This bread-machine recipe is my new favorite. The cream cheese filling and drizzled icing make these golden brown rolls a special treat for breakfast or snacking. —Alice Shepherd, Maryville, Tennessee

Yield: 12 Servings

30 25 55

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup shredded carrot
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (3 ounces) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
1 jar (6 ounces) carrot baby food
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the pudding mix, baby food and cinnamon until smooth. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir.
When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half; shape each portion into a ball. Roll each into a 9-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Spread cream cheese mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges; top with carrot mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
Cut each into six rolls. Place cut side up in two greased 9-in. square baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks for 5 minutes. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm rolls. Yield: 1 dozen.

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 our absolute favorite cinnamon roll recipe! They are super soft and sweet. Wonderful goodness! You'd never guess there was carrot or baby food in it, but I think the baby food lends to the tenderness. We often make them for contractors working at our place and they rave over them.

I always keep a jar of baby food on hand with my other staple ingredients so they can be mixed up at any time.
