Cinnamon Rolls

I have made cinnamon rolls about a million times, and I have tried about a half million recipes, but this is the one I stick with now:

Dough
This dough recipe comes from my bread machine recipe book. It is a dinner roll dough recipe, but it is easy and I can just throw it in and forget it. I am not really picky about the dough. I think they all taste about the same, personally.

Here it is though just in case anyone is interested:
1 egg plus enough water to make 1 c + 1 tablespoon
3 Tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 t salt
3 1/4 c flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Just mix this up like normal bread and let rise. Punch it down and roll out to a rectangle. I do not spread the dough with butter. I spread it with a little water so the sugar and cinnamon will stick. Then I sprinkle with lots of cinnamon and lots of BROWN sugar. I think they are more delicious this way. Roll and cut and let rise again. Bake for about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

How do you all make cinnamon rolls?

  1. I've used my breadstick dough to make cinnamon rolls before, and it was very yummy! Not that I make them very often. At all.

  2. I like the Cinnabun knock off recipe. It uses brown sugar as well.
