How To Make one hour cinnamon rolls from scratch
-
Step 1In a large mixing bowl, a stand mixer works very well, combine butter, buttermilk, water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes.
-
Step 2Stir in eggs. Add 5 cups of flour and the salt. Using a mixer, use the dough hook, turn on to slow until it starts to incorporate ingredients, then turn up to medium setting. Scrape down sides after a minute or two. If dough is really sticky, add more flour a half cup at a time. Once the dough has come together turn down to lowest setting and let mix for 10 minutes. Dough should be pulling away from bowl easily while it is mixing. Cover with clean towel and let rest 10 minutes. If doing by hand, stir in as much of the flour as you can. Turn out on floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.
-
Step 3During this rest time make filling. In a small sauce pan combine with a whisk brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Add butter and vanilla. Cook over low heat while stirring just until it starts to bubble on edges of pan. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Step 4Turn out dough on a floured surface. Form into a ball. Roll out to a 12×20 rectangle.
-
Step 5If butter has separated a bit from your filling, give it a quick little whisk. Spread on warm filling. Move fairly quickly because as the filling cools it thickens up, making spreading a bit difficult.
-
Step 6Roll up jelly roll style, from the long side.
-
Step 7Cut into 24 pieces, as evenly as you can.
-
Step 8Place in greased 13×9 pans, you will need two, 12 in each. Cover with clean towels and let rest 10 minutes.
-
Step 9Bake in preheated oven of 375° for 20 minutes.
-
Step 10While baking mix up the icing ingredients. You shouldn't need much milk, so go slowly. It is supposed to be super thick.
-
Step 11Remove from oven. Ice the cinnamon rolls while hot. Enjoy!
