Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

If you are a fan of sweets, you probably enjoy cinnamon rolls. And sure, it’s easy to buy that cinnamon roll tube from the store — and so satisfying to pop it open! But why not try making at home? These bread machine cinnamon rolls are simple to make and so very delicious.

How to make bread machine cinnamon rolls

1. Mix your dough

To mix your dough, add water, butter, bread flour, granulated sugar, salt, and bread machine yeast into your bread machine. Here are your measurements:

• ¾ cup warm water + 2 tablespoons
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon bread machine yeast

With your ingredients in play, start the dough cycle on your bread machine.

2. Roll the dough

When the dough is complete, roll it out with a rolling pin on a floured surface into a 9” square.

Next, spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter on the dough. Make the cinnamon sugar mix from 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon — and sprinkle that on top of the butter.

Roll up the dough tightly. Cut the dough into 1-inch slices and place them, cut side down, on a lightly greased baking dish.

3. Rise the dough

Cover the baking dish loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

4. Bake

Remove plastic wrap and bake your bread machine cinnamon rolls in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

5. Glaze

While the rolls are baking, mix your glaze. Combine these ingredients in a bowl, until smooth:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons milk

Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the glaze over them while they’re hot. Serve and enjoy!
