Cinnabons using Bread Machine
Dough:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup water
1/2 pkg. instant vanilla pudding (1/2 of a 3.4 oz. box)
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
4 cup bread flour
2 1/2 tsp. yeast
Filling:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Icing:
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. milk
Place ingredients in machine following the specifications of that particular machine. Set for dough cycle.
After complete on dough cycle, remove from machine and roll out to 17x10" (approx.) rectangle. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread softened butter over dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture* over top. Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled.
Slice rolled dough into 1/2" slices (or large if a larger bun is preferred). Place into greased cake pans or a cookie sheet. If using cake pans, use 3 9" pans. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Do not over bake. Spread on icing very warm rolls. They are best when eaten fresh, but we have found that 10-15 seconds in the microwave rejuvenates them.
Note: You may add chopped nuts with the filling, and use twice the amount of cinnamon.
