Bread Machine Cinnamon Pecan (or Raisin) Rolls
For the dough:
1 cup water
1 large egg
3 ¼ cups bread flour
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dry milk
¼ cup butter
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
Place all ingredients in bread machine in order recommended
my manufacturer. Select Dough Cycle.
For the Filling:
½ cup softened butter, divided
½ cup brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
2/3 cups or either chopped pecans or whole raisins, divided
When dough is completed, place on lightly floured surface and
divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8x9 inch rectangle.
Spread surface of each rectangle with ¼ cup of softened butter. Sprinkle each
piece evenly with ¼ cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/3 cup pecans
or raisins.
Starting with the 8-inch side roll each piece, jelly-roll
style. Pinch seam to seal. With seam side down, cut each roll into 1 inch (or
larger, if desired) slices. Place on greased or parchment paper-lined baking
sheet two inches apart and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise in a warm
place for 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until doubled.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. * Remove cloth and bake for 10 to 15
minutes or until golden brown.
Drizzle warm rolls with the following icing:
Sweet Icing
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
Mix until smooth and drizzle over warm rolls.
*Note: If desired, instead of icing the warm rolls, you may
sprinkle the tops of the rolls with brown sugar before baking.
