Equipment

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • 1 cup milk microwave to 110 degrees
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast or active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour scooped, and leveled

Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Start by adding all the cinnamon roll dough ingredients into your bread machine as directed by your bread machine manual.
  • Press the dough cycle and allow it to work the dough. Once the dough is done, you can move on.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and grease a 9x13 pan. Set it aside for the time being.
  • Take the dough and punch it down once it has risen and is done in the bread machine. Place it on a floured surface and work the dough for a few minutes. If you find the dough is too elastic, let it sit 5 minutes and then work with it.
  • Roll the dough out to a thin layer of 16 inches by 22 inches.
  • Spread the softened butter all over the dough, except for around 1 inch of the dough. Then mix up the brown sugar and cinnamon filling mixture and sprinkle all over the dough, and spread to an even layer.
  • Next, tightly roll the dough into a long log, and cut into 12 equal parts. Pinch the seams a bit to ensure they stay together. Place the sliced cinnamon roll dough balls in your baking sheet.
  • Cover with a towel and let it rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You want the cinnamon rolls to double in size.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cinnamon rolls are done. Remove and place on a cooling rack.
  • Now you can cream all your ingredients for the cream cheese frosting together with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  • Once nice and creamy spread all over the cinnamon rolls. Then slice and serve up these bread machine cinnamon rolls for breakfast, dessert, or a side to go with chili.

Notes

Bread Machine Dough - All bread machines have specific ways they want ingredients added in. Make sure to refer to your bread machine to put the ingredients in the right way, or you can run the risk of not getting the proper dough.
Frosting - I used a cream cheese frosting but you can always swap it with a classic glaze, or even serve them plain.
Storing - Refrigerate the cinnamon rolls due to the cream cheese frosting. You can also freeze for 3-4 months.
