Yeast Bread Recipe ‹ Johnson Family Cinnamon Rolls

This is my mom's recipe for cinnamon rolls. As a kid there were many functions I was invited to with the clear understanding that I would have my mom send some of these along with me.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
• 3 ½ tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened

Cooking Directions

1. Place the water, oil, dry milk powder, 3 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Run the machine on the Dough cycle. At the end of the cycle, remove the dough and place it on a floured work surface.
2. Mix 1/3 cup of sugar with the cinnamon in a bowl, and set aside. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
3. Roll the dough out into a 10x15 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle evenly with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Roll up the dough from the long side into a tight roll. Cut the roll into 12 slices about 3/4 inch thick and place the slices into the prepared baking pan with the rolls barely touching each other. Cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 30 to 60 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the tops of the rolls are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
