BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
INGREDIENTS
Dough
  • 1 Tablespoon instant yeast (or 2 teaspoons SAF Gold instant yeast made for enriched doughs)
  • 1 cup buttermilk milk, warmed 
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour 
  • 1/2 C potatoes flakes
Filling 
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (coconut sugar)
  • 3 tbsp cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup butter, softened

Choice of icing:
Cream cheese icing
  • 6 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • ⅛ tsp salt
Maple cream cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 C butter, softened
  • 1/4-1/2 C maple sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

or regular drizzle:

    1 cup powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2-3 Tablespoons milk
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Pour warm buttermilk into mixing bowl
  2. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, flour, and yeast to the bowl of a mixer. Using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated.  Knead in stand mixer for about 5 minutes. Dough will be very soft and a little sticky and won’t quite clean the bowl as it kneads.  If mixing by hand add flour slowly,mixing with a sturdy wooden spoon until you can no longer mix it, then transfer to flour covered counter and mix and knead by hand. 
  3. Allow dough to rest 10 minutes.  In a bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon for the filling and set aside.
  4. Roll the dough out on a lightly greased surface, until it is approx 24 inches long by 16 inches wide. 
  5. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. Spread softened butter over dough, leaving a one inch border on one side. Spread the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter on the dough. You may have a little sugar mix left when you are done.
  7. Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom unbuttered edge. Pinch the seam together to seal the roll.  Cut the roll into 12 even slices. You might find it easier if you use a piece of floss vs a knife.
  8. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover them with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let them rise until they double in size.  If you are using reguar instant yeast this may take a while (possibly even a few hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen) so be patient.  The Gold instant yeast is made for enriched, sweet doughs and works much faster.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. 
  10. While the rolls are baking make the icing by mixing all ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  11. When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing while they are still warm.
