Sunday Cinnamon Rolls

 \

Bread has been working well for me lately & this is my latest project.

I found the recipe I liked at Epicurean Escapism and modified it just a little.

Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls * now with flour!

Ingredients:

for the dough:

• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  
• 1 1⁄4 tsp baking powder
• 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
• 3⁄4 tsp. salt
• 1 1⁄4 cup buttermilk
• 6 tbsp melted butter

For the filling:

• 2 1/2 tbsp. melted butter
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tbsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
  

For the glaze: (i don't always follow this exactly. sometimes i add cinnamon to this as well. also, i make enough to cover the rolls & the extras)

• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
  

1. Preheat oven to 425°F

2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt to form the dough.

3. Stir in the butter and buttermilk.

4. Mix well. The dough will be thick and gooey, so at this point I usually knead it right in the mixing bowl to incorporate all the ingredients and little dry morsels, before placing on the floured surface of my counter.

5. With floured hands, gently knead the flour into the dough until smooth.6. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a square of approximately 1⁄2 inch thick.7. Spread the surface of the dough with 2 tbsp melted butter, then sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar.

8.Go to the edge of the dough with the filling as much as possible, then trim off the edges of the dough so that you have a perfect square & the cinnamon filling is right at the edge of the dough. set the extras aside.

9. Gently roll the dough into a log shape with the filling inside. Trim off the ends if they're not even. Then slice off about 2 inches thick

10. Place the rolls in a lightly greased pan, and bake for about 20mins, or until the edges have turned golden brown.

10. Pour prepared glaze onto the rolls while they’re warm, but have cooled for just a few minutes.

After I've removed them from the oven, I roll the extra dough in a separate dish & bake and glaze those as well as I don't like to waste anything.

sorry! i totally forgot to add the flour when i originally posted this! blogger has a new interface i was fighting with & got totally distracted.
