speed (or stir by hand) until the dough forms a ball. Switch to the dough hook and increase the speed to medium, mixing for approximately 10 minutes (or knead by hand for 12 to 15 minutes), or until the dough is silky and supple, tacky but not sticky. You may have to add a little flour or water while mixing to achieve the texture. The dough should pass the windowpane test and register 77 to 81°F Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, rolling it around to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
• Ferment at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
• Mist the counter with spray oil and transfer the dough to the counter. Shape the rolls.
• Line 1 or more sheet pans with baking perchment. Place the buns approximately 1/2 inch apart so that they aren't touching but are close to one another.
• Proof at room temperature for 75 to 90 minutes, or until the pieces have grown into one another and have nearly doubled in size. You may also retard the shaped buns in the refrigreator for up to 2 days, pulling the pans out of the refrigreator 3 to 4 hours before baking to allow the dough to proof.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool the buns in the pan for about 10 minutes. Remove the buns from the pan to a cooling rack. Wait at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat milk, water, and 1/4 cup butter together in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes. Let cool to 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C), 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mix flour, white sugar, salt, and yeast together in a separate bowl. Mix egg into warm milk mixture.
• Pour milk mixture and 1/3 of the flour mixture into a mixing bowl; beat using an electric mixer until moistened. Add remaining dry ingredients slowly until a dough has pulled together. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8 minutes. Place in a covered bowl and let rise in a dry, warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Punch dough down. Roll on a lightly floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup softened butter evenly over dough. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in small bowl and sprinkle evenly over dough. Roll up from the short side; cut into 12 even rolls.
• Place rolls into a greased 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Cover and let rise in a dry, warm place, 8 hours, to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, milk, and vanilla extract for icing using an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy; slowly mix in confectioners' sugar until smooth.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and flip out onto a cooling rack; let cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes, before covering in icing.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm milk. In another bowl, combine sugar, butter, eggs, salt, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Punch down dough; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion into an 11x8-in. rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 8 slices; place in a greased 13x9-in. pan, cut side down. Cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire racks., For frosting, beat butter, cream cheese, vanilla and salt until blended; gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Spread over tops. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line the bottom with baking parchment. Mix the flour, caster sugar and cinnamon together with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk the butter, egg yolks and milk together and combine with the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle, about 30 x 25cm.
• Mix the filling ingredients together. Spread evenly over the dough then roll it up lengthways, like a Swiss roll, to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even-sized slices and pack into the prepared tin. Brush gently with extra milk and bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 mins before removing from the tin.
• Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Place the cream cheese and butter in the centre, pour over 2 tbsp boiling water, and stir to mix. Add a little more water until you have a drizzly consistency. Stir in the vanilla essence, then drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm or cold.
