To go along with my need to bake with yeast this weekend, I decided to try a new Cinnamon Roll recipe as well. I've recently discovered how much I love making dough and then allowing it to rise in the refrigerator overnight. I still can't believe that actually works! This time, I used the recipe for Overnight Cinnamon Rolls.
Again, proof 2 1/4 tsp of yeast with 1/2 cup of white sugar in 1 cup of warm milk. Add 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup melted butter, 3 eggs and 1 tsp of salt. Continue adding flour and knead dough until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, covered, for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, roll dough into a large rectangle, about 10 x 14. In a bowl mix 3/4 cup of Brown Sugar with 1 TBS of cinnamon.
Spread evenly over the dough leaving 1 edge clean. Brush this edge with water.
Slowly roll the dough and seal the edge. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
Place into a buttered baking dish. I used 2 8x8 pans so I could freeze one batch for another time. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Look how big they got overnight!!! Allow to sit at room temp for 30 minutes. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
While the cinnamon rolls bake- make frosting :) I didn't use the frosting recipe recommended, instead, I used the frosting from the Clone of a Cinnabon recipe!
My rolls baked for exactly 25 minutes- they got so big!!!
Frost and serve! Very sweet and very delicious :)
Thank you! You just helped me find what I'll make for breakfast Christmas morning. I always make a special breakfast casserole but my son does not care for it. In the past I've always fed him Pillsbury cinnamon rolls out of a can. I've been searching for something better and this is what I'll use. They look great!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try those overnight cinnamon rolls. Maybe I'll make them for my birthday next week! I too love cream cheese frosting. I think I could just eat it by the spoonfull!
ReplyDeleteYou must try them!! I've done the Clone of a Cinnabon roll and I liked these better, but the frosting from Clone :) Happy early Birthday from one Iowan to another!
