I got this recipe from my father in law, who is a phenomenal cook. It's very easy to make, and if made right, this is as close to CINNABON as you can get! Ingredients:
4 1/2 teaspoons yeast |
1 cup warm milk |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup melted butter |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup cinnamon |
7 tablespoons butter (softened) |
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
1/2 cup cream cheese |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Mix yeast and milk. set aside until foamy (about 5 mins). mix in sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. mix well. turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead. place dough in a large greased bowl until double in size (approx. 1 hour).
3. Roll dough into large rectangle (20x15).
4. Smear softened butter all over dough. once dough is covered with butter, take approximately 1 cup of brown sugar and cover dough. Then take cinnamon and sprinkle all over brown sugar. Roll up like a jelly roll tightly (long side) cut into 1 inch rolls. Place in greased (buttered) baking pan. Set aside for 30 minutes to rise.
5. While you are waiting, mix icing: cream all ingredients together with an electric mixer, mix until icing is fluffy.
6. Bake rolls at 400°F until they are slightly brown on top. Don't over bake them! if you push down on top and they spring back up, they are ready! Cover with icing while they are still hot! Pile on icing!
