Ingredients
Cinnamon Roll Dough
- 1 box of Duncan Hines white or yellow cake mix
- 2 packages of dry yeast approx 4 1/2 tsp
- 2 1/4 cups of warm water
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 5 cups flour
Filling
- 1 1/2 cups Gingersnap crumbs you will most likely need to buy gingersnaps and run them through your food processor
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups brown sugar you can use white sugar as well
- Cinnamon - go with as little or as much as you would like
- 1/2-1 cup butter softened
Frosting
- 1 can Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Frosting Starter
- 1 packet Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Gingerbread Flavor Mix
Instructions
- 1. Mix yeast and warm water until dissolved.
- 2. Combine cake mix, salt, ginger & flour in a large bowl.
- 3. Add warm water/yeast mixture and molasses to cake mix, salt, ginger and flour mixture. Mix well. This will most likely require kneading/mixing with your hands a bit to completely combine ingredients.
- 4. Cover tightly. Let rise for one hour. Punch down and let rise again for another 30-60 minutes.
- 5. On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle shape, approx 1/4? thick.
- 6. Once dough is rolled out, brush with softened butter. I found that about 1/2 a stick was adequate for this recipe, but you could use more (or less) if desired.
- 7. Sprinkle with crushed ginger snaps, followed by brown (or white) sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon – use as little or as much as you like.
- 8. Starting at end opposite from you, roll the dough towards you until all dough is rolled into one long piece.
- 9. Slice dough into 24 equal sized pieces.
- 10. Place rolls in two greased 9×13 pans. Cover and let rise until doubled in size. I usually sit my rolls on my stove top while my oven preheats to 350 degrees. This allows them time to rise and provides a bit of warmth from the oven warming.
- 11. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown. My rolls took approx 22 minutes. This will depend on your stove and your preference for how brown you like your cinnamon rolls.
- 12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- 13. Prepare your Frosting Creations Gingerbread frosting. If you prefer your frosting to melt into your rolls, frost after rolls have cooled for about 5-10 minutes. If you prefer your frosting to stay on top of your rolls, wait until rolls have cooled until frosting. If desired top with sprinkles and enjoy!
Notes
- Frosting Creations has been discontinued since this post was written in 2012. You can frost with a standard cream cheese frosting or add a touch of cinnamon and ginger to any vanilla frosting recipe.
