Clone of a Cinnabon - Cinnful rolls # 2


Recipe tried on 22 Oct 2011.

Lyanne was so excited about these rolls that she broke her plate… She had a teeny weeny taste of it just before I took pictures of it and she came running after them. LOL. Poor thing, luckily the plate didn’t hurt her. I guess I have to get more Corelle plates, and this time, butter plates, perfect for tea time snacks.Lydia who was sick that day also came to the patio to have her rolls……invited by the smell of it. She didn’t have any appetite. Poor girl, at least she ate half a roll.


I don’t remember eating any Cinnabon, so I can’t compare. Don’t ask. Let’s just say these rolls are very very delicious. But it is also sweet. Literally sweet. The indulgent type of sweetness that gives comfort. Come on.. Cinnamon rolls are meant to be sticky, and sweet, if not, where’s the fun? Just don’t consume anymore sweet things that day, let the rolls fill your sugar quota for the day, but it’s a good bargain that you won't regret.


I didn’t reduce any sugar in this recipe and just let things be, I only reduced the cinnamon amount of which became just right. But I think I could add more. The frosting is the killer and let it kill you too. Don’t skip that if you want a shortcut to heaven.



Clone of a Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
Source: All Recipes halved with amount converted to metric weight by Wendyinkk.
Dough
250gm bread flour
125gm fresh milk
50gm sugar
5gm instant yeast
1/2 tsp salt
38gm butter
1 egg

Filling
100gm light brown sugar
3 tsp ground cinnamon (I used half only which is about 1.5 tsp)
38gm butter, softened
1 Tbsp flour (it’s recommended by some reviewers so that the cinnamon sugar stays put)

Frosting
45gm cream cheese
30gm butter
75gm icing sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
small pinch of salt



1. Mix all the ingredients for dough until a dough forms. Knead on speed 4 for 15 minutes or until window pane stage.
2. Cover and let dough proof until double.
3. While dough is proofing, grease a 9 inch square pan.
4. Prepare filling. Melt butter and mix everything else together (it'll become a paste). Set aside
5. Roll dough into a rectangle about 8mm thick.
6. Spread fillings over the dough and roll up.
7. Pinch seams and cut roll into 9 pieces.
8. Arrange them in prepared baking pans. Cover and let them proof for another 30 mins until they look puffy.
9. Preheat oven at 150(fan)/170C for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
10. While rolls are baking, prepare frosting.
11. Place all frosting ingredients into a microwavable bowl and zap on high for 30 seconds. Stir to combine. (or you can just let everything come to room temp and beat together, not necessary to zap, but it’s so much easier to zap) If too runny, chill in fridge while waiting for the rolls to bake and turn warm.
12. Frost warm rolls and serve.



How fluffy these babies are............................................................................. see

    ah Tze,
    It's a good kill then :p


    Angeline,
    Try make some then :)


    Pete,
    Aiya, water enough liao. Coffee also got calorie :) LOL


    katCL and mama,
    Texture wise, this is softer.
    I finished these up the day itself :p
    But by looking at the recipe, it should still be soft within 36 hours, provided it's properly covered.

  23. I dont get bread flour here, will it turn out as well with all purpose flour?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Anusha,
    Then the liquid-flour ratio will not be the same. The texture will indeed be different.
    If you need to use all purpose, please refer to Pecan Sticky Buns of which will be posted after this.

  25. Those buns all look totally D-vineolicious!

  28. Salwa,
    thank you soooo much for your advice to others.
    Glad you enjoyed the recipes as much as i have enjoyed blogging about them.

  29. Would like to try out this for long time but don't have the courage to do so especially have to do with kneading. May i know if using kitchenaid mixer (not the heavy duty type) what speed to use? as in the manual it did mention can only use 2 0r 1 only. and how long need to knead to achieve window pane state?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Vivian,
    As said in instruction no 1.
    It depends on the state of the dough. If the dough has a low water ration, then speed 2, if the dough is soft and sticky then I use 4.
    I have no experience with any other models of KA.

  31. These are so nice. I tried making them, but they didn't turn out fluffy like yours did. Any suggestings why?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Elsa,
    Did the dough 'grow' when you proofed it at step 2?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hi Wendy, i was wondering if i could try out this recipe without eggs. Hope i'll be able to get a reply from you. I noted that the post is way back from 2012. LOL.

    Regards,

  34. Nurul,
    Yes, you may omit the eggs, but add in 2 Tbsp of water if you find the dough too dry.

    ReplyDelete
  35. hi Wendy, i've tried out ur recipes. It turned out to be very good....
    my family loved it alot. i was wondering if i can freeze the cinnamon rolls? do i have to bake them first before freezing?
