Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
Description
The dough incorporates milk, egg, melted butter, water, instant vanilla pudding mix, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, combined in a bread machine for convenience and consistent kneading. After the dough cycle, it is gently punched down and rolled out into a 17 by 10-inch rectangle.
The filling consists of softened butter mixed with brown sugar and ground cinnamon, heated briefly to make it easy to spread, then evenly applied to the dough's surface. Chopped walnuts and optional raisins are sprinkled on top before rolling the dough into a tight log starting from the widest end. The log is sliced into 1-inch pieces and arranged cut side down in a greased baking dish. After allowing the rolls to rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled, they bake at 350°F until golden.
The accompanying cream cheese frosting combines butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla, and powdered sugar to provide a smooth, tangy, sweet topping that complements the spiced rolls. Variations are suggested for the filling by swapping raisins with dried cherries or blueberries, offering a fruity twist. A tip recommends using the warm oven method for proofing to ensure proper rising.

Instructions
Cinnamon Roll Instructions
- Place all of the cinnamon roll dough ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
- Set the machine to run the dough cycle.
- When the cycle is finished, remove the dough and knead it enough to punch down.
- Roll out the dough to a 17 X 10-inch rectangle.
- Place butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Heat the filling in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it spreadable.
- Spread the filling over the rolled-out dough with a rubber spatula. Get as close to the edges as possible.
- Sprinkle nuts and/or raisins over the dough, if using.
- Starting with the widest end, roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the edge to seal.
- Cut the log into 1-inch slices.
- Place the slices cut-side down in a lightly greased baking dish with sides.
- Put the dish in a warm draft-free place and allow the dough to rise until double.
- Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Place softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix together with a mixer.
- Add lemon juice, vanilla, and blend well.
- Slowly add in the powdered sugar, beating with a mixer, until all powdered sugar is incorporated.
- Spread the frosting on the cinnamon rolls when they have cooled slightly.
Notes
- Replace raisins with chopped dried cherries, blueberries, or strawberries in the filling for a different fruit flavor.
- To create a warm, draft-free proofing spot, preheat your oven briefly then turn it off before placing the dough inside to rise.
- The dough includes a vanilla pudding mix which adds softness and lightness to the finished rolls.
- After baking, frost the rolls with cream cheese frosting for a tangy-sweet finish that balances the cinnamon-sugar filling.
