Description

No-knead cinnamon rolls are easy since your bread machine does all the mixing. That leaves you with the fun stuff: rolling, assembling, baking, and eating!

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons softened butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/3 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 T milk
1/4 t vanilla

Directions

1 Make the cinnamon rolls: In a saucepan, heat milk, water, and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm. Pour mixture into a bread machine.
2 Add flour, 1/4 cup sugar, egg, salt, and yeast to the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Run Dough cycle.
3 Once Dough cycle is complete, remove dough from the bread machine and punch down. Roll into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Smear with softened butter.
4 Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
5 Sprinkle sugar mixture over dough, then generously sprinkle with raisins and walnuts. Starting at the long edge, roll dough into a log, then cut into 12 equal pieces. Place rolls, cut-side down, into the prepared baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
6 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
7 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
8 While the rolls are cooling, make the frosting: Mix confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl until thick.
9 Spread frosting over warm rolls.
