Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • 4 tsp Yeast
  • 1 cup Milk lukewarm
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Shortening
  • ½ Egg ⅛ cup
  • ½ cup Cake flour
  • 2 ½ cup Bread flour
  • ¾ tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • cup Butter melted

Crumb Filling

  • ½ cup Brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp ground Cinnamon

Butter Glaze

  • cup Room Temperature Butter plus 3 teaspoons
  • 3 cups Powdered sugar
  • 5 ¼ tbsp Milk
  • 1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Rolls

  • Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk.
  • Combine sugar, salt, shortening and egg in mixing bowl and mix 1 minute at low speed.
  • Add milk and yeast mixture to the sugar, shortening and egg.
  • Mix 1 minute.
  • Add cake and bread flours and nutmeg.
  • Mix only enough for the flour to be incorporated, not more than 5 minutes.
  • Roll dough out to a 15" x 14" rectangle.
  • Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with crumble filling.
  • Starting from the 15-inch side, roll up jellyroll fashion.
  • Place seam side down and cut roll.
  • Slice into 1-inch slices. I used dental floss to cut into pieces. Make sure to watch the video tutorial.
  • Place each roll cut-side down on a greased baking sheet. Btw, I used a ceramic casserole dish.
  • Pat each roll until it is fairly flat.
  • Cover loosely with tin foil.
  • Let dough rise until doubled. I placed the rolls in my oven with it set to bread proofing. Bread proofs at 100°.
  • Bake at 400° for 15 minutes.
  • When partially cooled, brush with Powdered Sugar Glaze.

Powdered Sugar Glaze

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Mix until smooth.
