Craving warm, gooey cinnamon rolls but short on time? This recipe delivers! With a quick-rising dough, you can have these homemade treats ready in just 90 minutes.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup softened margarine
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup softened margarine
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins (Optional)
Instructions
- Warm Up the Milk: Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it’s just warm to the touch or forms a few bubbles around the edge. Take it off the heat and stir in the softened margarine until melted. Set this mixture aside.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups of flour, white sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the milk mixture, water, and egg to the dry ingredients. Beat well to combine.
- Knead the Dough: Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, ½ cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Let the Dough Rest: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: While the dough rests, whip up the filling by mixing brown sugar, softened margarine, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Preheat and Grease: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- Roll and Fill: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12×9-inch rectangle. Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with raisins (if using).
- Shape and Rise: Roll up the dough tightly and pinch the seam to seal. Cut the dough into 12 equal rolls. Place them cut-side up in the prepared muffin pan. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Bake and Enjoy! Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
