Cinnabon Rolls or cinnamon rolls (simple version without icing)
Cinnabon Rolls - Delicious Cinnamon Rolls Without Icing If you're looking for a simple and quick recipe to impress family or friends, Cinnabon rolls are the perfect choice! This aromatic dessert, with a soft dough filled with a delicious combination of sugar and cinnamon, is easy to make and will fill your home with an irresistible aroma. Preparation time: 1 hour Baking time: 12 minutes Total: 1 hour and 12 minutes Servings: 12 rolls Ingredients for the dough: - 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of dry yeast - 1 cup of warm milk (about 40-45°C) - 1/2 cup of sugar - 80 g of soft butter - 1 teaspoon of salt - 2 eggs - 4 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour Ingredients for the filling: - 1 cup of brown sugar (or white, to taste) - 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon (we recommend Makara cinnamon for an intense flavor) - 80 g of soft butter (or margarine) Ingredients for the icing (optional): - 90 g of butter - 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar - 90 g of cream cheese (like Philadelphia) - Caramel sauce (for serving) - Pecans (or walnuts, for extra crunch) Instructions: 1. Activating the yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Add sugar, soft butter, eggs, salt, and mix well. Then, gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until you obtain a smooth dough. 2. Kneading the dough: On a work surface, sprinkle a little flour and turn out the dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and slightly sticky, but not sticking to your hands. If it's too sticky, you can add a little flour, but be careful not to overdo it. 3. Rising the dough: Grease the dough with a little oil and place it in a covered bowl, letting it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour). 4. Shaping the rolls: After the dough has risen, sprinkle flour on the table again and roll it out into a rectangular sheet about 54 cm long and 40 cm wide, with a thickness of just over 0.5 cm. Spread the surface with butter and evenly sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture. 5. Rolling and cutting: Roll the dough lengthwise, forming a tight log. Use a piece of thread (or a sharp knife) to cut the log into pieces of 4-5 cm. This cutting method helps maintain the shape of the rolls. 6. Rising the rolls: Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them. Let them rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 200°C. 7. Baking: Bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and fluffy. 8. Preparing the icing: While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing melted butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese with a mixer until you get a light and fluffy cream. 9. Serving: Once the rolls are baked, take them out of the oven and generously cover them with warm icing. It will melt and soak into each piece. Serve warm, with a drizzle of caramel on top and sprinkle crushed nuts for added texture. Suggestions and variations: - If you want to explore new flavors, replace the filling with nuts and plum jam, as I did, to add a fruity and crunchy taste. - You can experiment with different types of sugar (e.g., coconut sugar) to give a distinct note to the dessert. - If you prefer a healthier version, you can use whole wheat flour or a mix of white and whole wheat flour. This quick and simple dessert will surely become a family favorite. Enjoy every bite and savor the sweet moment it brings to your life!
