Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

Everyone loves these when I make them. They are unbelievably easy to make.


I put a few roasted pecans on them. You never know if people want them, like them, or are allergic to them, so I just put them on a few of the rolls.

This recipe requires a bread machine. You could make the dough in a mixer, too.

Ingredients:

For the rolls:

• 3/4 cup water (plus more)
• 2 T butter (unsalted), softened
• 2 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 t salt
• 1 t yeast

For the filling:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 t ground cinnamon
• 2 T butter (unsalted), softened

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 t vanilla
• 2 T milk (or more)
• Roasted pecans (optional)

1. Place the roll ingredients into your bread machine and process on the dough cycle. You might have to add a bit more water to make the dough.

2. When the dough is finished, roll it out on a floured surface into a 9" x 9" square.

3. Mix the sugar and cinnamon filling ingredients together. Spread the butter over the dough (I used a brush). Sprinkle with all of the filling.

4. Roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut into 1" slices and place into a 9" x 9" greased pan.

5. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in fridge overnight or let rise for 1 hour on the counter.

6. Preheat oven to 375 F. Remove the wrap from the pan and bake about 20 minutes or until golden.

7. Mix the glaze ingredients together. You might need to add more milk. You don't want the glaze to be too thick, but just thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over rolls (and add roasted nuts if desired) and serve immediately.
