THE BEST CINNABON CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE WITH FROSTING WITHOUT CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• A) For the Cinnamon Rolls
• Step 1 - Soak the yeast in the warm water for 10 minutes. This will reactivate the yeast so that it is ready for the bread, creating what is called "a sponge".
• Step 2 - Heat up milk until just about to boil and pour it over the shortening to melt it. Incorporate the dissolved yeast and egg. Add the sugar and salt and combine everything together. Let it cool until lukewarm.
• Step 3 - Add 4 cups of sifted flour one at a time, combining everything after each one. You should now have a dough that is soft but firm enough to handle with your hands. Prepare yourself to knead!
• Step 4 - Flour a board or your tabletop. Try for it not to be marble, as it is too cool for the dough. Knead for about ten minutes, until it is elastic and smooth. We need a soft dough so try and avoid adding too much extra flour.
• Step 5 - Oil up a bowl that is big enough for the dough to rise in. Make a ball with the dough and place it inside. Cover with a tablecloth and let prove for 1 ½ hour.
• Step 6 - On top of a big floured surface, place the risen ball of dough and press down on it. Divide it into pieces if need be, so that you are able to handle it, and roll it out into a rectangle.
• Step 7 - Melt the butter and spread it evenly over the rectangle of dough. Place the brown sugar on top of it.
• Step 8 - Sprinkle cinnamon to the desired amount. If you would like it to have raisins and/or walnuts, this is the moment to put a layer in!
• Step 9 - Time to roll! Roll the dough so that it forms a long cylinder. Cut it using a thread, scissors or sharp knife into 1 ½ inch thick slices.
• Step 10 - Place the slices in a 9 inch greased cake pan. Starting with a slice in the middle, add more slices to the side of it until the pan is covered. Once they are all positioned, cover with a tablecloth again and let rise for another hour.
• Step 11 - In a 350ºF oven, bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. If the top is getting too brown for your liking, you can add a tinfoil cover until they are done in the middle.
• Step 12 - Once out of the oven, tip the pan over a plate so that the rolls come out in one piece. Flip again onto another plate for them to be right side up.

• B) For the Frosting
• Step 1 - In a medium bowl, mix the sugar, butter and vanilla extract.
• Step 2 - Stir in the milk or cream and mix until smooth. If you use cream, the frosting will be thicker. With milk, it will be thinner.
• Step 3 - Cover the rolls with the frosting while still warm. This way, the frosting will melt a bit and run into the rolls, which we love!
