Cinnamon bun dough

Submitted by simplysweetcdn on April 26, 2009 - 2:34pm

Hi there, I am new to the forums and also new to bread baking. I have decided that I can not tolerate buy chemical bread for my kids anymore. Anyway, I have had alot of success making regular loafs of bread using either my bosch machine or my kitchenaid., However, twice I have tried to make cinnamon buns and everytime I role out the dough the dang stuff just keeps shrinking back in on me!! Any Ideas what I could be doing wrong or what I could be doing different. Thanks a heap

cinnamon rolls

Hi --

I'm not sure what recipe you're using, but I heartily recommend this one.

It's Alton Brown's Overnight Cinnamon Rolls and they're out-of-this-world.

Whatever recipe you use, though, you want to make sure you let your dough rest before trying to roll it out. That should loosen up the gluten enough to make it workable.

Happy baking!

Let dough rest

If your dough is pulling back when you roll it, allow it to rest for about 5-10 minutes and then try again.

Cinnamon Bun Dough

Hi ---

My wife and I have found a cinnamon roll recipe that we dearly love and make all too regularly. It is a clone of Cinnabons, and even better than the originals. The recipe can be found at http://www.gordonfamily.com/Recipes/cinnabon.htm. The only changes that I have made are to use real butter only, rather than the margarine called for in the recipe, double the cream cheese in the icing, and eliminate the lemon flavoring in the icing. The dough itself is amazing, and very easy to work with.

15 of those luscious beauties are now sitting on the kitchen counter calling to me. Gotta go!!

Cut 'n paste or click again

then delete the period at the end. The ".htm." is messing things up. If you click, wait for you to tell you there's no such page and then delete the period at the end of the URL in the address bar it works fine.
