Super Fantastic Cinnamon Rolls (Bread Machine Recipe)

This is the best cinnamon roll recipe I have ever used ,and at age 65 I have made quit a few ,I have been baking since I was 11 years old .My best friend called me to tell me about this site and this recipe. I made this recipe today just as posted. I made no changes . If you are going to rate a recipe I believe you should make it as written . I give it 5 stars.

These turned out awesome! The rolls were very moist and the frosting wasn't too sweet. I took these to work and everybody loved them! Thanks, I will definitely be making these again! Update: I made these again today, but did an orange-roll version. Used 1/2 c milk, 1/2 c orange juice and 1 1/2 tsp. orange zest in the dough. I used 1/4 white sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, & 1/4 c butter for the filling and added 1 tbsp. OJ & 1 tbsp. orange zest to the frosting. Delicious!

I have made countless cinnamon roll recipes. THIS is definitely my new favorite. So easy and soooo delicious. The dough was light and airy but still had a good bite and chew. The filling was perfect. The icing was perfect. I followed the advice of other reviewers and mixed the filling ingredients (butter, sugar and cinnamon) in my kitchen aid. Then just spread it on the dough like a thick icing. No more messy counter! And this also ensured the filling was evenly distributed. Great trick. Another great trick that came from Alton Brown is...during the second rise put the pan of rolls in the oven and a place a pan of boiling water under them. This helps the rolls rise nicely. Be sure to remove them before preheating the oven though! I baked them at 350 for 17 minutes. Ohhh and I halved the recipe and baked them in a 9 inch square baking pan. I roll them out thinly and cut them into one inch rolls. This gives me 10 cinnamon rolls. OMG. So good. Such a treat! Now if we could just get the calories out of these that would be great! ;-)

I've done this several times with 1/2 cup of butter instead of a third. They always taste great and I will never buy cinnamon rolls again. You can even freeze them prior to baking and then leave them in the oven overnight to rise so they are ready to bake first thing in the morning. I also use a different frosting since my husband doesn't like cream cheese.

I've been DYING to make cinnamon rolls and when I had some leftover cream cheese to use up, I was ecstatic to find this recipe! And these are just simply AMAZING!! I added a teaspoon or two of wheat gluten to my flour to help with the rise, and probably gave them more than an hour or even two of resting time. Boy did they rise high! They are delicious, even sinfully so! So very soft and packed with the delicious filling. There's no shortage of anything here! I made my rolls smaller and ended up with almost 2 dozen, rolling, cutting and freezing the second dozen for a future batch. Everyone LOVED these rolls. With or without the icing, they are wonderful. I have tons of frosting left though so I'll probably end up covering everything with the yummy stuff! Thanks so much!
