GIANT CINNAMON ROLLS



Giant Cinnamon Rolls image

I've tried several cinnamon roll recipes and my husband always asks me to go back to this one. I love taking these to friends and family while they are still warm. They're always well received. It makes a big batch of large cinnamon rolls but they'll be eaten, guaranteed. I top each warm roll generously with frosting but I still usually have some leftover. You might want to reduce the amount you make. Just a suggestion. Note: I just made these last night as I haven't made them in quite awhile. I did a few things a little differently. First, I am getting better at working with bread dough that is very soft. A softer dough produces a lighter roll. Secondly, I baked them in glass pans. Glass pans are the only way to go. The brown sugar filling carmelized and the bottoms and sides of the rolls were a lovely golden brown. Last night, I enjoyed the best cinnamon roll I have EVER tasted. It was the combination of a light but thick roll, carmelized filling, and a warm ooey gooey cream cheese frosting. Be sure to watch the rolls carefully and do not overbake! It might take a few tries to figure out how much time and what temperature works best. PLEASE TRY!

GRANDMA'S YEAST ROLLS



Grandma's Yeast Rolls image

I have adapted these yeast rolls from my grandmother's yeast bread recipe. I have increased the sugar to create a little sweeter roll than Grandma used to make and replaced her refrigerated cake yeast with dried (easier availability). They are delicious served with Danish Lurpak® butter (it's a little tangy, just like Grandma's)! Rolls can be made the night before and reheated, covered in foil, at 300 degrees F for about ten minutes.

Time 2h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup white sugar, divided
1 ¾ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 ½ (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
6 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (such as King Arthur®), or as needed
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup lard, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar into the water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water; let stand 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Once the yeast has foamed, stir the melted lard into the yeast, then stir the yeast mixture into the flour until a sticky dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. You may need to add additional flour to keep the dough from sticking. Once elastic, cover the dough with the mixing bowl, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with lard.
  • Cut the dough into three equal sections, then cut each section into 8 pieces. Form into balls and place into the prepared baking dish in 6 rows of 4. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 1 hour. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before eating.
