The Best bread machine cinnamon roll recipe

I’ve been making bread machine cinnamon rolls for years, and they’re still a staple in our household. My kids love helping me mix the dough and spread the cinnamon sugar on top.

It’s a great way to spend quality time together, and the end result is always delicious. The bread machine makes the process so much easier, and I can have freshly baked rolls in no time.

Plus, they’re perfect for breakfast or as a snack any time of day. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is just right, and the texture is soft and fluffy.

I’ve tried different recipes over the years, but this one remains my favorite. It’s a classic recipe that never goes out of style.

The aroma of cinnamon and sugar wafting from the oven is irresistible, and everyone in the house knows when those rolls are baking. It’s a tradition that brings us all together, and I’m so glad I can share it with you today.

🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 cup warm milk (110°F)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)

For the Filling

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk

👨‍🍳Directions

1Add the dough ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer, typically liquids first then dry ingredients, with the yeast on top.
2Select the dough cycle and press start; this will knead and rise the dough for about 1 hour 30 minutes.
3When the dough cycle finishes, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
4Roll it into a 12×18 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
5Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border on one long edge.
6In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture over the butter, pressing it gently into the butter.
7Starting from the long edge with the filling, tightly roll the dough into a log.
8Pinch the seam to seal, then cut the log into 12 equal slices, about 1 1/2 inches thick each.
9Place the rolls cut side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
10Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
11Preheat your oven to 350°F.
12Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are golden brown on top and the center rolls feel set when lightly touched.
13Remove from the oven and let cool in the dish for 10 minutes.
14While the rolls cool, make the glaze: beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
15Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat in enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency.
16Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
