This roll recipe, from my husband's family, is one I always prepare for our church conferences. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the cinnamon filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans.—Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

  • Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 16 Servings
20 20 40

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into an 11-in. x 8-in. rectangle; brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to seal.
  • Cut each into eight slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans on wire racks. In a small bowl, combine frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost rolls. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 16 rolls.

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

This is my new cinnamon roll recipe. I made the dough one night, left it in the fridge overnight, and baked them in the morning. They came out delicious. One pan got a little crispier than the other, but they tasted great even when they were a little browner than I would have liked. I ran out of confectioners' sugar so I used a bit of plain sugar- less sugar overall than the frosting recipe suggested, and I did not feel deprived at all (and I have a sweet tooth). The Filling recipe made a bit more than I needed- I packed in on top of each of the rolls after they were in the pan.

Excellent moist rolls. If you add a little more butter to the rolls they are more gooey. I also added a dash of cloves to give it a little more spice. The frosting does not have an overpowering flavor.
