Description

These classic Bechtel cinnamon rolls are the ultimate comfort food, featuring a tender, yeast-raised dough enriched with mashed potatoes for extra softness. The rolls are filled with a generous layer of butter, brown sugar, and aromatic cinnamon, then baked until golden and fluffy. Topped with a simple, sweet vanilla frosting, they offer a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Ideal for cozy weekend breakfasts, holiday mornings, or as a special treat to share with friends and family, these rolls capture the nostalgic warmth of homemade baking. The potato in the dough ensures they stay moist and delicious for days.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, mashed potatoes, egg, salt, yeast, and nonfat dry milk powder. Mix thoroughly until the yeast is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until a thick batter forms.
  3. Gradually add the bread flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough is too stiff to stir and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by hand for 8-10 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and springy.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 18x12 inches.
  7. Spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  9. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  10. Cut the log into 8 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  11. Place the rolls seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  12. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. While baking, make the frosting: Beat together the softened butter, all-purpose flour, confectioner's sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  14. Spread the frosting over the warm rolls immediately after removing them from the oven. Let cool slightly before serving.
