These pretty cinnamon rolls are absolutely marvelous and taste just like the ones sold at the mall. Topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting, they're best served warm with steaming cups of coffee. Or reheat leftover rolls in the microwave and enjoy anytime of day. -Velma Horton, LaGrange, California

35 20 55

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk (70° to 80°)
  • 1/4 cup water (70° to 80°)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • FROSTING:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • In bread machine pan, place first nine ingredients in order suggested by manufacture. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons water or flour if needed).
  • When cycle is completed, turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Roll into a 17-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spread with butter; sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 21 slices.
  • Place 12 slices, cut side down, in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan and nine rolls in a 9-in. square baking pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost warm rolls. Store in refrigerator. Yield: 21 rolls.

Editor's Note: We recommend you do not use a bread machine's time-delay feature for this recipe.

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

Amazing! I would like a bit more filling, but then again, they werent too gooey that it was overwhelming. The frosting was divine.... MMM!! I'm glad I have some in the freezer!

Added chopped pecans to the filling. Wonderful!

Wow. I used All-purpose flour as that's all I had but it was still great!

This was my first attempt making cinnamon rolls from any recipe and I will look no further because these are wonderful. My 14 year old son calls them "amazing".

Forgot to mention- It seems easier to me to bake these rolls on a 17x11 cookie sheet. Fits all rolls on one pan. I also bake them on parchment paper to make removing clean and easy.

I've tried many different cinnamon roll recipes that people have told me were "the best" but I never agreed with any of them until this one. They are absolutely delicious and the best thing is, they are easy because the dough mixes in your bread machine and there are no steps like "scald milk", etc. The only difference I have made in the recipe is using all purpose flour instead of bread flour because that's what I had on hand but they have come out perfect every time. I'm making them right now. YUM!

This was a wonderful recipe, my Family loved it, compared it to the ones at the mall. I made it again Vegan for a Family friend who is allegic to milk and dairy, and it was just as good. This is now my only recipe for cinnamon rolls!
