You have got to try this Cinnabon recipe. The first time I made these rolls, I thought of how much money I could save by making my own!

Ingredients
  

Dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • cup margarine melted
  • 4 ½ cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons bread machine yeast

Filling:

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • cup butter softened

Icing:

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 3 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare dough: Place milk, eggs, margarine, flour, salt, white sugar, and yeast in the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
  • When dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a 16x21-inch rectangle.
  • Prepare filling: Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over top.
  • Starting at the longer end, roll up the dough; cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • While rolls are baking, prepare icing: Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy.
  • Spread icing on warm rolls before serving.
