Rock my cinnamon roll~


I fell in love with cinnamon when I was given a cinnamon roll by my friend one day. I can never forget the first bite of that bun. And from that moment, I swear to myself that I have to make one for myself. Now I can do it and thanks for those who are so generous to share their good receipes.

Try once and I am sure you would never regret, especially in a cold winter, a hot cinnamon roll really makes your day!

This receipe 12 rolls

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoon butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg

3 tablespoon softened butter
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup sultana raisins (optional)

Glazing
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh milk

Directions
In saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk, water, and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm. Place milk mixture, salt, flour, yeast, sugar, and eggs in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle. Press Start.

Once Dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and punch down. On a floured surface, roll into a large rectangle. Smear with the softened butter. Combine the cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar. Sprinkle over the rectangle. Generously sprinkle the raisins and/or chopped nuts over the top.

Roll the dough up into a log starting at the long side. Cut into 12 slices. Place the rolls cut side down into a 9x13-inch greased baking pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the confectioners' sugar, 1.5 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla extract, and 1.5 tablespoons milk into a thick frosting; set aside.

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool 10 minutes. Spread frosting over baked rolls and enjoy.
