Cinnamon Rolls

Written by

So Friday afternoon I did an experiment. I love creating in the kitchen and I am so grateful to now, most of the time, feel up to it again. I am out of my first trimester this week and moving on to better times. Anyway, I have been wanting to find a way to have the convinience of the refrigerated cinnamon rolls without the cost of those premade ones at the store. So, here is what I tried. I mixed up a batch of dough (Recipe to Follow) and let it rise once. After the first rise I rolled it out, brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and brown sugar. Added a few raisins on top and rolles it up! Then sliced it into about 1 1/2 inch sections and placed in a greased 9X13 pan that had a tight fitting lid. As soon as the pan was full it went into the fridge. The next morning I pulled it out and set it on the counter for an hour. Then I baked in a 350 degree oven until golden brown. Once they were cooled slightly I iced with cream cheese icing. They were a huge hit!!!! Here is what they looked like

My husband said that these were the best cinnamon rolls that I have ever made. And they were really good if I do say so myself!!
Dough Recipe
2 Eggs with enough water to make 1 1/3 cups (needs to be warm)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar (or honey)
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 cups flour (I use white and wheat)
2 1/2 tsp yeast
Mix all and knead thoroughly. Let rise one hour or until doubled. I place all of this in the order listed into my bread maker set on the dough cycle and let the machine do the work for me.
