Cinnamon Rolls

Print Pin
Servings: 7 -8
Author: Maria

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Butter (14 gms)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1.5 cups Plain Flour
  • 1 1/8 tsp Yeast (refer notes)
  • 1/8 cup Sugar (2 tbsp approx)
  • 1 Egg (lightly beaten)

Filling

  • 1.5 tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 3-4 tbsp Brown Sugar (I used dark brown sugar)

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup Icing sugar
  • 3/4 -1 tbsp Melted Butter
  • 1/8 tsp Vanilla essence
  • 3/4 – 1 tbsp Milk / Water (I used water)

Candied Walnuts

  • 1.5 tbsp Brown sugar
  • A handful of Walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven @ 180 C for 10 mins, before baking.
  • Mix together salt, flour, yeast & sugar. Heat milk, water & butter till the butter melts. Add dry ingredients & beaten egg to the wet ingredients. Mix together to make a dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface & knead it for a few minutes, till you get a smooth dough (without stickiness). Transfer the dough to an oiled vessel & cover it with a cling film. Let it rest till the dough doubles (about 1.5-2 hrs).
  • Combine the brown sugar & cinnamon for the filling. Punch down the risen dough & roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Smear the dough with melted butter. Sprinkle brown sugar & cinnamon mix evenly over the dough. Roll the dough up into a log starting at the long side. Press together the edges to seal it. Depending on the size you want (mini or medium size rolls), cut the dough using a serrated knife. Place the rolls cut side down into a greased baking pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for around 20-25 mins. Meanwhile make the icing by mixing together all ingredients listed under ‘frosting'.
  • Allow the baked rolls to cool for 10 mins & spread the frosting over the baked rolls. Top it with candied walnuts
  • To make candied walnuts, melt the sugar with 1 tsp of water. When it melts, add the chopped walnuts & mix well. Make sure the walnuts are coated with melted sugar. Spread it on al.foil & let it cool. Break it into small pieces.

Notes

The original recipe calls for active dry yeast but I used Instant yeast. You can adjust the qty of brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling to suit your taste. I prefer mini rolls,so cut the rolls into 1 inch size. I got around 15 mini cinnamon rolls from the above qty. I stored the frosted cinnamon rolls @ room temp for 2 days in an airtight container. Microwave the rolls for a few seconds before serving.

  2. Hey Maria,

    If i add the dry ingredients and the egg to the wet mixture that is hot, wont the egg get scrambled?

    Also, is it fine if I use active yeast and follow the recipe as is?? Don’t I have to soak it in water to activate it?

    • Hi Renu,

      I’ve given the measurements & ingredients based on my trials. May be it doesn’t require water, but I havent tried that way. You can always customise it to suit your requirements :)

  20. Hi Maria,

    You made me nostalgic too, with this post. The cinnabon aroma is something that stays with you for life…I miss Bahrain for those reasons… Cinnabon and Hol n One.

    This post just nailed it, never expected to see cinnmon rolls recipe here :) Now i’ve got to try this…. The picture looks like they came out perfect.

    Few questions —
    Did you use a cake mixer?
    do i need to use powdered brown sugar?
    The picture looks like it was taken before the frosting … if i plan to make this without frosting, would it be okay?

    Too many questions i guess…

    Thank you.
    Ida.

    • Thank you so much Ida :) I also was addicted to Hol n One in the beginning, but now I’m controlling myself ;)

      About your queries:

      1. I didint use a cake mixer or any other mixer.
      2. I was referring to the soft brown sugar, which is almost like powdered. I’m not sure how it is if you use brown sugar granules. But in some recipes, I’ve seen them using regular sugar as such, so I guess it should be ok.
      3. Actually the pic is taken after frosting. I didnt use much powdered sugar, so the glace isnt visible in the photo. Though it tastes good even without icing, I suggest you try it with icing for once :)

      Hope I’ve clarified your doubts & dont worry about too many questions :)

      Please do try it & share your feedback. Happy baking!

      Cheers
      Maria

  21. hi maria
    should we mix the dry ingredients (for cinnamon roll) into heated butter milk mixture while it is still on fire.. or should we remove the wet ingredients from fire?
