Homemade Cinnamon Rolls – A Bread Machine Recipe

Step 1

Place the ingredients for the dough in your bread machine in the order listed. If your machine doesn’t have a yeast dispenser, just nestle the yeast in on top of the ingredients.

Step 2

Run your machine on a dough cycle.

Step 3

After dough is done, take it out and split the dough into two mounds.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll one mound of your dough out into some sort of a rectangle.

Step 5

Spread half of the melted butter over the rolled-out dough.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar over the melted butter making sure to cover as much surface with the filling as you can.

Step 7

Starting at one long ends of your rectangle of dough, roll it up.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into about 1 inch pieces. The result will be a pinwheel shaped form when turned on its side.

Step 9

Place pinwheels on greased baking sheet. I like mine slightly touching each other so they all are soft and not too browned on the outside but if you want them not touching, spread them apart on the sheet.

Step 10

Repeat the steps above with the second mound of dough.

Step 11

Cover assembled rolls with a lightweight hand towel and let rise for 25-30 minutes.

Step 12

Bake at 350 for 17 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Tap the middle of the roll to see if it bounces back. If it does, it’s probably done!

Step 13

Combine ingredients to make icing and spread over warm rolls so it melts into them.
