Gimme Some, Some, Some of that Cinnabon...

I have no idea why, but I've had a craving for Cinnabon. There are no Cinnabons located anywhere close to our neck of the woods so I did some research online and found a recipe that is pretty close. Next time (and I will not lie about the fact that there will be a next time) I will cook them a little less. I baked them for 20 minutes and they should have been cooked for only about 16-17 minutes. The result was delicious and easy cinnamon rolls with a gooey center. Everyone loved them. Have a look:

I first started by using my stand mixer to knead the dough. I love my stand mixer it makes all of my baking tasks much easier.


Once the dough had been kneaded it had to rise for an hour. After an hour passed I rolled the dough out into a large rectangle.


Butter in the dough, butter in the icing and a slathering of butter inside of the rolls.


Once the rectangle of dough was slathered with butter, I generously sprinkled it with brown sugar and cinnamon.


The rectangle was then rolled into a long roll.


The roll was then cut into 16 1" pieces and then placed into a baking pan to rise again for a second time.


While the rolls were rising I made the icing.


Here are the rolls after they were allowed to rise for a half an hour.


After the cinnamon rolls came out of the oven they were ready to be anointed with gooey icing.


Here are the cinnamon rolls after receiving their first slathering of icing. Make no mistake, of course they were covered with a second coat of sugary goodness.


I recommend trying this recipe, the result is sinfully delicious and gooey cinnamon pleasure.
