Ingredients
- 1 cup milk, warm
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 4.5 teaspoons yeast 2 packages, regular or fast-acting dry
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 TBSP butter room temperature
- 1 egg large
Filling
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter 1/2 stick, room temperature
- 1/2 cup raisins optional
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans optional
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Combine milk and sugar. Add yeast and let proof for about 7-8 minutes, until yeast is bubbling. Add remaining dough ingredients, save 1 cup of flour. Begin mixing, adding the last cup of flour slowly. You'll want the dough to be slightly sticky. Knead dough for 5-6 minutes, until it's smooth and springy.
- Spray a large bowl with the cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place about 1 hour 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
- To make cinnamon roll filling, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins or nuts. Set aside.
- Spray the bottom and sides of a large jelly roll pan with the cooking spray.
- Sprinkle flour lightly on a counter top or large cutting board. Punch dough to deflate it. Roll dough into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Brush 1/4 cup butter over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Beginning with the long side, roll dough up tightly. Pinch edge of dough into the roll to seal edge. Using a sharp serrated knife or length of dental floss, cut roll into 1.5-2 inch slices. Place slices slightly apart in the pan. Let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth. Pour glaze over the tops of cinnamon rolls, allowing it to cover the rolls and drip down the sides.
