All Time Best Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 oz. active dry yeast
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- ¼ cup Luke-Warm water – about 110 degrees
- 1 cup milk 2% or whole
- â…“ cup vanilla pudding mix instant
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup butter melted – unsalted
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3-3&1/2 cups all purpose flour
Filling
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter melted – unsalted
Frosting
- 1&1/2 cups confectioners sugar
- ½ cup butter softened unsalted
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. water
Instructions
- Using a large bowl, completely dissolve the yeast in the water
- In a separate, smaller bowl, mix the milk and pudding together for 1 minute and let stand for one more minute, or until it has thickened up
- Now, add the egg, melted butter, salt, and 2 cups of the flour
- Mix all of that together until it’s smooth, then add more of the flour until it’s a soft dough
- Using a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is nice and smooth
- Grease a large bowl – I dipped a paper towel in some butter and rubbed it around the bowl
- Place the dough into the bowl, and flip it around so the top has grease on it
- Let that rise, covered, in a warm place for about 1 hour – or until it has doubled
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar together
- Place a piece of wax paper on a rolling surface, and spread a little flour out
- Punch the dough down, and place it onto the floured surface
- Spread the dough out and sprinkle some more flour on top
- Place another sheet of wax paper on top of that
- Roll the dough between the wax papers until it’s about 9″x12″
- Pull the top sheet of wax paper off
- Spread the 1/4 cup of melted butter over the dough
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top
- Roll the dough up like a jelly roll – starting on a long side
- Pinch ends together
- Cut the roll into 12 slices
- Place the sliced pieces into a greased 9x13in. pan
- Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes – more waiting
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes
- Mix all of the frosting ingredients together in a small bowl
- Spread over the warm rolls
