Cinnabon Clones

Best cinnamon roll recipe ever! They are so soft and perfect. The recipe is adapted from one found on allrecipes.

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine melted
4-1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2-1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

Frosting:
1 (3oz) package cream cheese softened
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt

Mixer directions:
Put ingredients in mixer and mix with dough hook. Use dough hook to knead. When done kneading put in oiled bowl and let rise until doubled in size.

Bread Machine directions:
Place ingredients in pan of bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press START.
  • After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll dough into a 16x21-inch rectangle (we actually measured). Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough tightly and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in lightly greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled (about 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 400.
  • Bake rolls 15 minutes or until golden brown. While rolls are baking make frosting by beating all frosting ingredients together. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

I actually made these one evening, covered them and put them in the fridge overnight. The next morning I took the plastic wrap off and put the rolls into a cold oven. I then set the temperature to 350 and baked for 20 minutes. I put frosting onto hot rolls, let melt for a mimute and then spread it around. They were amazing!
