Sarah's Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

By Addie

Sent in by Sarah N. from her bread machine cookbook. Sarah says that she makes these rolls every Sunday morning. She programs her breasd machine the night before so that the dough will be ready in the morning. Personally, I would NOT do that since I do not believe in leaving milk and raw eggs out all night.

Ingredients

• Rolls:
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 3 1/3 cups bread flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast or 1-1/2 teaspoons bread machine/ rapid rise yeast
• .......................................
• Filling:
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Add ingredients to bread machine as recommended by manufacturer. Program maker for the dough cycle. When cycle is done, place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest 15 minutes. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15 x 10 inches. Spread 1/4 cup melted butter over dough to within 1 inch of edges, Then sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped nuts evenly over dough. Roll dough up tightly on long side. Press edges to seal and form into a 12-inch long, evenly shaped roll. With a knife or 8 inch long piece of dental floss, cut roll into 1 inch pieces. Place rolls cut side down into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft free place until double in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack for 10 to 15 minutes, then drizzle with powdered sugar icing made by combining 1 cup powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Blend until smooth. If too thin or too thick, add more powdered sugar or milk, respectively, until desired consistency is reached. Cut apart and remove from pan.

They were a bit tough, but I liked them. The next day I threw them in the microwave, covered with a bit of moist paper towel covering them, and they were chewier and softer.
