Cinnamon Rolls Big N Soft Recipes

SOFT CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the sugar, salt, egg and 1 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well with each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Smear the dough with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll up the dough along the long edge until it forms a roll. Slice the roll into 16 equal size pieces and place them in the pan with the cut side up.
• Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or cover and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

EXTRA LARGE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp of sugar and the yeast. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes until frothy.
• Add the remaining water, sugar, salt, melted butter and 5 1/2 cups of the flour.
• With the dough hook attachment, turn the mixer to low until ingredients are combined. Then turn to medium and allow mixer to knead the dough for about 7 minutes until it has pulled away from the sides and is stretchy.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes, adding a bit of extra flour if needed, until smooth and elastic.
• Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. About 2 hours.
• After dough has risen, turn onto a floured surface and gently roll into a rectangle approximatly 24 inches by 14 inches with the long edge facing you.
• Spread the butter over the dough, leaving 1 inch at the top end.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon over the brown sugar.
• Roll the dough up, starting from the edge closest to you. Pinch the seam to help keep it closed.
• Cut the roll into 12 pieces, about 2 inches wide each. Then lighly spray 2 8x11 baking dishes with non-stick spray and place rolls in the dish leaving 2 inches between them. (you can also use 9x13 pans)
• Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled. About 2 hours.
• After rolls have risen, bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden.
• Remove rolls from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then frost as desired. Serve warm.

EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat milk and 1/3 cup butter together in a microwave-safe container in a microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until mixture reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C). If too cool, microwave for 15 seconds more; if too hot, let cool to proper temperature.
• Whisk eggs lightly in a small bowl, adding a small amount of milk mixture at a time to temper eggs until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
• Mix 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add to milk mixture and beat on low speed using a dough hook, scraping down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula as needed.
• Add remaining flour slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Continue to knead on low speed until dough looks smooth, 7 to 10 minutes; dough will be sticky and the bottom will remain stuck to the bowl.
• Pour vegetable oil over dough and turn to coat. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to shape into a small rectangle. Roll dough out into a rectangle that is about 1/4-inch thick.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Spread 1/3 cup softened butter over dough and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll dough into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces.
• Place rolls, cut-side down and almost touching, into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately turn out onto a tray or plate to cool; this allows the inside mixture to drip back into the rolls as they cool.

HUGE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Gently mix 1/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast for dough in a small bowl. Let sit to proof until yeast is frothy and nearly doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it bubbles, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in margarine until melted.
• Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, salt, and yeast mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix well. Add 1/4 cup water, egg, and the warm milk-margarine mixture; mix until combined. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. You may not need all the flour; ideally the dough will remain a bit sticky but should be manageable with floured hands.
• Carefully knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Continue to flour your hands so the dough doesn't stick to them. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, margarine, raisins, pecans, and cinnamon for filling together in a small bowl. Sprinkle a thin amount of filling on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, then spray with cooking spray.
• Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle measuring 9x12 inches. Cut into 6 equal strips. Spread each strip with a thin, even layer of filling (too much may be too sweet) and roll up. Transfer to the baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool.
• Mix frosting, brown sugar, and cinnamon for icing together in a bowl. Pour in melted margarine slowly and mix to a smooth and thick consistency that is liquid enough to pour. Pour a spoonful of icing over warm rolls.
