For you fellow cinnamon roll lovers



For you fellow cinnamon roll lovers out there, I have found the most wonderful recipe and it has never failed me. What could be better than the smell of yeast along with cinnamon and sugar? Best part: the way the house smells. Worst part: Mike eats them all!! Ok, maybe not all of them, and maybe this isn't a bad thing since i don't need to be eating a whole bunch of them! LOL

Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp butter
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg

3 tbsp softened butter
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar

1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 tbsp melted butter
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp milk

Directions:

1. In saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk, water, and 2 tbsp butter until very warm. Place milk mixture, salt, flour, yeast, sugar, and egg in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle. Press start.

2. Once Dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and punch down. On a floured surface, roll into a large rectangle. Smear with the softened butter. Combine the cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar. Sprinkle over the rectangle.

3. Roll the dough up into a log starting at the long side. Cut into slices. Place the rolls cut side down into a greased baking pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk into a thick frosting; set aside.

5. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool 10 minutes. Spread frosting over baked rolls.
