Until I started digging through my old recipes for this blog, it never occurred to me how many recipes I have for hubby’s sweet tooth! It has been quite an eye opener. Here is yet another favorite. I tried to make cinnamon rolls out of bread dough for years with minimal success. They were always tasty while still warm, but got “tough” when they cooled off. The addition of egg, makes all the difference. This recipe is very good (warm or cold) and it’s made in a bread machine, so it is as easy as it gets.
¼ cup water¼ cup butter, melted(½) of a 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding1 cup warm milk1 egg room temperature1 tablespoon sugar½ teaspoon salt4 cups bread flour1 packet of yeast (I use 1 tablespoon)FILLING¼ cup butter, softened1 cup brown sugar4 teaspoons cinnamon¾ cup chopped pecans or walnutsFROSTING½ of an 8 oz. cream cheese, softened¼ cup butter, softened1 cup powdered sugar1 teaspoon vanilla1 ½ teaspoons milkBREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS: In pan of machine, mix water, melted butter, pudding mix, warm milk, egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, flour and yeast. Set machine on dough cycle and press start. When dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto lightly floured counter and roll 17” x 10”. Spread with soft butter. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon & nuts and sprinkle over dough. Roll dough up (start with long side). Slice into 16 one inch pieces and place in 9x13 buttered pan. Let rise in warm place until double (about an hour). Bake in 350° PREHEATED oven for 15-20 minutes. Take out of pan and frost with cream cheese frosting.NOTE: I don’t own a bread machine, so I do this the old fashioned way and it works great. I don’t cut 16 one inch pieces, John likes thicker rolls, so I cut about 8-10 of them.SEE VIDEO TUTORIAL >>
