How To Make ubc cinnamon buns

  • Step 1
    Put rolls ingredients in bread machine pan in order suggested by the machine manufacturer.
  • Step 2
    Select dough cycle. When cycle is complete remove dough from machine and put on lightly floured surface. (This is a soft dough.) Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Prepare filling: In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon.
  • Step 4
    Roll dough to a 14" X 9" rectangle. Generously brush with 2 TBSP melted butter. Place remaining 2 TBSP melted butter in bottom of 10" round baking pan.
  • Step 5
    Sprinkle dough evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up tightly like a jelly roll, pinch seam to seal. Remeasure and shape back to a 14 inch roll. With a sharp knife cut into 2 inch slices. Arrange slices in the prepared pan and cover loosely with greased parchment.
  • Step 6
    Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size - about 20 to 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 or 45 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and invest onto serving tray. Makes 7 large cinnamon buns.
  • Step 7
    Note: for smaller cinnamon buns roll to a 12"X9" rectangle and proceed as above. Cut dough into 12 one inch slices and put into a 9 X 13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until done.
