Packed Cinnamon Filling

Packed Cinnamon Filling

Ingredients:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons (1/ stick) unsalted butter, softened

Directions:
2
Frosting
8 tablespoons (1/ stick) unsalted butter, softened
2
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/ teaspoon vanilla extract
2
1/ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2
11/ cups powdered sugar
2
1 tablespoon milk
1. To make the dough, follow the instructions for your bread machine on the
“dough” setting. Add the water, milk, egg, butter, granulated sugar, salt, flour,
pudding mix, and yeast, in the order listed, to the machine and process the
ingredients.
2. Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough out to a rectangle
approximately 18 by 30 inches.
3. To make the filling and assemble, whisk together the brown sugar and
cinnamon. Spread the softened butter over the dough, making sure it is soft
enough to be spread evenly. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the
butter.
4. Starting with one of the long ends, roll the dough up into a log. Using regular
sewing thread, cut pieces off the log at 21/ -inch intervals by slipping the thread
2
under the log as it lies on the work surface, then pulling the two ends of the thread
together so that it cuts through the dough. You should have 12 rolls.
5. Grease two 9 by 9-inch baking pans and place the rolls 2 inches apart. Cover
each pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise until almost doubled in
size, about 1 hour. The edges of the rolls should stick to one another and the sides
of the pans.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
7. Bake the rolls in the hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
8. While the rolls are baking, make the frosting. Cream the butter and cream
cheese until well blended. Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon.
9. Stir in 1/ cup of the powdered sugar and blend it in well. Continue to add the
2
remaining 1 cup sugar in 1/ -cup intervals.
