ANOTHER CINNABON-TYPE CINNAMON BUN

Steps:

• Using the bread machine instructions, heat the milk to whatever temperature your machine suggests for the dough cycle. Place the dough ingredients into the machine in the order recommended and mix, knead and rise with the dough cycle.
• Butter a 9" X 13" X 2" pan thoroughly.
• Once the dough cycle ends, remove the dough from the machine and punch it down on a buttered countertop. Roll out to a large rectangle, about 30" X 15".
• Warm the butter for the filling to room temperature and spread over the dough evenly. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and the cinnamon, then starting on a long side, roll the dough tightly into a cylinder.
• Slice the dough into 24 equal slices and place each one cut side down in the prepared pan.
• Let rise in a warm place, covered, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Bake the buns for about 22-26 minutes or until browned all over but not too dark.
• While the buns are baking prepare the frosting by combining all ingredients at room temperature and beating very well for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
• Frost the buns in the pan as soon as you remove the pan from the oven. The frosting will melt somewhat into the spaces in between the buns. Cool in the pan and enjoy!

CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• Combine the water and milk in a medium saucepan and warm over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the surface over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top and set aside without stirring, until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk the butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture.
• Whisk the flour, the sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon to make a thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put dough in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly with butter. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough on the plastic, and note the time. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Turn dough out of the bowl and knead briefly to release excess air; reform into a ball and return to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with plastic and proof in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• To fill and form the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Turn prepared dough onto a floured work surface and press, then roll into 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with a long edge facing you. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about an inch border on the side opposite you. Evenly scatter the cinnamon-sugar over the butter. Starting from the long side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight cylinder. Lightly brush the clean edge of the dough with water. Press the open long edge to the dough to seal the cylinder.
• Slip a long taut piece of string or dental floss under the roll, about 1 1/2 inches from the end. Lift and cross the string ends over the roll, then pull the ends tightly in opposite directions to cut a single roll. Repeat, cutting every 1 1/2 inches, to make 12 rolls. Place the rolls cut-side-down in the prepared pan, leaving 1 inch of space between them. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise until rolls double in size, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake buns until golden brown and the tops of the buns spring back when pressed lightly, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
• To make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the condensed milk, butter, and lemon juice to make a smooth, slightly loose icing. Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Drizzle the icing over warm buns. Serve.

CINNABONS - CINNAMON BUNS FROM HEAVEN

Steps:

• To prepare dough: In a cup, combine yeast, warm water and 1 tsp sugar, stir and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix milk, remaining 2/3 cup sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs; stir well and add yeast mixture.
• Add half the flour and beat until smooth.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour until dough is slightly stiff (dough will be sticky).
• Turn out onto a well-floured board; knead 5-10 minutes.
• Place in well-buttered glass or plastic bowl, cover and let rise in warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When doubled, punch down dough and let rest 5 minutes.
• Roll out on floured surface into a 15 x 20 inch rectangle.
• To prepare filling: Spread dough with 1/2 cup melted butter.
• Mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over buttered dough.
• Sprinkle with walnuts and raisins, if desired.
• Roll up jellyroll-fashion and pinch edge together to seal.
• Cut into 12 slices.
• Coat bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan and an 8-inch square pan with remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
• Place cinnamon roll slices close together in pans.
• Let rise in warm place until dough is doubled in bulk,about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until rolls are nicely browned.
• Cool rolls slightly.
• To prepare glaze: Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix melted butter, powdered sugar and vanilla; add hot water 1 Tbsp at a time until glaze reaches desired spreading consistency.
• Spread over slightly cooled rolls.
• These will taste most like the originals if you use Makara Cinnamon (available at the Cinnabon Stands) instead of conventional powdered cinnamon from the supermarket.

CINNABON CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Heat milk and water, then add butter to melt.
• In another bowl, whip eggs until very fluffy, then gradually add the hot milk/water mixture to the eggs as you keep the mixer going. When blended, gradually add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Knead for 5 minutes. The dough texture will be very wet. Add VERY tiny amounts of flour if needed, no more than 1/2 cup. Kneading helps the texture to become more dry and elastic.
• Let rest til double in size.
• Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and 21"x16", or smaller and thicker for thicker cinnamon rolls.
• Spread softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle with filling mixture.
• Roll lengthwise to 21" roll. Cut in 1 3/4" slices, 6 to a baking sheet. Do not put these too close together, as they will spread.
• Bake 10 minutes or until light brown.
• As soon as you take them out of the oven, top with a spoonful of the icing mixture. Don't worry that the icing is super thick, it will melt and spread out.
• Icing- Cream butter and cream cheese together until well blended. Add vanilla and mix. Add salt, and gradually add powdered sugar until well incorporated.

MY CINNABON CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Making the Dough- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, pour in water, yeast and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Stir and proof 5 minutes. Once mixture looks bubbly and frothy, pour in remaining sugar and salt. Stir on low for 15-20 seconds. In a small bowl, measure buttermilk, oil and egg. Whisk ingredients together until egg is incorporated to other two ingredients. Pour contents into the water and yeast mixture. Stir another 20 seconds in the mixer. Pour 2 cups of flour into mixer and stir on low until incorporated. Sprinkle flour in by 1/4 cup increments until dough cleans the sides and bottom of the bowl. Dough should be sticky but not sticky enough to stick to your hands when touched. Once it has reached this stage, turn mixer on and knead for 5 minutes. Remove dough from bowl, grease and replace back into same mixing bowl {since it's practically clean anyways.} Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Rise 1-2 hours or until dough has doubled in size.
• Filling and Cutting Rolls- In a medium size bowl, stir brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch together until combined. Set aside. Punch down dough. Flour a large clean table liberally with flour. Lightly flour dough as well. Roll dough out to be a 20x30 rectangle {or as close to that as possible} while moving dough around to ensure it's not sticking to your work surface. If it's a little short or uneven, feel free to cut off the edges to even it all out. {FYI-I cut off some dough on one side and filled in a spot that needed more dough on the other side to make a more even rectangle.} Spread softened margarine over dough, being sure to go right to the edges leaving a 1-inch strip untouched on one of the longer sides of dough. Dump brown sugar mixture onto the middle of the dough and spread with your hands, creating an even layer over top of the margarine, still leaving that 1-inch strip of dough untouched. If you have any filling that falls off the sides of the dough, use a bench scraper to replace. Lightly press the sugar mixture into the margarine using a rolling pin. Roll the dough up into a tight log, finishing with the plain dough on the bottom to seal the entire thing together. Cut off the uneven ends to even out the log. Score log every 2 inches and then slice your rolls using those marks. Place into parchment paper lined, margarine greased pans. 12 into a 9x13, 3 remaining into a loaf pan, or 8x8 with the small ends. Cover pans with plastic wrap and dish towels. Let rolls rise another 1-2 hours or until they are touching and have risen almost double. My rolls always spread out more than up, so just be aware that they will most likely spread out more than up. Bake in a preheated 350 degree for 17 minutes, or until tops start to brown. Watch them carefully!
• For the Frosting- While the rolls are baking, whip cream cheese and margarine together. Stir in vanilla, corn syrup and lemon juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Pour in powdered sugar and stir slowly until it starts to incorporate. Then mix on high for 5 minutes or until frosting starts to lighten in color. Scrape sides and mix again briefly. Once rolls have been removed from the oven, frost using half the amount made. Then after they have cooled a few more minutes, frost again with remaining frosting. The first frosting will melt down into the rolls and the second layer should stay put. Serve warm.
