Laurie's Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon raisin sweet rolls topped with icing.
Ingredients
milk (warmed)
3/4 cup
egg
1
bread flour
3 cup
granulated sugar
3 tbsp
salt
1/2 tsp
margarine
4 tbsp
active dry yeast
2 tsp
softened margarine (for filling)
1/2 cup
granulated sugar (for filling)
1/3 cup
ground cinnamon
2 tsp
ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp
raisins
1/2 cup
Instructions
1
Make the dough
Use the bread machine set to dough mode, add all first-batch ingredients, and remove the dough. Alternatively, make the dough by hand and let it rise the first time.
2
Knead and rest
Knead the dough for about 1 minute, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
3
Roll out and fill
Roll the dough into a roughly 10x15 inch rectangle. Spread the 1/3 cup margarine over the dough, leaving a 1 inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins evenly over the dough.
4
Roll up and cut
Starting from a long side, roll up the dough tightly and pinch the seam to seal. Using a knife or dental floss, cut into 1 inch thick slices.
5
Second rise
Place the dough slices into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes).
6
Bake
Bake in a 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
7
Decorate
Cool in the pan or on a rack for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with icing made by mixing 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tbsp milk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
