Description

Vanilla pudding mix in the yeast dough gives a sweet, distinctive taste to these bread machine rolls oozing with butter laced with brown sugar and cinnamon. A vanilla-tinged glaze tops them off perfectly.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
4 tablespoons water
1 egg, beaten
4 cups bread flour
1/2 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Place milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter, water, beaten egg, bread flour, pudding mix, sugar, salt, and yeast in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle.
2 Remove dough from machine after the cycle is done; knead 3 to 5 minutes. Roll out to a large rectangle. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
3 Combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, and cinnamon in a bowl; spread over dough. Sprinkle walnuts and raisins over top.
4 Roll dough into a log, starting with the widest end; pinch to seal seams. Cut into 1/2- to 1-inch slices; place in the prepared baking pan. Place in a draft-free space; let rise until doubled in volume.
5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
7 Meanwhile, combine confectioners’ sugar, 4 tablespoons softened butter, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl; spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
