Bread - Cinnamon Rolls (Reinhart) I prefer a leaner dough with some chew or substance and a small to moderate amount of cinnamon in the rolls and a sticky bun caramel. Then various members of my family also require frosting as well! It's a good thing I start with a lean dough. Not my recipe of choice anymore though! Roll the dough out on a wet counter using the dough while it is still quite cold. If it resists rolling too much let it warm up and rest just a bit more as you are rolling it. Handle the dough gently but purposely. Make your rectangle narrow and long. You'll be cutting it into 8 pieces but you want it long enough to allow all the filling to spread thinly enough.
With your hands. spread about: 2 T (1/4 c total for both pans) melted butter and sprinkle with filling. Roll as tightly as you can get it stretching the edges as you get to the end. Pinch to seal the roll. Cut into 8 pieces and put in a lightly buttered 9x13 aluminum pan. Repeat for the other pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate immediately or rise and move to baking. Rising in the refrigerator results in rich tasting dough. Make the frosting: Beat 1/2 c soft unsalted butter 8 oz powdered sugar 1-2 oz milk or sour cream 1 oz cream cheese if you have it, otherwise probably more milk vanilla dash salt Take the cinnamon rolls out of the refrigerator. Leave the plastic wrap on and let them warm up for 1 hour on the counter. Preheat oven to bake 450. (Don't forget to turn it down.) Gently warm the goo and pour over the tops just before baking. Bake at convection roast 350* for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the middle is 190*. Let cool just a bit then invert so the goo doesn't get too thick to get out of the pan. Let cool enough that the dough has time to let off steam and form a strong structure. Rewarm gently if needed to serve. I made this recipe onto 2 baking sheets. It was good but the goo didn't get to the tops of the rolls because of the short sides. Make the dough a few days before you want to use it:
In my Bosch mixer bowl combine- 50 oz white allpurpose flour 1 oz sea salt In 2 qt measuring pitcher combine 1 stick (1/2 c) melted unsalted butter 20 oz lukewarm water (heat on stove) 8 oz milk (heat on stove) 2 oz honey 2 eggs Heat to 95* only then whisk in: 1/2 oz yeast Add the wets into the flour and mix with dough hook 2 minute on speed #1. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Mix 2 minutes on #1. Then mix 4 minutes on #2. Finish with about 30 seconds on #3 until it is stretchy and lightly holds a windowpane. Divide in half (42 oz dough each half) give it a stretch and fold with wet hands until it is a nice supple ball. Give it another stretch and fold after 10 minutes if it is too sticky and not making a nice ball. Then immediately put it to rise in TWO 1 gallon buttered glass jars in the refrigerator. Keep it a couple of days before using to mature the flavor. Mix together the cinnamon sugar filling: 5 oz light brown sugar (washed raw sugar did not work!) 1 t cinnamon 1/8 t sea salt Divide into two bowls (one for each pan of cinnamon rolls) and set aside until you roll out the cinnamon rolls. Make the caramel glaze: Melt: 6 T (3/4 stick) unsalted butter Stir in: 5 oz light brown sugar 2 oz corn syrup - from Trader Joes 4 oz heavy cream big pinch of salt warm and stir until smooth.
