Cinnamon Rolls! Mmmm Yummy!

If you like taste of cinnamon, you can fall in love with cinnamon rolls. I ate this delicious dessert yesterday for the first time and I can't find true words to express my feelings. Firstly, I have to warn you about its smell. Its smell catches you and enslaves you to buy it. 

Don't mind its simple appearance and do not ever underestimate its taste. It's addictive. When you ate once, you can't help wanting more. 

Ingredients 

Dough:

1 cup warm water, 95 to 110 degrees F

2-1/4 tsp or 1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast

1 cup milk, room temperature

2 med. eggs, lightly beaten

5 Tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 tsp salt

5 Tbsp soft butter

6 cups all-purpose flour, about

Filling:

4 Tbsp granulated sugar

4 Tbsp soft butter

1-1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Icing:

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 Tbsp cold milk

How to do

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices.

Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.

Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.

It may look that it needs lots of ingredients but all of these ingredients are easy to find and simple things to do. Although it is easy to, its taste is beyond the expectations. Also, it’s not difficult to make it at home. You can bake and serve it to your friends or family to make them happy. If you look for more perfect taste, it has three different topping choices. It is served with caramel, white chocolate and dark chocolate topping choices. CARAMEL is my favourite. Its taste becomes heavenly thing with caramel topping. Lastly, if you are too lazy to bake cinnamon rolls, you can buy it from little stores located in shopping malls. It is called Tarchy. They can add ice cream to your cinnamon rolls if you fancy.
