Classic Cinnamon Rolls



Prep Time: 30 minutes
Proof Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Bake Time: 25 to 30 minutes

Rolls:

1 cup mashed potatoes from 2 medium potatoes

1 cup reserved potato water

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 cup hot water

2 envelopes Fleischmann’s® Active Dry Yeast

1/2 cup warm water (100° to 110°F)

2 eggs

8-1/2 to 9 1/2 cups flour

Filling:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1-1/2 tablespoons Tone’s® or Spice Islands® Ground Cinnamon

Icing:

3 cups powdered sugar

6 tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon Tone’s® or Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract

5 to 6 tablespoons milk

 



Directions

Combine potatoes, potato water, butter, sugar, salt and hot water in large mixer bowl.  Stir until butter melts; set aside and let cool.  Combine yeast and 1/2 cup warm water in small bowl.  Add eggs, 2 cups flour and yeast mixture to potato mixture.  Continue adding flour, 1 cup at a time until soft dough forms. 

 

Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 4 to 6 minutes), OR knead with electric mixer using dough hook.   Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat.  Cover and let rise in a warm, draft free place about 1 hour, until doubled.

 

Punch dough down; divide in half.  Roll one portion of dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12 x 18-inch rectangle.  Spread with half the butter.  Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half of the mixture over surface.    Roll up tightly, sealing edges.  Cut into 12 slices.  Place in greased 13 x 9-inch pan. 

Repeat with remaining dough.  Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.

 

Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes.  Cool for 15 minutes.  Combine icing ingredients and drizzle over rolls.
