How To Make easiest cinnamon rolls ever!
-
Step 1Heat milk to approx 115 degrees. dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
-
Step 2Add sugar,butter, salt, eggs, and flour, mix well. BE SURE TO USE VERY SOFT BUTTER!
-
Step 3Turn oven to warm. Knead the dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour. Be sure to knead until ball is firm and elastic.
-
Step 4Turn off and place the bowl in warm oven. Let rise approx 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Step 5Remove dough from oven, and reheat oven on warm setting. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approx 21 inches long by 16 inches wide. It should be approx 1/4 thick.
-
Step 6Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread butter over rolled dough, leaving 1/4 of long edge clean. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over rolled dough. Roll lightly with rolling pin to press brown sugar mixture into the butter.
-
Step 7Roll long side, being sure to roll tightly. Pinch edge to roll to prevent it from falling apart.
-
Step 8Cut the dough into 1 3/4 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. ( I like to grease with butter, and then sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar in the bottom.)
-
Step 9Turn off oven once again and return pans for a second rise. Allow to rise approx 1 hour. Remove from oven while preheating to 400. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Step 10While rolls are baking, prepare frosting by mixing all ingredients together in a bowl with an electric mixer.
-
Step 11Remove rolls from oven and frost while still warm.
