Step-By-Step to the perfect dough- Mixer Instructions
*Bread machine instructions can be found at the bottom of post.
I'm confident these cinnamon rolls will be the easiest you'll ever make.
Cinnamon Roll Filling
Mix softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together for the filling.
Evenly spread the filling over the dough.
When I roll my dough I leave about a half-inch along the horizontal edge closest to me. This will help the dough stick together so your individual rolls won't create a weird tail while baking!
I always use a stainless steel scraper to cut my rolls. Start by cutting the dough log in the middle.
Then cut each half in half again. This will leave you with four equal pieces.
Then cut each of those quarters into three equal pieces!
Place all 12 rolls onto a greased Jelly Roll Pan. Turn the oven off and place the pan in the oven with a towel loosely covering the cinnamon rolls. Leave in the warm oven for 30 minutes. Carefully remove rolls from the oven while you preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook rolls for 13 minutes.
Frosting Step-by-step
- Add softened butter, powdered sugar, & cream to a mixing bowl.
- Whip together until fluffy.
- Scrape sides as necessary.
Frost and enjoy!
- Cut your rolls with my favorite stainless steel scraper. You'll have perfectly clean cuts. Then use the scraper to clean the flour off our counters!
- Add all your ingredients to the Bread Machine and walk away for 90 minutes!
- When frosting: frost cinnamon rolls immediately for a glaze or wait ten to fifteen minutes for a cinnamon roll with thicker frosting.
- The Cream Cheese Frosting we use on our Pumpkin Bars would also be delicious on these Cinnamon Rolls!
