Soft, Moist and Gooey Cinnamon Buns
"I found this on Allrecipes, posted by Fionasmom, and tried it over the Christmas holidays this year. Everyone agrees it is a winner and pretty easy. You can make the dough the night before and finish making them in the morning."

14 rolls
- Serves:
- 14
ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 tablespoons water
- 0.5 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package yeast
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Combine the 4 tablespoons water, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Allow to proof for about 15 minutes in warm place covered with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
- Mix remaining wet ingredients for dough in mixer (or by hand). Add yeast mixture. Mix till combined.
- Switch whisk attachment w/ the dough hook or knead by hand. Slowly mix in the flour with the dough hook, on a low speed. Once flour is more or less blended, knead at a high speed till it forms a sort of ball around the dough hook.
- Put in large greased and/or lightly floured bowl. Cover & let rise in warm place till doubled in size (about 30-40 minutes- don't leave longer, even not yet doubled).
- Remove the dough, and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. Roll out to a large rectangle.
- Mix together the softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread over dough. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and raisins, if desired. Starting with the widest end, roll the dough into a log. Pinch to seal seams. Cut into 1/2 inch to 1 inch slices, and place in a greased 9x13 inch pan. (This is the point where they can be placed in the fridge until morning. If doing so, just place a large pan of boiling water in the oven (near the bottom) and put the pan of rolls in above it. Within 30 minutes or so, they will rise and you will be ready to bake them.) Place in a draft-free space, and allow to rise until doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. To make frosting, mix the milk, confectioners sugar, softened butter and vanilla in a small bowl. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.

You say they can be out in the fridge and then you say in the oven; which is it?? It makes no sense. Either you put the rolls in the fridge overnight or you put them in the oven over hot water . I want to make them but now I cannot. Clarify please today 5-16-17.

<p>Since I practically live on this website, my daughter thought it fitting for me to finally post a little about myself. I have so enjoyed getting to know little snip-its of the amazing cooks on this site, I feel I should join the masses and share a little about me :) I am recently retired and now have even more chances to explore new recipes and cook for my family. I have always believed in a home-cooked way of life for my family and fortunately have bestowed my joy of cooking onto my children. Although my DH is an extreme meat and potatoes kind of eater, I have managed to find opportunites here and there to explore the many facets of flavorful cooking. <br /><br />I have the privilege of having my oldest living just down the street with my beautiful, bright grandson, who I bring home with me after school everyday. My father is also down the road and LOVEs enjoying my treats at least once a week. The best, though, is when my daughter- who shares this hobby and love for food with me- comes to town and we spend hours planning, searching and preparing fun new recipes. <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
