Cinnamon Rolls

The aroma, warmth, and sweet stickiness of cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven is the first thing that I want to wake up to in the morning. What I love about these luscious rolls is that the bread machine does more than half of the work. Homemade cinnamon rolls are the best.

Ingredients:
The Dough
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
3 tbs sugar
2 tbs soft butter
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast
The Glaze
3 tbs melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup brown sugar
The Filling
1 tbs melted butter or margarine
1 tbs sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbs brown sugar

Directions:
Place dough ingredients in bread pan of bread machine. Select dough setting and press start.
When the dough has risen long enough, the machine will make a sound. Stop the machine and remove dough from the bread pan and place onto a floured countertop.

Pour the melted butter for the glaze into a 9" x 13" x 2" rectangular baking pan and sprinkle with brown sugar.
With a rolling pin, roll dough into a 9" x 18" rectangle.
Combine the filling ingredients and spread onto the dough.

Starting with the long edge, roll up dough. Pinch seam and ends to seal. With a knife, lightly mark roll into 1 1/2 inch section.

Then use a sharp knife to cut dough into 12 pieces. Place each piece cut side up in the prepared baking pan.

Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for 40 minutes or until doubled in size.

Bake in preheated oven set to 350° for 25 or 30 minutes..
