Clone of a cinnabon!!

Who loves cinnamon rolls?
Who thinks cinnamon rolls from cinnabon overpriced?
I do! I do! It is overpriced if you know how to do it. It's the EASIEST thing to bake and VERY VERY cheap.
I got this recipe from www.allrecipes.com and the recipe is marvelous!
What more? You can control the sweetness and the flavour. yummy!




Ingredients :

1 cup milk
2 eggs (room temperature)
1/3 cup margerine (not butter!!!)
4 1/2 cups bread flour ( not multi-purpose flour!!)
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tsp bread yeast
------
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Chocolate chips
1/3 cup butter (softened)
-----
1 package cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt


Method :
  1. Dissolve yeast in milk in a large bowl.
  2. Mix in sugar, margerine, salt and eggs.
  3. Add flour and mix well. Mixture will turn into a dough. Knead dough.
  4. Cover and let prove for one hour outside.( It will double it's size)
  5. Roll out into a rectangular shape. Spread the butter and sprinkle cinnamon,chocolate chips and brown sugar.
  6. Roll and cut. Place in slightly greased pan and let prove until it doubled it's size, takes about 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200C. ( For fan oven, about 180C)
  8. Bake until golden brown about 15minutes. If it browns too fast, cover with aluminium foil and continue baking.
  9. For cream cheese frosting : Beat cream cheese with butter, icing sugar, vanilla and salt. Spread on warm rolls before serving
____________________________________________________________________

As simple as that!

  • You can place unbaked rolls in freezer. Just thaw and bake when you're ready to eat it.
  • If you use butter instead of margerine, cinnamon rolls won't be as soft.It will be rather hard.
  • Serve cinnamon rolls the day you bake it, or the rolls will turn hard.
  • If you dont take cinnamon, you can replace the butter,brown sugar and cinnamon with any jam you like.

That is all, any other suggestion or questions, just leave a comment! Dont have a chat box yet..(i dont know how!! T.T)
