🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 cup warm milk (110°F)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

For the Filling

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

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Add the dough ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order listed: warm milk, beaten egg, melted butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
2Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start.
3The cycle will mix, knead, and rise the dough for about 1 hour 30 minutes.
4When the dough cycle finishes, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
5Roll it into a 12×18 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
6Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
7In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture over the butter, covering the entire surface.
8Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
9Pinch the seam to seal.
10Cut the log into 12 equal slices, each about 1 1/2 inches wide.
11Place the slices cut side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, spacing them evenly.
12Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the buns rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
13Preheat the oven to 350°F.
14Remove the plastic wrap and bake the buns for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top and the center buns spring back when lightly touched.
15Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
16While the buns cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
17Drizzle the glaze over the warm buns and serve immediately.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Bread Maker Cinnamon Buns
