We often mix up a quick version of cinnabuns using a biscuit type dough. With summer here and more leisure time we've been enjoying genuine yeast raised cinnabuns. I use the buttery rolls recipe off of my Cheat Sheet, increasing the sugar to half a cup and using three teaspoons of yeast. I let the dough mix up in my Zo set to the quick dough cycle and it's ready in half an hour. Then we roll the dough out into a rectangle. Spread with half a stick of softened butter and sprinkle with half a cup of good cinnamon sugar.
Roll it up!
Slice it up! I find it's best to use a large serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion. Place the buns on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let them rise in a warm place for about half an hour.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for approximately 13-15 minutes.
A thick powdered sugar icing (1 1/2 cups sugar and a few spoons of milk) is optional (ha!).
Well, thanks alot, as if I really NEEDED a reason to make these ;-) Yummo, looks like breakfast is set for us tomorrow!!
