Those Cinnamon Rolls Becky Makes

Okay, here's the official recipe of Those Cinnamon Rolls Becky Makes. I show my not-so-traditional method that is quicker and less messy.

Remove bread from the bread maker.

Cut the dough in half with a pastry knife, then in half again.

Roll the dough out to 3/4 of an inch thickness.

Using a 2 cutter, cut out circles.  (I used the lid from a Baker's Joy can)

Dip the rounds in melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Layer the rounds on a cookie sheet or in a bundt pan.  I used parchment paper on the bottom of the pan.    Let rise about 30 minutes before baking.

Those Cinnamon Rolls Becky Makes

(Makes 80-100)

2 cups milk

1 cup butter + an additional cup for dipping

2 eggs

½ cup sugar

2 tbsp. yeast

2 tsp. salt

6 cups flour (divided)

In a microwave-safe dish, melt 1 cup of butter.  Add milk sugar and heat until warm and butter is melted. Measure 2 cups of flour and yeast in a mixing bowl.  Add in the milk mixture and eggs.  Mix until well combined.  Add the remainder of the flour.  This makes a really sticky dough.  Pour onto lightly floured counter, and knead until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a butter-greased bowl, turning the dough over to coat with butter.  Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.  Punch down, and divide in 1/2.  Roll out one section of dough at a time to ¼ inch thickness and cut into rounds with a 2” biscuit cutter.  Mix 2 cups of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.  Melt the additional cup of butter.  Dip rounds in butter and then cinnamon and sugar mixture.  Place on ends in Bundt pans or a large cookie sheet (stacked side by side on end).  Let rise 30 minutes.  Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.  Cool in pan, turn onto plate drizzle with a glaze.  For the glaze mix 2 cups of powdered sugar with 1 tsp. vanilla, 2-3 tablespoons melted butter, and enough milk to make a smooth consistency.

Okay, here's my variation: I make this dough in my bread maker.  I put the warmed milk and butter in the pan first.  Next I add the flour, salt, sugar, and eggs on the side.  I make a well into the flour and add the yeast.  I only use two packages of yeast when I use the bread maker.  I set my bread maker to the "dough" setting.  When it starts to mix I stand by the bread maker adding more flour until it starts to form a ball.  Might take up to ½ a cup of flour.  It works perfectly every time and is less messy.  This recipe will make enough for one large cookie sheet.  I make four rows of stacked rolls.
