After trying many cinnamon rolls, scrolls and buns whilst traveling in the United States; from the all famous Cinnabons to the frozen supermarket types, I decided that I needed to find myself a recipe.
We ate cinnamon rolls every week for a few weeks (yikes) so I could search, try, tweak and retry recipes. Finally, I settled on a favourite. A recipe from the allrecipes website that claims to be a Cinnabon copycat.
On Saturday we attended a 'kindy family's get together' at a local park and my contribution to the food was (you guessed it!) cinnamon rolls!
I started off by prepping the dough in the bread machine. I add an additional tsp of yeast to the recipe. I find it doesn't rise quick enough otherwise.
When the doughs ready, I cover my work bench with cling wrap for easy cleaning, dust it with a little flour then pull my dough out.
I basically follow the recipe spot on but I just have to stress the importance of using ALL the butter called for in the recipe and maybe even a little more, otherwise you'll end up with dry buns!
Sprinkle with the sugar mix, roll, cut, place in a baking pan and let rise again
When they've risen (they haven't yet in the pic above), Bake in the oven for the 15mins and 15mins ONLY! They can easily be over cooked and they're not good when they are...
Make the icing while they're baking and spread it on the rolls while they're still warm and devour right away!
And they were - devoured - at the park :)
btw... As for the clean up... Too easy!

ReplyDeleteWOW! Your buns look so neat,like soldiers,all lined up looking so identical in size, etc. Must make some soon, but I'll be sticking to our (Nanny's Maori Bread dough) recipe, and I never measure the sugar, butter and cinnamon, just use HEAPS.
