One Hour Cinnamon Rolls

Can this recipe be doubled?

I find that the recipe for this dough is large enough to fill my standard mixer bowl. Unless you have the commercial-size mixer, or you are kneading this recipe by hand, doubling might be challenging.

HOW DO YOU MAKE One Hour Cinnamon Rolls?

1. In a large mixer bowl, combine water, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter & yeast, stir & then allow to sit approx 15 minutes for the yeast to proof. (you know it’s ready when it’s puffed & frothy).
2. Add in eggs, salt & flour & mix together slowly using a dough hook until flour is incorporated.
3. Set on med-low speed & mix/knead 10 minutes.
4. Once mixed, let rest 10 minutes while you make your filling & preheat the oven.

Filling

1. Prepare the filling by combining brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger in a small bowl & mixing with a fork.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees & line a baking sheet with a non-stick mat.
3. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a flat & even layer (approx 12×15).
4. Brush melted butter over dough & then sprinkle filling mixture on top.
5. Roll tightly on the long side & then cut into 12 large rolls (easiest way to make them even is to first cut the log in half & then cut those two pieces in half again & then those 4 pieces into thirds).

Baking

1. Place on the prepared baking sheet & bake for 15-20 minutes.
2. Remove & allow to cool slightly while you mix your icing.
3. Prepare the icing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl & whisking well until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Drizzle over the top of the rolls while they are still warm.

Can I use a sugar substitute?

I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.

Should I use salted or unsalted butter?

This is really a personal preference. If you are happy with just a little salt to cut the sweetness, then use salted butter.

I usually use whatever I have on hand & I really don’t pay too close attention to what butter I have. But I typically keep salted butter on hand & I love that little bit of extra salt with the sweet in this recipe.

These days with groceries being more difficult to find – I basically get whatever the store has available at the time and make it work.
