Yet again, blogless-Laura has shared another great recipe with me. Laura Emailed me the link to this cinnamon roll recipe a few months ago, but I was slack to try it. What was I waiting for? They were delish! And I have long wanted to try The Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls, but her recipe makes a huge amount and the time commitment seemed a little daunting. My solution? Laura's rolls with PW's icing. The combination was fantastic!
Rolls:
1 1/4 C warm water
1/3 c oil
1/4 C sugar
2 1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast
1 tsp sat
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
3 1/4 C flour
1/4 C melted butter
1 Tblsp cinnamon
1/2 sugar
Combine water, oil, sugar, and yeast. Let rise for 15 minutes until bubbly. Add salt baking powder, baking soda, and egg. Mix well. Add flour one cup at a time until well incorporated. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise approx 15-20 minutes.
Roll dough into a large rectangle approximately 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Brush liberally with melted butter and evenly sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Starting with one long edge, gradually roll up entire dough into a long log. Cut rolls approximately 1-inch thick using a serrated knife. Place in greased baking pans and allow to rise. Once risen, bake at 425' for 15 minutes until just lightly golden.
Icing:
2 C icing sugar
2 tsp maple syrup (Thank you to The Bells for my stash!)
1/4 C milk
2 Tblsp melted butter
1/4 C brewed coffee
Pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over (or drown) warm (but not hot) cinnamon rolls. You may wish to add the coffee and milk gradually to get your desired consistency.
I'm glad you liked the rolls! I'll have to try them with PW's icing, it sounds good!
