This is officially the third time I've used my One Hour Cinnamon Roll Dough on the blog. There was the original, the Cherry Sweet Rolls, and now these. I think these win. These are Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, and they're fabulous. Oh yeah- and they can be made start to finish in an hour. No big whoop.
YES. ONE HOUR. CINNAMON ROLLS IN ONE HOUR, FOLKS!
So today, we changed it up a bit - I added some sticky-sweet pecans to the filling, and doused the entire pan in a maple glaze. The rolls soak up all of that glaze and with a nice big mug of hot coffee - not sure there's anything better.
I should make it known that this makes a LOT of HUGE cinnamon rolls - 24 rolls, to be precise. And they're all about five inches in diameter. So yeah. Big. But really, that's a very good thing because they go quickly. My little family demolished half of them in a matter of minutes, and we wrapped up the rest for breakfast this week.
Actually, I think we're having chili tonight just because we have leftover cinnamon rolls, so they might not make it to breakfast. Since we have a winter storm rolling in - I'm super excited to make a big pot of chili and hang out in my comfy clothes - and what goes better with comfy clothes, a snowstorm and a pot of chili than a warm cinnamon roll?
Nuthin.
These rolls go together in a snap - a large stand mixer will come in very handy, but a big bowl and a wooden spoon work too. The dough is perfectly smooth, and thanks to the SIX TABLESPOONS of yeast, they rise in a snap. They only have to rise once, and just for 20 minutes at that. Try to find a nice warm, draft-free corner of your kitchen and cover them lightly with a tea-towel,and by the time you clean up your mess in the kitchen, the rolls will be ready to go in the oven. While they're baking, whip up your glaze, and in just another 20 minutes or so you'll be stuffing your face with cinnamon rolls.
It's like, impossible not to. Seriously.
Hope you love these, and enjoy!
