Copy Of A CINNABON Cinnamon Roll
You Will need to gather your ingredients first before starting this recipe. You must follow the recipe step by step in order to achieve the true cinnabon flavor.
1 CUP WARM MILK
2 EGGS
1/3 CUP BUTTER
4 1/2 CUPS FLOUR
1/2 TEASPOON SALT
2/3 CUPS OFÂ SUGAR
2 1/2 TEASPOONS QUICK RISINGÂ YEAST
_________________________________________________________________________
1 CUP BROWN SUGAR
2 1/2 TABLESPOONS OF FRESH GRATED CINNAMON
1/4 CUP OF BUTTER
_________________________________________________________________________
3 OUNCES CREAM CHEESE
1 1/2 CUPS OF CONFECTIONER SUGAR
1/4 CUP BUTTER
1/2 TEASPOON OF VANILLA
1/8 TEASPOON OF SALT
Gather these ingredients and set them aside to start your dough recipe first.
MIXING:
PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREE'S
Take your 1 cup of milk warmed to about 100 degrees and disolve the packet of yeast, mix well into the milk making sure there are no clumps in the bottom of the bowl or on the spoon.
In a large bowl mix together the flour,sugar,salt, butter and eggs. Mix well and then knead the dough until well mixed and doesnt stick to your hands. Knead this into a large ball, Using your hands lightly dusted with flour place into a bowl with a drop of oil in the bottom of the bowl and cover in a warm location to allow to double in size. Once the dough has risen for about an hour you will remove it from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface to roll out. Take your rolling pin and roll the dough out in the shape of a rectangle. Let this rest for approx. 10 minutes. While this is resting take the cinnamon that you have grated and combine in a bowl with the brownsugar and mix in well. Once you have done this, And your dough has rested take some butter and coat the dough with enough butter to make it even and slowly sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mix all over the dough. Once you have done this you will want to roll the dough up and seal it with a little bit of water on a paint brush to allow the seam to stick during the baking process. After you have done this cut the roll into 1/2 inch sections and place on a baking sheet and allow to rise again until doubled again in size. About another 30 minutes should be enough time.
Baking:
Finally the last step in this recipe is the baking and the frosting of the cinnamon buns. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until golden brown about 15 minutes, While rolls are baking, Beat together the cream cheese and butter with the confectioner sugar and vanilla and salt. You will want to spread the frosting on the cinnamon buns as soon as they have cooled but just for a few minutes as the best time to add the frosting is while they are still warm and will disolve the frosting allowing it to soak into the cinnamon bun

you forgot to mention that the milk/yeast mixture goes with the flour mixture =_=;;;
How many servings or rolls can be made with the quantity of ingredients you specified in the recipe?
I'd have to say for a copy of a Cinnabon they need to be waaaay bigger than 1/2 inch sections more like 1.5 to 2 inches, also you normally dont want to mix the yeast up that much it makes it not rise as well. And last I sprinkled a little more brown sugar and cinnamon on top after they rose so it gave it that little extra ooey gooeyness like cinnabon
They are a great copy! Will definately make again, without adding the yeast to the milk, just place in the mix! I made about 20.
i have made them 4 times in my bread maker on the dough siting.add the yeast to the milk let sit. but i double the brown sugar and the buter .i went to the mall and watched them make CINNABON . thay spread the buter 1/2 cup on the dough and a lots of brown sugar cinnamn double ,besides that good Recipe. thanks
i love cinnabon.. does anyone know the real chocobon recipe?
Hi! Loved the recipe and didn't have any trouble with the dough rising! This has been my favorite homemade cinnamon roll ever. The frosting is excellent!
the recipe sounded great, but the results were a bit disappointing. I wouldn't use instant yeast again-I'd stick with traditional. the dough didn't rise much at all. it certainly never doubled in size.
for the glaze, I would double the cream cheese, and half the icing sugar. and cut out the vanilla. and I would advise people to cook the buns higher up in the oven than they cook other things. mine were burned on the bottom before they were "golden" on the top.
Try to warm the milk until your finger can tolerate the heat; then you add the yeast, once disolved put it in the dough, cover it and leave it in a really warm place like the top of the stove. You'll see the dough doble the size
If you are having trouble getting the yeast dissolved, you can dissolve the yeast into 1/4 cup of warm water first then add the milk. Add some of the sugar to the water and yeast mixture, the sugar gives the yeast something to eat and will proof faster.
This recipe seems pretty close (I used to make everything in HUGE quantities) but there are a few things that dont fit.
Cinnabon uses margarine all the time (you can tell the difference) throw a bit of high quality cinnamon and vanilla in the dough and add some lemon extract into the frosting.
They rise the dough in the fridge for min 4 hours and then roll it out as quickly as possible. once its rolled, 1/2 stick of room temp margarine is spread evenly (except for 1/2-1 inch of the bottom side.
spread cinnamon mixture and start to roll, from the middle out. the dough should not need to be moistened to keep seam closed.
once its rolled let it sit on top of the seam for about two mins. measure out 2inch sections and cut with a really really SHARP knife. if you use a dull knife your going to ruin the rolls.
Set them into a pan, leaving a good inch of space between each roll and let them rise again in a warm warm place. (the bakery uses a proofer which is just a cabinet keeping it a humid 25 degrees and has it sit in there for 1hour.)
you want the insides of the rolls to peak before you bake em and you want all of the sides to be touching(or at least most of them)
Good luck!
Ummmm, when I baked them, they were hard as rock!! But that's probably because i did it wrong.. :( oooppps....
my sister made them and they rocked!!!
I've been using this recipe (with X-cinnabon manager's tips) and it comes out perfect!
EPPPPIC
This was great! I added my own flare to it, but good foundation.
I've made it twice with this recipe! Nothing is wrong, just need to pay attention and no rush :) You will see this recipe is awesome! I ? to eat it every morning! And now I'm craving with the chocolate flavour, anyone have the recipe? ;)
I am a huge Cinnabon fan and I made this without the eggs as I don't recall eggs being in the dough. Maybe so /maybe not. But to do that, you'll have to increase the milk. I too have watched them roll it out and butter the face up rectangle before adding the cinnamon mixture. The trick of the rising is making sure the yeast is active before adding any dry ingredients. Let the dissolved yeast rest with the sugar and get foamy before adding flour. Give the yeast plenty of time to rise in an oven with the oven light on. The heat from the oven light bulb does a good job of creating a draft free very warm environment.
great recipe,but,l am wondering if sugars can be replaced with splenda for diabetics or weight watchers?
Can sugar be substituted with canderal or equisweet for diabetics??
You should be able to substitute. I would recommend looking up the chart that would tell you how much to substitute. I dont know anything about the substitution changes as I dont have that concern. Thanks.
Splenda can be substituted my friend is a diabetic and I made her these rolls but used splenda for all the sugar. Even made splenda powdered sugar from a receipe I found online. She loved them.
I just made this recipe, and what can I say...JUST AMAZING!!!
I loved your cinnabons but found I needed more details how to make them. Since I am a new baker it would have helped. One thing was how big should the rectangle be? It was so big that I had to make more for the center. I would make it again.
This recipe was great. I followed the recipe with the following recommendations. Warm milk+yeast, all Margarine, placed dough in oven four an hour to rise. ....I don't bake that often
So they were a little over baked. But the taste was all cinnabon

I've tried this recipe and my dough wouldn't rise. My mother said it is because I have desolved the Instant Yeast in warm milk. The heat probably killed the raising. I'm gonna try again today withou desolving it.
