Cinnabon: Classic Cinnamon Roll

  1. LIGHTLY mist a large bowl with cooking spray. Set aside 1 tablespoon butter to soften.
  2. In a large microwaveable measuring cup or a medium microwaveable bowl, combine the milk, granulated sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, or until the milk is hot (130u0b0F). Add the yogurt. Whisk until the sugar dissolves (some small lumps of yogurt may be visible). Add the egg and egg white. Whisk to beat well. Add the yeast. Whisk until dissolved.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook(s) or in a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and the salt. Mix or stir by hand with a wooden spoon to blend. Add the milk mixture. Mix on medium power or stir vigorously to blend. The mixture will be very sticky. Add the remaining 2 cups flour, mixing or stirring until absorbed.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface. (A plastic dough scraper or brittle plastic spatula is helpful for getting out all the dough and starting the kneading.) Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add scant amounts of flour as needed. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Place in the reserved bowl. Lightly mist with cooking spray. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and the vanilla. Stir to blend well. Set aside.
  5. When the dough has doubled, gently punch it down and place it on the lightly floured surface. Knead for about 1 minute. Dust lightly with flour. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Lightly mist an 11-inch by 7-inch nonstick baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.nsing your hands or a floured rolling pin, press or roll the dough into an 18-inch by 12-inch rectangle. With a butter knife, evenly spread the softened butter over the dough. Drizzle on the filling. With a knife or spatula, spread it evenly to the edges. Starting at one shorter side, roll the dough, jellyroll fashion, into a tube, ending seam-side down. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Place, spiral-side up, in the reserved dish.
  7. Cover the dish with a damp kitchen towel and place in a warm spot. Let the rolls rise another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, or until very lightly browned but slightly doughy in the center.
  9. With a spatula, transfer one roll to a plate. Using a butter knife, spread 1-1/2 tablespoons of frosting over the top and 1/2" down the sides. Repeat with the other 7 rolls.

Refrigerate overnight and the rolls will rise while you sleep, so you can bake as soon as the oven is warm.nr if you'd like to have the luxury of eating them whenever the mood strikes, consider making a batch or two and freezing them after baking and cooling. (Freeze the frosting separately.) Pack in an airtight plastic container. When you crave one, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake it in a preheated 250u0b0F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is warmed through.nnEVEN BETTER: Make the dough following the recipe directions, but roll the dough out into a larger rectangle about 221/2" x 11". Roll the dough starting with one of the longer ends. You'll end up with a roll that is 221/2" long. Cut into 15 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a 13" x 9" nonstick baking dish. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. You'll have 15 standard-size cinnamon rolls. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the frosting on top of each. Each roll will have 235 calories, 6 g protein, 47 g carbohydrates, 3 g fat, 2 g sat. fat, 1 g fiber. You'll save 578 calories, 29 g fat, 6 g sat. fat.nnBEFORE YOU START: Though this recipe requires a time span of several hours, only part of that is hands-on. They're the perfect lazy-weekend project, especially with kids in the kitchen. Each time you make the recipe, you'll develop more of a "feel" for the yeast dough. Or if you have a bread machine that can handle 2-pound loaves with a sweet-dough setting, prepare the dough in it by adding the ingredients in the manufacturer's suggested order.nnBy Devin Alexander
