These easy Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls are perfectly soft and fluffy, generously slathered with a vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. I can't get enough of this recipe, reminds me of Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.
When I moved to Australia, there wasn't a Cinnabon here, they probably make the tastiest cinnamon buns in the world! This recipe is my homage to Cinnabon, creating my Cinnabon copycat recipe, using a bread machine.
How to make Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
The easiest part of this easy cinnamon rolls recipe is making the yeast dough. Many people are scared to make yeast dough as it seems complicated, and needs time to rise. Don't be scared of yeast dough any more! Using a break machine's dough cycle makes it so easy. Just throw all the ingredients in, press the dough cycle and your yeast dough is ready in 90 minutes.
When the dough comes out of the bread maker, it will be sticky. Place it on a floured surface, just don't knead it to death, it needs to be fluffy but not sticky. Roll it out, slather in melted butter and cover with the cinnamon sugar mix.
Sweet Yeast Dough
Not everyone has a bread machine to make dough, but you can still make this tasty recipe. I have an easy sweet Master Yeast Dough recipe that works perfectly with this recipe. Just prepare the dough as per instructions from the link (or video) and follow along for the rest of the cinnamon roll recipe.
Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese Frosting
Of course, you have to use cream cheese frosting for your homemade cinnamon rolls. This is not a recipe for you if you are on a diet! You need lots of cream cheese, butter, icing sugar and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla).
This frosting recipe makes a very generous serve of cream cheese. I hate going to Cinnabon, and they give you a small stingy portion of frosting, forcing you to pay for a bigger size. Maybe I just hate paying for things that don't cost much money to make, so I'm extra generous at home.
You could use half of the cream cheese frosting recipe if you don't like a lot of frosting on your homemade cinnamon rolls. I love lots of cream cheese frosting on the cinnamon bun, and like to add more with each bite. I think you can never have enough!
