Grandma Bonnies Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

BONNIE'S CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Use Bonnie's Basic Bread recipe for the dough. After the dough has completed the first rise, punch the dough down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle 15 X 9. Brush the dough with the melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shaker and sprinkle evenly over the dough. Use as much or as little as you like. I use about half the mixture. Add raisins or pecans if desired.
• 2. Now roll it starting on the long side and roll tightly and pinch the seam together to seal. Cut into 14 to 16 rolls.
• 3. Place in a butter greased glass Pyrex oblong dish, sprinkle it with sugar.
• 4. Place the cinnamon roll slices in the pan almost touching. Let rise about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake for 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven until golden brown. Let cool five minutes and then mix the glaze and pour over rolls.
• 5. To make the glaze combine the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla in a small mixing bowl. Add the hot water, one tablespoon at a time until smooth and can be drizzled. Spread over rolls, wait 5 minutes and pour a little melted butter on top of the rolls. Simply decadent! Enjoy!

• 2. Turn dough out on a well floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, {About 5 minutes}. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes.
• 3. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 15 x 14 rectangle and spread each half with 2 sticks of margarine and half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture (or to taste).
• 4. Roll up each rectangle jellyroll fashion, starting at long side, moisten edges with water and pinch to seal. Cut each roll into 1 inch slices. Place slices cut side down on two greased 13x9x2 inch pans.
• 5. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, about 45 min. Rolls will not double in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.
• 6. Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla, stirring well. Drizzle over warm rolls. Yield about 30 large rolls. Enjoy!!!
• 7. THE CAKE MIX: You can use either a white or yellow cake mix. REMEMBER: Don't use a cake mix that has pudding in.

FLUFFY FIRE HOUSE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Sift 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt for dough together into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Stir in yeast. Add butter and blend at low speed until combined. Add hot water (the hottest it comes from your tap) all at once with the mixer running. Mix in egg until fully incorporated. Add remaining 2 cups flour and mix briefly until dough is soft and flour is incorporated.
• Change to the dough hook and knead dough for 10 minutes. If dough does not knead, you may need to add a little bit more flour carefully while the mixer is running. Once the dough climbs up the dough hook you have the right consistency. Make dough into a ball.
• Oil a bowl. Place the dough into the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a cloth and let sit until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Cover your countertop with flour and roll dough out to a large rectangle, roughly 18x24 inches. Sprinkle brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon on the dough, then pour melted butter over top. Roll the dough up from the longer side and cut into twelve 2-inch pieces. Place the pieces in a baking pan or on a baking stone. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Keep a close eye on the rolls; if they start to fall or look deflated at all, bake them immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until no lumps of cream cheese remain. Whip for 2 to 3 more minutes on medium speed.
• Spread icing on warm rolls and serve.

CINNAMON ROLL STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and cinnamon for dough in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
• Combine milk, sugar, and salt in a microwaveable bowl; microwave on high in 1-minute increments until very warm, but not hot to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients; mix on low speed until combined. Add melted butter; mix until well combined. Mix in eggs until incorporated.
• Scrape the paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Mix in the remaining flour until dough is fairly easy to handle. Turn out into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place over a bowl of hot (not boiling) water and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle with cinnamon, and finally brown sugar. Roll up the rectangle jelly roll-style and cut into 12 equal parts. Place the rolls flat on a parchment-covered cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Don't worry if they don't touch, they will continue to rise when baking.
• While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining softened butter. Serve hot.
