Homemade Cinnamon Rolls from the Bread Machine

I have posted my typical cinnamon roll recipe on this site in the past along with a photo, just to make your mouth water, LOL. However, I've been intrigued by the recipes that use a pudding mix in the dough and not just in the filling. I found this recipe and liked that it used a bread machine to knead the dough as well as using the vanilla pudding in the dough.

Frosted Cinnamon Rolls


1 cup warm milk (just above room temperature)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour bread
1/4 cup instant pudding mix vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yeast


1/4 cup butter softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla


In the bread machine pan, place first nine ingredients in order suggested by the manufacturer of your machine and select dough setting. When dough is completed, turn dough onto lightly floured surface.

Roll into a 17 in x 10 in rectangle. Spread with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon that have been mixed. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 1 inch sliced. Place rolls cut side down in a greased jelly roll pan or use two pans if you don't have a large jelly roll sized. Cover and let rise inn a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes and frost with the icing above.
