Make irresistibly soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls with minimal effort—your bread machine handles the dough, and with a few simple steps you’ll end up with warm, gooey rolls topped in cream cheese icing.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 45°C)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose or bread flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant or bread machine yeast
  • Filling:
  • 1/3 cup softened butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Add warm milk, melted butter, salt, sugar, eggs, flour, and yeast to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
  2. Select the Dough cycle and allow it to mix, knead, and rise (usually 1.5 to 2 hours).
  3. When the cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  4. Roll the dough into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
  5. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough.
  6. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
  8. Slice the log into 10–12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  9. Place the rolls into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan with space between them.
  10. Cover and let rise in a warm place until puffy, about 25–45 minutes.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake the rolls for 20–30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  13. While baking, prepare the icing: beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  14. Let the rolls cool slightly after baking, then spread icing over warm rolls so it melts in.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts or raisins before rolling for extra texture.Use a pinch of nutmeg or cloves in the filling for added depth.Refrigerate shaped rolls overnight and bake the next morning.Freeze unbaked rolls for up to 2 months; thaw and rise before baking.Swap icing for a simple glaze or maple drizzle if preferred.
