One Hour Cinnamon Rolls


 One Hour Cinnamon Rolls

Oh my god, this was scrumptious! I gave them to my family and they absolutely loved them and the rolls were gone in minutes! I absolutely love these, my brother asked me to make more tomorrow.

Oh, how I love my cinnamon rolls! They are so easy and yummy!

I will give step by step instructions, and the complete recipe is at the end.

I also made a video that shows me pressing out the dough and rolling it up so you can see how easy it is! Look for it at the bottom of the post.

Start by putting warm water, sugar, oil, and yeast in your mixer bowl. Mix a little bit, then let it sit for 15 minutes.

Now add salt, eggs, and flour. Put the lid on and mix it for 10 minutes. Turn it off and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast use the fast-acting kind!
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 4-4 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour

For the filling:

  • 1/3 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the frosting:

  • 2 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar


Instructions:


Making the Dough:
  1. In a large liquid measuring cup, stir warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar together to dissolve. Stir and proof 5 minutes.
  2. Into the bowl of a stand mixer, measure out 3 cups of flour, the remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. Once the yeast mixture looks bubbly and frothy, pour into the stand mixer with dry ingredients. Start to stir on low.
  4. Add in the egg and the oil. Scrape edges of the bowl to stir flour in evenly. Knead 5 minutes on low.
  5. If the dough seems a bit sticky, stir in 2 tablespoons of flour at a time until it starts pulling away from the bowl.
  6. {You still want it to be tacky, but not sticky enough to stick to your hands!} Rest dough 5 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.

Filling and Rolling:
  1. Sprinkle counter with flour and roll dough to be about 18x24. Spread with softened butter over dough, being sure to go right to the edges leaving a 1-inch strip untouched on one of the longer sides of dough.
  2. Dump brown sugar and cinnamon mixture onto the middle of the dough and spread with your hands, creating an even layer over top of the butter, still leaving that 1-inch strip of dough untouched.
  3. If you have any filling that falls off the sides of the dough, use a bench scraper to replace it. Lightly press the sugar mixture into the butter using a rolling pin.
  4. Roll the dough up into a tight log, finishing with the plain dough on the bottom to seal the entire thing together. Cut off the uneven ends to even out the log.
  5. Slice your rolls into 1 1/2 inch rounds and place on prepared pan. Bake about 20 minutes or until tops start to brown lightly.

For the Frosting:
  1. While the rolls are baking, whip cream cheese and butter together. Stir in vanilla, corn syrup, and lemon juice. Scrape sides and mix again.
  2. Pour in powdered sugar and stir slowly until it starts to incorporate. Then mix on high for 5 minutes or until frosting starts to lighten in color. Scrape sides and mix again briefly.
  3. Once rolls have been removed from the oven, frost using half the amount made. Then after they have cooled a few more minutes, frost again with the remaining frosting.
  4. The first frosting will melt down into the rolls and the second layer should stay put. Serve warm.

And Enjoy...!
