Recipe(tried): Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls and Dak Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

Hi Scott, Here's one for regular ones and bread machine ones. I haven't tried the bread machine kind though.

GRANDMA'S CINNAMON ROLLS
Bet you can't eat just one!

FOR THE FILLING:
4 tbsp yeast (I use fast-rise yeast)
3/4 cup sugar, divided use
1 cup warm water (104 degrees F)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp salt
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup Crisco shortening
5 egg yolks
2 1/2 cups hot water (120 degrees F)
10 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
FOR THE FILLING:
Melted butter
1 cup sugar mixed with 1 tbsp cinnamon
Icing (recipe follows)

Dissolve yeast and 1/4 cup sugar in 1 cup warm water. Set aside until foamy.

Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, salt, evaporated milk, Crisco and egg yolks in a large bowl until well blended. Add the 2 1/2 cups hot water and mix. Add 4 cups of the flour and mix well. Add the yeast mixture and blend well. Add remaining 6 1/2 cups flour one at a time - you should have a nice, elastic dough that is just barely sticky to the touch. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Knead 50 times then shape into two long loaves. Let rest 10 minutes.

Roll loaves into rectangles 1/2-inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Moisten the upper edge of the dough with water then roll from bottom to top and pinch to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 2-inch rolls. Place side by side in a greased 10x14-inch baking pan. Cover lightly with a dish towel and allow to rise until doubled in bulk (15 minutes for fast-rise yeast).

Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 30 minutes or more until golden on top. Allow to cool in pan.

Drizzle icing over top and wait for the compliments!

ICING:
About 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tsp Mapline or 1 tsp vanilla and enough milk or cream to make a drizzle.

BREAD MACHINE CINNAMON ROLLS
This recipe is from my DAK Bread Machine Cookbook.

FOR THE DOUGH:
1 package yeast
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 plus 2/3 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 eggs, room temperature
3 tbsp sugar

FOR THE FILLING:
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins, soaked in water to plump, drained
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

FOR THE ICING:
Melted butter (for brushing tops)
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp corn syrup
Juice of 1 orange or lemon

Select the Manual setting on your bread machine. Add dough ingredients in the order listed or according to your bread machine instructions. Process on dough cycle.

Roll dough out on a floured board to a large thin rectangle, 22x14-inches. Brush the dough with melted butter.

Combine filling ingredients. Sprinkle dough with the mixture. Roll jelly roll fashion, starting with long edge. Seal edges, slice into 10-20 rolls. Place cut side down onto baking sheet, or put in a greased sugared baking dish. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size about 45 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes. Set the pan of roll on a rack to cool.

To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar and corn syrup with enough juice for the right consistency.

Brush the cooled rolls with melted butter. Drizzle with icing. Enjoy!
