Cici's Cinnamon Rolls:
- Half portion of Sweet Roll Dough carefully prepared and rolled out to create a base for the delicious cinnamon rolls.
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter melted to perfection, skillfully brushed on the dough to infuse it with a rich and buttery flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the cinnamon rolls.
- ½ tablespoon of milk thoughtfully added to the glaze to create a creamy and smooth consistency, ensuring easy drizzling over the warm rolls.
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon skillfully sprinkled over the dough to infuse the rolls with a warm and aromatic spice note, adding depth to the overall flavor profile.
- 1/16 teaspoon of vanilla extract skillfully incorporated to add a hint of aromatic sweetness, enhancing the flavor of the glaze and adding depth to the overall taste.
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar meticulously chosen for its deep and caramel-like sweetness, creating a luscious filling that melts into the dough.
- ⅓ cup of C&H Sifted Confectioners' Sugar meticulously chosen to create a smooth and sweet glaze that adds a delightful touch of sweetness to the cinnamon rolls.
- ¼ cup of Happy Belly Walnuts chopped to perfection, thoughtfully added to provide a delightful nutty crunch and complement the sweetness of the cinnamon rolls.
- 1/6 tablespoon of heavy cream carefully drizzled over the cinnamon rolls to add moisture and create a luscious glaze, enhancing the overall richness of the dish.
Instructions
- Take a large bowl and combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat milk in an independent bowl until slightly warm while stirring in melted butter and sugar. Gradually add the liquid blend to the dry constituents, stirring with either a spoon or spatula until amalgamated.
- Incorporate the egg for full integration; the dough should be delicate, not gluey.
- Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and position in a warm place for an hour to rise.
- Flour your work surface before transferring the dough onto it.
- Roll out the dough into 12 inches of square shape roughly ¼ inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon.
- Spread the mixture equitably on top of the dough, leaving a ½ inch perimeter around its edges.
- Roll up the log from one end tightly with your hands.
- Utilize a sharp knife to divide the log into 12 uniform portions; settle each portion in a lightly greased 9 inch round cake pan with cut side facing outward.
- Cover the pans with plastic wrap and leave them to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes until increased.
- Turn on the oven to 375°F.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes until it is golden brown in color.
- Whip together cream, confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until creamy yet smooth texture is achieved.
- Spread the frosting on the warm rolls and serve.
Notes
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, add an extra teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the filling.
- To make sure your rolls rise properly, make sure that the dough is not too warm when you roll it out. If it begins to get too sticky, place it in the fridge for 15 minutes before using.
- When rolling out the dough, use a ruler to get an even 12-inch square.
- Be sure to let the rolls rise for at least 30 minutes before baking them. This will ensure that they are fluffy and light.
- Let the rolls cool completely before spreading on the frosting. If you spread it on too soon, it will melt and make a mess!
