Equipment

  • 1 Bread Machine

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ Cup Butter
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Dry Active Yeast

Filling

  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ Cup Butter (melted)

Frosting

  • 3 Tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Tbsp Milk (or half & half)

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter into a bowl. Add milk and egg to melted butter and mix well.
  • Pour wet ingredients (melted butter, milk, and egg) into the bread machine then add all other dough ingredients.
  • Set bread machine to dough setting and start. Mine takes 1 hr 30 minutes but this may differ by machine
  • Once dough cycle is complete, roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface until it is a rectangle approximately 12" x 18"
    Pro Tip: push the dough into a rectangle shape with your hands. do not cut it into a rectangle and lose dough.
  • Spread melted butter over the entire rectangular piece of dough.
  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Use this mixture to completely cover the melted butter all the way to the edges of the dough.
  • Roll the dough the long way into a log, then cut into 9 equal parts.
    Pro Tip: Start my cutting into 3 equal parts then cutting each of those into 3 more equal parts.
  • Place each piece on its side in a greased 9x9 pan. Let rise for 1 hour.
  • After the rolls have risen, bake in the oven at 350℉ for 40 minutes.
    Pro Tip: If the color is getting too dark too quickly, cover with a piece of aluminum foil.

Frosting

  • Mix melted butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar together.
  • Carefully add in milk (or cream) 1 tablespoon at a time until your frosting reaches the desired consistency.
