Ingredients:
Dough:
- 3 1/2 cups warm water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 6 tablespoons yeast (4 1/2 Saf-Instant)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 10 1/2 cups flour
Cinnamon-Sugar:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Frosting:
- 1 cube butter
- 2 dashes salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- Milk (as needed)
Instructions:
- Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, oil, and yeast. Let it sit for 15 minutes until frothy.
- Add Ingredients: After 15 minutes, add salt, eggs, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix together for 10 minutes until a soft dough forms. Let the dough sit for an additional 10 minutes.
- Prepare Work Surface: Oil your work surface (avoid using flour) and divide the dough into two equal halves.
- Shape Rolls: Take one half of the dough and press it out into a rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Roll Up: Roll the dough tightly, but not too tight, into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls and place them on a greased cookie sheet. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough.
- Let Rise: Allow the rolls to rise for about 15-20 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Prepare Frosting: While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, combine butter, salt, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Gradually add milk until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
- Frost Rolls: Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, generously frost them with the prepared frosting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm cinnamon rolls and watch them disappear in no time. Enjoy the deliciousness with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
Cook Notes and Variations:
- Adding Nuts or Raisins: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or raisins over the cinnamon-sugar mixture before rolling up the dough.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: If you prefer a tangy frosting, swap the butter frosting for a cream cheese frosting. Simply blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Fruit Fillings: Experiment with different fruit fillings such as apple, cherry, or blueberry for a fruity twist on classic cinnamon rolls.
Keto and Low Carb Versions:
For those adhering to a keto or low-carb lifestyle, we’ve devised adaptations of this One Hour Cinnamon Rolls recipe to suit your dietary preferences:
- Keto Version: Substitute the flour with almond flour and coconut flour in equal parts. Replace the sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol or stevia in both the dough and the cinnamon-sugar mixture. For the frosting, use a combination of powdered erythritol and cream cheese sweetened to taste.
- Low Carb Version: Use a combination of almond flour and vital wheat gluten to lower the carb content of the dough. Replace the sugar with a low-carb sweetener such as monk fruit or sucralose. Opt for a cream cheese frosting sweetened with a low-carb sweetener for the topping.
