About this recipe for copycat Cinnabon style cinnamon rolls.

This is a simple recipe for cinnamon flavored breakfast rolls that are made in a baking dish.
To make this recipe you will need yeast rather than baking soda or powder.

There are three parts to this recipe.

The first part is making the dough and filling and then rolling them up to cut into servings.
After the rolls have been placed in a prepared baking dish and baked, we can top them with a homemade frosting.

Ingredients needed to make oven baked cinnamon rolls.

• Butter. Your butter should be softened to room temperature.
• Sugar. Regular granular sugar.
• Eggs. The eggs should be at room temperature for best results.
• Yeast.. Active dry yeast.
• Milk. Warm whole milk works best but, you can use the milk or alternative that suits you best.
• Flour. All purpose flour was used to make my rolls but, bread flour would also work.
• For the center filling- Softened butter, brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
• For the frosting, softened butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar.
• Optional- heavy cream. When poured over the rolls before baking, the heavy cream will make the rolls more moist and tender.

How to make Homemade Oven Baked Cinnamon Rolls.

Yield: 16 rolls

Prep: 1 hr 15 mins
Bake time: 20-25 mins

Step One: prepare.

Prepare your baking dish by greasing it well. Also, prepare a clean workspace to be used for kneading the bread. You can dust the work surface with flour. Also, grease a bowl that can be used for the dough to rise in.

For Step Two: we will make the dough.

1. Start by dissolving the yeast in the warm milk, use a fork to gently stir this.
2. Meanwhile, in a stand mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until almost combined.
3. Scape down the bowl and then add the yeast and milk mixture along with the flour and the eggs. Beat this on medium until smooth (one and a half to two minutes).
4. Transfer the dough on to your prepared work surface and knead until smooth (about five to six minutes).
5. Place the dough into the greased bowl, roll the dough over, and then cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or wrap.
6. Allow the dough to double in size (about an hour).

Next, Step Three: make the rolls.

1. Place a large piece of parchment paper on your clean workspace and then dust the paper with flour.
2. Dividing the dough in half to make the rolls in two batches is an easy way to do this.
3. Roll the first half of dough out to a 9X12" rectangle (12"side facing you).
4. In a medium bowl, combine together the filling ingredients. Then brush the filling over the rectangle to about ½" of the edges.
5. Roll the dough towards you using the 12" side opposite from you.
6. Use your floss or twine to cut the roll into eight slices.
7. Place the sliced pieces into the prepared baking dish and repeat this process with the remaining dough.
8. Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
   Let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about an hour).

Step Four: Finish making the rolls.

1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Bake the rolls until they turn golden brown (20-25 minutes).
3. Allow the rolls to cool before combining the frosting ingredients and frosting the buns.

Expert Tip 👉Go heavy on spreading out the frosting to make this more like an actual Cinnabon style roll. You can warm up additional frosting to pour over the sides of the rolls when serving.
