Instructions

  1. Place all dough ingredients in bread pan. Select dough setting and press start. When dough is finished rising and machine beeps, remove dough from bread pan. Turn on floured countertop or cutting board.
  2. Pour melted butter for the glaze into 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Distribute brown sugar evenly over butter, set aside
  3. Roll dough into 9 x 18 inch rectangle best you can. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter, sprinkle cinnamon and sugars evenly over dough.
  4. Starting with long edge, roll up dough, pinch seams to seal. Slice dough into 1 1/2 inch sections (you should get 10-12 rolls).
  5. Place rolls cut side up in prepared baking pan. Flatten them slightly. Cover and let rise in warm oven 30-45 minutes until doubled.
  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls about 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven.
  7. In small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla (add more milk if you want a thinner consistency). Drizzle glaze over cinnamon rolls and serve warm!

Notes

Note about bread machines: use 1 1/2 tsp. Red Star brand active dry yeast for all bread machines except 1 1/2 lb. Panasonic/National machines use 3 teaspoons and 1 1/2 lb. Welbilt/Dak machines use 2 teaspoons.

I tend to use more melted butter (or softened butter) in the filling as well as more sugar. I don’t usually measure, just cover the dough with butter, cinnamon, and sugars. Feel free to add raisins if you like too!

I have not tried making this recipe without a bread machine but there’s lots of information on the internet on how to make convert a bread machine recipe to one made by hand.
