Cinnamon Rolls after bakingI made this cinnamon roll recipe for the first time on Christmas morning. Cinnamon Rolls are a family tradition. My boys have requested this version often ever since. This is a good one to have them help with. They are a bit of work, but they're really, really tasty. I always eat more than I intend :)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1 pkg. (2 1/4 tsp.) active dry yeast
  • 4 cups flour (or more)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 tsp. vegetable oil
Nutty Filling:
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 12 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter
Glaze:
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low until warm (about 110 degrees F).

Check milk temperature when beginning.
 

Remove from heat. Combine 2 Tbsp. sugar with yeast in a mixing bowl, and whisk in warm milk. Let rest until slightly foamy (about 5 minutes).

Milk and sugar mixed together.
 

Mix flour with the remaining sugar and salt, add softened butter, egg, raisins (optional), and yeast, stirring well to incorporate all the flour.

Knead dough for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic (or use mixer with dough hook). Add flour as needed.

Form dough into a ball and lightly grease it with the vegetable oil.

Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. I like to use the oven on warm (75 degrees F) for this.

When dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a large rectangle (about 12x9 inches).

Roll dough into a tight cylinder, pinching the ends. Use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch-thick slices.

These cinnamon rolls are really easy to put together as their base is ready-made dough. The added orange zest and juice really give them a nice zing, and make them smell oh-so-good! I used the oranges from my garden, so I thought the final image of these rolls should be out in front of the trees. :)
