Fresh Breakfast Treat

There’s really nothing like biting in to a warm, sweet, soft cinnamon bun in the morning. While cinnamon buns aren’t the healthiest breakfast, making them  yourself is definitely way better than buying them in a certain unnamed chain restaurant! —

These are definitely on the time-consuming side of things, but well worth it in the end. I also like to make the dough the night before, and then form and bake the buns in the morning.

This recipe makes about 25 buns, and if you can’t eat them all, find your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors quickly! These really peak the first day they’re made, so make sure to share them soon. The only problem is, they’ll keep coming back for more!


Cinnamon Buns – makes about 25

Buns:
2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 package active dry yeast
4 cups and 1/2 cup flour, separated
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tablespoon salt

1/2 stick melted butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
Cinnamon

Glaze:
2 to 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Heat the milk until just lukewarm to warm. Mix with the oil and sugar.
Sprinkle in the yeast, and let sit for a minute, until a few bubbles
form.
Add in the 4 cups of flour, and mix to combine. (You could also use a bread hook on a stand mixer.)
Cover and let rise for an hour at room temperature.

Add in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix to combine.
At this point, you can either let the dough rise another hour before
making the rolls, or stick the dough in the fridge overnight.

Grease 3 9-inch round pans. Roll the dough out in to a long, thin, rectangle.
Brush the dough with the melted butter until covered.
Sprinkle the sugar evenly on top, then sprinkle the dough generously
with ground cinnamon. Roll the dough up in to a long, tight roll. Slice
the roll into 3/4″-1″ slices and place in to the prepared pans.
Let rise for 20 to 30 minutes. Bake the rolls at 375 F for 15 to 18 minutes until just turning golden brown. 

While the buns are baking, mix together 2 cups of sugar and the
remaining ingredients for the glaze. Whisk well until smooth. Add in
the remaining 1/2 cup to thicken if necessary.
After the rolls have cooled for 5 minutes, pour the glaze over them, making sure to coat them completely. Enjoy!
