Delicious Slow Cooker Cinnamon Rolls
Description
Delicious Slow Cooker Cinnamon Rolls combine basic bread dough ingredients including warm water, milk, egg, sugar, and yeast, enriched with melted butter. The dough is rolled out and spread with a cinnamon-brown sugar mixture before being rolled and sliced. Placed in the crockpot, the rolls rise until doubled, then cook on high heat, with a mid-cooking rotation for evenness.
The cooking method avoids a conventional oven and uses the crockpot’s low, consistent heat to create soft, tender rolls with a light crumb. The icing made from softened butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and milk adds sweetness and moisture once the rolls are cooked. Paper towels placed under the lid help manage moisture and prevent sogginess.
This method is suited for making cinnamon rolls without an oven, providing a hands-off option for sweet breakfast treats. The rolls can be served warm directly from the crockpot, and the icing can be customized to taste.
Ingredients
For Cinnamon Rolls
- 1/4 cup water warm
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 cup milk warm
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 ounce active dry yeast .25
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For Icing
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Combine water, melted butter, warm milk, egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast. Mix on low speed.
- When all ingredients are mixed well, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 17x10 inch rectangle
- Spread with softened butter. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over dough
- Roll up dough, beginning with long side. Slice into 8 slices and place into crockpot.
- Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- COOKING TIP: Before closing the lid on the crockpot, place 2-3 paper towels in between the lid and the top of it. This will help capture any moisture from dripping on top of your dough and will allow it to cook properly.
- Place on High for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After 45 minutes has passed from initial cooking time, twist crockpot 180 degrees to help ensure even cooking.
- While rolls are "baking", stir together softened butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and milk.
- Remove rolls from oven and allow to cool before you top it with frosting.
