Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 egg and 2 egg whites
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons yeast

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup melted or softened butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter; not melted
  • 2 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Dough:

  • Place all the ingredients for the dough inside the bread machine in the order they are listed.
  • Turn the bread machine on to the dough only cycle.
  • After the cycle is completed, remove the dough and place on a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle about 15 inches by 10 inches.
  • Brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the dough using a pastry brush.
  • Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Then spread evenly over the entire surface of the bread dough.

How to Roll the Dough

  • Beginning at the end closest to you, start rolling the dough up into a tight cylinder.
  • Slice the dough into 12 pieces about 1 ½ inches to 2 inches thick. You can also choose to make them smaller if you prefer.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls in a 9X13 baking dish that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

How to Bake the Cinnamon Rolls

  • In the morning, remove the cinnamon rolls from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about an hour. They will puff up even more.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until slightly golden brown.

How to Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer with the paddle attachments, combine together all the ingredients until smooth making sure you scrap down the sides of the bowl.
  • Allow the baked cinnamon rolls to cool for 5 minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top.

Notes

Depending on the type of bread machine you use, the prep time will vary.
