How To Make disappearing cinnamon rolls
-
Step 1In a large drinking glass, dissolve yeast into warm, not hot water with 1 tsp of sugar.
-
Step 2In a large microwavable mixing bowl warm milk, sugar and oil for 1 minute. Add salt.
-
Step 3Add 2 cups of flour and mix with a mixer. Add eggs and beat. Stir in the yeast mixture. If your mixer can handle it, add 3 more cups of flour and beat again, if not get your wooden spoon out! Add last 3 cups of flour and mix with spoon.
-
Step 4Cover the dough in the bowl with a clean dish cloth or a piece of plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm area of the kitchen for 2-3 hours or until it doubles in size.
-
Step 5Separate dough into 4 equal size balls.
-
Step 6If you are just making crescent rolls-
-
Step 7roll them into a 1/4" thick circle and cut up like a pizza. Brush melted butter onto triangles and roll up. Place onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper and cover again with a dishcloth. Let rise for another hour.
-
Step 8Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375F until golden brown.
-
Step 9If you are making cinnamon rolls-
-
Step 10Grease a large pan. Roll the dough out, or gently spread it by hand on the counter into a fairly even rectangle.
-
Step 11Brush melted butter over entire dough. I used about 3/4 of a pound of brown sugar per dough ball. Sprinkle brown sugar in a thick layer over entire dough surface. Dust cinnamon a little on the heavy side over the sugar.
-
Step 12Roll the dough fairly tightly and pinch the edges to seal it. Using dental floss, cut the rolls to about 11/2" thick.
-
Step 13Place rolls into greased pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until they are double in size.
-
Step 14in a 350F oven, bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Drizzle with icing while rolls are hot, then enjoy!
-
Step 15For the icing-
-
Step 16Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle in powdered sugar,half a cup at a time. Whisk until smooth. You may adjust sugar to your liking. Stir in the extract you want, then add the creamer until it becomes the consistency that you want to go over your rolls! Enjoy!!!!
