Cinnamon rolls..

Cinnabon's Classic Cinnamon roll..

Inspired to make like the one above..and what I got was this...




I tasted the cinnamon roll for the first time in Cinnabon's and immediately after having the first bite I fell in love with it..It was soft,moderately sweet and perfectly coated with the glaze..
I badly wanted to try this at home( I know,this is a daring attempt)..So I browsed for the recipe in the internet and found one easier and which didnt call for the eggs..It wasn't so soft as the Cinnabon's but tasted good..Here it goes..



You will need:
5 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp yeast dissolved in 1 cup of lukewarm water
2 1/4 cup milk(lukewarm)
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1 cup + 2 tsp butter(at room temp)
A pinch of baking soda
1 cup equal amount of brown sugar and white sugar + 2 tsp of white sugar
1 tsp salt
For the glaze
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract



Mix together 3 1/2 cups of flour ,milk,yeast water,salt,baking soda ,2 tsp butter and 2 tsp of white sugar using a wooden spoon.


Add the remaining flour and knead well with you hands until the dough is shiny.Use more flour if required.Add a tsp of oil to prevent sticking in hands..


Knead well for 8 mins and cover with a cloth .Allow to sit for 2 to 3 hours.The dough will be raisen..


Gently punch and let the air out and roll out into 1/2 inch thick circle..



Mix the brown sugar,white sugar ,cinnamon powder and half of the butter.


Apply the remaining butter on to the rolled out dough into a thin layer and spread the cinnamon filling evenly.


Roll them to a log as shown..



Cut them into 1 inch pieces..
Preheat the oven for 250 C and bake for 10-15 mins or until its slightly browned..


Mix the icing sugar,vanilla extract and water to make a thin paste ..

Drizzle them on the baked cinnamon rolls and allow to cool them on rack..



Serve them with a cup of coffee or tea!



I sprinkled some icing sugar on it..It tasted pretty good..The whole home was having the aroma of cinnamon when it was baking...

A close look at it...
