Servings 18 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch of simple yeast bread loaf (see recipe below) dough equivalent to 1 loaf of bread will give you enough dough for this recipe. If you are following the entire "simple yeast bread loaf" recipe, you need to divide the dough in half. Use on half for cinnamon rolls, the other half use for a loaf of bread or double this batch of cinnamon rolls

"Ooey Gooey" Filling (from BreadBeckers)

  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar or sucanat
  • 1 TB cinnamon
  • 6 TB butter melted

Icing Glaze

  • 2 2/3 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 TB milk more may be needed to get desired consistency

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degree F
  • Make 1 batch of "Simple Yeast Bread Loaf" according to instructions. Divide in half, use one half for the cinnamon rolls.
  • For "ooey gooey" filling - Mix cinnamon and brown sugar together with a whisk. Add melted butter and stir until butter is incorporated into the sugar mixture.
  • Roll dough out into 10x14 rectangle. Dough should be about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Spread "ooey gooey" filling all over dough. Make it as even as possible.
  • Start on the long side of dough, roll up as tight as possible.
  • When completely rolled, pinch seams to seal. Tuck ends under slightly.
  • Cut 1inch off ends and discard, or save them if you like. Once cooked they will just have more bread.
  • Cut roll into 1 inch slices and place in greased 9x13 pan (or cake pans, muffin pans, or whatever you choose). You can cut bigger to make larger cinnamon rolls. One 9x13 will fit 1 dozen rolls. You will probably need another 8x8 pan to fit this entire batch.
  • Once sliced and placed in pan, set in warm place and let rise until double. With instant yeast, this took about 30 minutes. If using active dry yeast, this will take a littler longer.
  • Once doubled, bake in preheated 350 F oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown.

Glaze

  • After baking, make the glaze. Do not make this too far in advance because it will start to harden a bit.
  • Place powdered sugar in bowl and add milk. Mix until it becomes a nice creamy, liquid glaze. If too thick, add more milk.
  • Add glaze to piping bag, or just use a spoon and pour over hot cinnamon rolls.
  • Grab some coffee and ENJOY!

My favorite wheat combinations for cinnamon rolls are as follows:
1) Hard White Wheat
2) Hard Red Wheat and Soft White Wheat. Use 2 cups of soft white wheat flour, and the rest is hard red wheat.
