Hi Bold Bakers. If you've ever had a Cinnabon cinnamon roll,
you will know how good they are. They're kind of iconic here in the United States.
They're this big, lovely fluffy cinnamon roll covered in cream cheese frosting. Well usually you
can only get them at the mall, I'm going to show you how you can make it in your very own home.
So we're going to start out with our wet ingredients. In this jug, pour in your milk
and add in your butter. Then take it away and microwave it
for a few seconds until the butter melts and the milk is warm.
Next whisk in your room temperature eggs.
So those are wet ingredients. Now let's do our dry into my nice big bowl I have some flour,
my sugar, yeast, and salt.
Then just give these ingredients a quick mix together.
So I get a lot of questions about what type of yeast I use, I use instant dried
yeast that can be added straight into the flour, it just makes life really easy.
Okay, so those are dry ingredients. Now all you have to do is add your wet into your dry
and then mix together to form a dough.
I always say when it comes to making bread dough is you want to mix your dough until
it forms a ball and cleans your bowl. So just mixing this by hand, you don't need a machine,
it'll very quickly start to come together.
I can already tell this is going to be a really nice oh just by
feeling it. So now what you want to do is cover it and cling wrap.
Let it get nice and warm and snug in there.
And now what you want to do is proof it for around an hour and a half to two hours it's
going to double in size is going to grow it's going to develop bubbles and flavor
and they're going to come back and roll it
so when your dough is proofed, it's time to roll it out. I'm going to flour my work surface.
A little bit of flour on my rolling pin.
Yeah, this is a lovely dough.
So roll it out nice and long, around 24 inches in length, and around 12 ish inches deep.
You'll see it's nice and thin. But don't worry, because it's going to proof it's going to puff up
we're gonna roll it they're going to be lovely big cinnamon rolls. So here I have some room
temperature butter it's really important that this is room temperature because we need to spread it
on our cinnamon rolls. So go ahead and with a spatula generously spread this over the surface
of your dough. Now as always, the measurements for this recipe can be found on my website
along with hundreds of more recipes. So now for our filling here I have some brown sugar,
and into this we are going to add in some cinnamon.
And then just give that a good mix together.
Going in with your fingers actually might be the easiest way to mix it up.
So now what you want to do is just generously sprinkle this all over the surface of your dough
and allow us to adhere to the butcher.
If you've ever had a Cinnabon cinnamon roll before, you'll
know that they're kind of they're they're really cinnamony so this looks like a lot.
But, we've come this far we've committed to making a big old cinnamon roll so
this is not the time to to be scabby. So now just roll this up like you
would a traditional cinnamon roll go to the longest edge and then just do a tight roll
until you get to the other side
when making cinnamon rolls, you want to keep the roll kind of Tice so it gets a good shape
Okay, so just roll it over on it seem this is going to make a lot of cinnamon rolls.
So I have my ruler here I always need a ruler in the kitchen and we want to measure around
a little over two inches we're going to get 12 rolls at over two inches.
You want these really big just like the way they do them at Cinnabon.
Look how beautiful these are. This is what I love making rolls. Look at that. That's
a big old hefty cinnamon roll. Gorgeous. I'm thrilled with how these turned out.
So place your rolls in a baking pan. three by four
gives them a little bit of space because they're going to prove then cover them up and cling wrap
and a tea towel at them get nice and snug in there and now you want to proof them
Let them get nice and big for around 45 minutes to an hour or so until they puff up. I'm going to
place them over here. And while they're proofing, we're going to make our cream cheese frosting
in a nice big bowl, add your softened cream cheese and softened butter and then with a whisk,
just cream these together until they're nice and smooth. Next, add in your salt, vanilla extract
and powdered sugar and then mix together until it's nice and smooth and there's no lumps.
This looks great. I have to say I think my favorite part of a cinnamon roll is actually
the cream cheese frosting. I'm going to set this over to the side and let's check on how
our cinnamon rolls are proofing. So it's been in and around an hour. These are looking really good.
They're perfect. They're nice and puffy. Now we're going to get them into a nice hot oven.
Baker cinnamon rolls off at 400 degrees Fahrenheit which is 200
degrees Celsius for roughly 18 to 20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
These look fantastic. Check these out.
They're lovely uniform cinnamon roll shaped they smell amazing. They're lightly golden
brown. You don't want them to brown because you still want them to be nice and soft.
These are going to be incredible. When they've cooled slightly now it's time to ice them.
Just like with the traditional Cinnabon roll. You want to be nice and generous with the frosting.
You do want to still do it while your buns are a little bit warm.
So it kind of like just melts on top and finds its own way
these look insane. They are dripping with
warm frosting. hot cinnamon rolls are fresh from the oven.
Look at it. You don't even have to go to the mall
these look like perfection and they're still warm. Which means we have to give them a try.
Come on and Kevin. Jim I have smelled these baking upstairs the whole time. I cannot wait to try
even know where to start. I just went in
and I know I have glaze over my face. But oh my god. Can I say
these might be better than your best ever cinnamon rolls. they are
saying they're so good. They're still warm from the moment. The frosting is all melty on top.
The dough is so soft. I had my share of Cinnabon growing up because I would hang out in the mall.
