Ingredients
- 1/2 c warm milk (110 degrees f/45 degrees c)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 2/3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 1/4 c flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 c white sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast
- FILLING:
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1 1/4 Tbsp cinnamon
- 2 2/3 tbsp butter, softened
- (makes 6 rolls- or 1 lb dough - original recipe is doubled but not 100%sure that will fit in our breadmaker?)
Directions
-
1 DOUGH:
-
Place ingredients in bread pan in order they are listed. Select the dough cycle.
-
2 Once the bread machine had done the work, turn dough out onto a floured surface. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
-
3 Meanwhile, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together, cover; set aside.
-
4 Once dough has rested for 10 minutes, roll out into a 16 × 21-inch rectangle (half this size if using recipe for just 6 rolls, not 12) Spread dough evenly with softened butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
-
5 Roll dough up (starting with long edge) tightly; slice (using sharp knife) into rolls. Place rolls into a lightly greased baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled (about 30 minutes).
-
NOTE: You can cover and put in refrigerator over night. They will rise in the refrigerator and this will take a lot of prep time off the next morning. IF baking the next day, take rolls out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking.
-
6 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes (I did 23 but they weren’t quite soft enough- could have gone for less). After 15 minutes when rolls had lightly browned, I tented with a piece of foil to keep from over browning. Immediately turn rolls out onto a plate and then invert onto another plate to be rightside up after baking. Spread with frosting if desired.
