Homemade Cinnabon Recipe

You know that mouth watering cinnamon Cinnabon smell that fills the air of the mall? Anytime I walk by the Cinnabon store I want to get one! I am happy to say that my house has that smell.This is my version of "Cinnabon" cinnamon rolls. So good! They really do turn out like the "real" ones! Here it is!

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 4 1/2 cups bread flour ( I've used all purpose too and it come out great)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter, mostly melted but not too warm (add all together to create filling)
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened ( I like more like 4-5 oz so it's not too sweet)
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
2. After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with the 1/3-1/2 cup butter and sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls with floss. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375-400 degrees. Depending on how hot your oven gets.
4. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
5. Always eat them warm!!
