Happy Easter and Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and Passover. I truly hope that you are enjoying some wonderful time with your friends and families.

I found this great recipe thanks to Money Saving Mom that I just had to share with you, plus a couple of tweaks that I needed to make it work for us.

Here is the recipe:

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm milk
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten plus 2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
5 cups flour (Add a bit more if dough seems too wet after first few minutes of kneading in the bread machine.)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Filling (I doubled this since we like our filling, oh yes we do!):
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup brown sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Icing:
1 teaspoon milk
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
4 tablespoons (or less) butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

Put the dough ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed and run on the dough cycle. After the dough cycle is finished, roll the dough into a large rectangle and spread it with 2 Tablespoons melted butter and 2/3 cup brown sugar mixed with 1 Tablespoon cinnamon.

Roll up and cut into 10-15 rolls and place in two greased round cake pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned. Spread the icing on as soon as they come out of the oven.

You can also cover the unbaked rolls with plastic wrap, stick them in the refrigerator overnight, and then bake in the morning.

I found that once I rolled up the dough that if I put it into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to simply harden up the dough to make it easier to cut.

This is also a great recipe for a Once A Month cooking cycle.  You could make this right up to the point of slicing the dough. Simply either freeze it as a whole log or slice it out and freeze from there.
