Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Without Yeast Food

EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS WITHOUT YEAST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the milk and butter. Cook just until the butter is melted. (Alternately, microwave the milk and butter together. See Kelly's Notes.)
• Add the milk mixture to the flour, and using a spatula, mix just until combined.
• Flour your work surface then turn out the dough and knead it for 1 minute until it comes together in a smooth ball. If the dough feels overly sticky, add more flour as needed, but do not over-knead the dough.
• Cover the dough loosely with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish with butter.
• Lightly flour your work surface then roll the dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Brush the dough all over with the melted butter then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
• Beginning at the long end, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Trim off the edges then slice the log into 9 rolls.
• Arrange the rolls in the greased baking dish.
• Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until they are pale golden and baked through. While the rolls are baking, make the frosting.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter. Using a handheld mixer, beat the ingredients until smooth then add the vanilla and beat just until combined.
• Add the confectioners' sugar and beat just until combined.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool completely before frosting and serving.
• The milk and butter must be melted together. Using cold milk causes the melted better to resolidify, which leads to an uneven dough.

QUICK CINNAMON ROLLS - NO YEAST

Steps:

• For the filling, in a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
• In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in softened butter (sometimes your hands are the best tools).
• Stir in milk to form a soft dough.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
• Spread the remaining filling on the rolled out dough.
• Roll up the rectangle, with a sharp knife slice into 18 small rolls (12 if you want them a little bigger).
• Bake for 20-25 min at 400°F.
• For glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
• Once rolls are finished, drizzle on glaze and serve warm.

NO-ROLL CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes on a floured surface.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Roll out the dough to an 8-by-14-inch rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the butter and pat down lightly. With a long side facing you, make 3 vertical cuts in the dough, creating 4 equal strips, each 8 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide. Place one strip of dough into the prepared loaf pan, sugar-side up. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough, stacking them.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed, 28 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Invert the pan onto a serving platter and set aside until just cool enough to slice.
• To make the glaze, sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk and vanilla to make a smooth glaze.

FASTEST CINNAMON ROLLS - NO YEAST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°F
• Grease the sides and bottom of a 8 or 9″ baking pan with cooking spray.
• Combine the ricotta cheese, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in food processor and process until smooth, about 10 seconds.
• Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and pulse in short bursts just until the dough clumps together (don't over-process).
• The dough will be soft and moist.
• Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with floured hands 4 or 5 times until smooth (it really only takes 4-5 times).
• With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12×15-inch rectangle.
• Brush the dough with the melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border unbuttered around the edges.
• In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar and spices.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the buttered area of the dough and press gently into the surface.
• Starting at a long edge, roll up the dough jelly-roll style. Pinch the seam to seal, and leave the ends open.
• With a sharp knife, cut the roll into equal pieces (8-12 pieces).
• Set the pieces, cut side up, in the prepared pan; they should fill the pan and touch slightly, but don't worry if there are small gaps.
• Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, 20 to 28 minutes.
• Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
• Run a spatula around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the rolls, and transfer them to a serving plate.
• In a small bowl, mix the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla to make a smooth glaze.
• Add milk as needed to achieve desired consistency.
• Spread or drizzle onto warm rolls.
• Let stand 10 minutes (or as long as you can stand) and serve.

NO YEAST CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 and grease a 8x8 square or 9 inch round pan. Mix dry ingredients for the rolls in a large bowl.
• 2. Mix wet ingredients together in a separate small bowl. Mix wet into dry and mix well.
• 3. On a heavily floured board turn out dough and knead until smooth. Roll into a 9 x 11 rectangle. Brush dough with 2 table spoons of melted butter.
• 4. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar filling ingredients together in a small bowl. Sprinkle them on the rectangle leaving about 1/2 inch from all edges. Begin rolling the dough from the longest end. Roll as tight as possible.
• 5. Cut dough roll into 8-9 even pieces. A very sharp knife makes this easier.
• 6. Place the cut rolls into the greased pan. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. While rolls are baking, combine ingredients for the frosting. Let the rolls cool 5-10 minutes after baking before putting the icing on.

EASY NO-YEAST CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
• Make the rolls: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the oil and, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix until incorporated. (It might be a little lumpy. That's OK!) Stir in the buttermilk until just blended. Gather the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 1 minute. Roll out the dough into a 15-by-8-inch rectangle.
• Gently spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ¼-inch border all around. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough into a tight cylinder. Rotate the roll so that the seam is against the work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into eight equal slices. Transfer the rolls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly. (At this point, you can wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day or 2, or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before proceeding.)
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
• While the rolls bake, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 4 minutes before coating with the glaze. Serve warm.
