Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls - HOMEMADE!

Photobucket

I tried a new recipe today that my friend, Laura posted on her recipe blog and it was DIVINE (according to the partakers. I was STRONG and didn't have one... I know, call me crazy!) Thanks so much for this amazing recipe! I hope it's okay that I share it here on this blog, Laura. It's too good to keep to myself. For the complete recipe, click here.


I used my breadmaker for the dough, but she gives instructions on how to do it with your KitchenAid as well. It was a time consuming process, but while watching Conference, it was perfect.


Enjoy and share with your neighbors!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup warm milk
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (I used 8oz. Oops.)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
2. After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
