CARAMEL/CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. I use my kitchen aid mixer to mix. In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast; mix well. In small saucepan, heat water, milk and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees). (I use a candy therometer) Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in an additonal 3 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from bowl.
• 2. On floured surface, knead in 1 to 2 cups flour until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with platic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
• 3. I mix all the flour in my kitchen aid and don't hand knead at all.
• 4. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough in half. On floured surface roll dough out to 18 X 12 inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 c. butter, sprinkle with 1/2 c. brown sugar, and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Roll up tightly, pressing edges to seal. Cut into 18 slices.
• 5. Use 1/2 of basic roll recipe. For Cinnamon Rolls, place cut side down in greased 9 x 13 pan. Cover and let rise in warm place til light and doubled in size. Bake 25-35 minutes. Mix cinnamon roll glaze and glaze warm rolls.
• 6. Use 1/2 of basic roll recipe. For Caramel Rolls, grease 9 x 13 pan. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. I put this mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, and mix. Pour into pan, and sprinkle with nuts. Place rolls cut side down. Cover and let rise in warm place til light and doubled in size. Bake 25-35 minutes. Cool 1 minute; invert onto cookie sheet or wire rack, be careful, caramel is hot.
• 7. I make these ahead, once rolled out, I put in pans, I cover with aluminum foil and freeze. Take out in plenty of time to raise and bake, usually over night.

Steps:

• Combine butter and vanilla ice cream in a saucepan and melt stirring constantly.
• Add sugars and heat to boiling, over medium high heat stirring constantly with a whisk.
• Bring to a rolling boil while whisking the entire time for two or three minutes.
• Remove saucepan from burner and let sit for 15 minutes or so to cool down.
• Once cooled put this mixture in to the refrigerator for an hour or so to thicken up.
• Spray glass baking dish with nonstick spray and arrange the frozen cinnamon rolls evenly in the dish. If you are using all 12 cinnamon rolls you might want to do six rolls per 9x13" dish.
• Pour cold caramel mixture over the rolls and set in the oven overnight (while the oven is off)
• Store the packet of icing that comes with the rolls in the fridge overnight. You'll use that on top of the rolls once they're cooked in the morning.
• In the morning do not take the rolls out of the oven.
• They will remain in the oven while preheating.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees (Total - this amount of time includes the preheatinuntil browned on top.
• Pour the icing mixture over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

PERFECT HOMEMADE CARAMEL ROLLS

Steps:

• In a measuring cup, mix together warm water, yeast, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Allow to rise for 5-10 minutes while you get started on the rest of the dough.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook pour the warm milk over the butter and to get it melting. Add in the eggs and sugar and mix.
• Once the yeast mixture has grown add it to the bowl of the stand mixer along with the salt and 3-4 cups of flour. Mix with the dough hook.
• Slowly add in the remaining flour until the dough comes together. It should be soft and not overly sticky. Knead for several minutes to bring it together.
• Put the dough in a large bowl coated in oil or cooking spray and let rise for 2-3 hours, or doubled in size.
• Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and allow it to rise for an additional 1-2 hours.
• After punching the dough down, start the caramel sauce. Add brown sugar and butter (plus optional cream) to a sauce pan and melt over low heat. You do not want this to boil!
• Stir the sauce continually until the sugar is completely dissolved. There will be butter remaining on the top of the sugar - do not add more sugar! The caramel sauce will become too thick if extra sugar is added.
• Pour the finished caramel sauce into two 9x13 glass pans. You can use metal pans but I've always had the best luck using glass. Allow the caramel to cool while you continue with the rolls.
• After the second rise, split the dough in half and on a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 6"x12". This doesn't need to be perfect, but you do want the dough to stay about 1/4" inch thick.
• Spread softened butter over the dough. I usually start with a few tablespoons up to half a stick for each half of the dough. You need enough butter for the filling to stick. Spread brown sugar and cinnamon over the butter. I usually use about 1/2-3/4 cup per half of the dough because we like them really full of filling, but you can cut back on this if you'd like.
• Starting at one side, roll the dough evenly and somewhat tight. Not too tight, or they won't have room to expand! You can pinch the end closed, but I never do and don't have an issue.
• Cut the log into even-sized rolls. I start by cutting it in the middle, lining the two sides up side by side, and cutting those in half, then each half into three rolls for a total of 12 rolls. You could cut them thinner if you want more small rolls. I've used both a bench scraper and a pizza cutter for slicing my rolls - both work fine.
• Place the rolls into one pan of caramel then repeat with the second half of dough into the second pan of caramel.
• Let the rolls rise on the counter for 30 minutes while your oven preheats to 350*. Make-ahead directions are below!
• Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are starting to brown.
• Remove from oven and place a large flat cookie sheet on the top of each pan. Very, very carefully flip the pan to invert the rolls on to the cookie sheet. This will allow the rolls to release from the pan and all the caramely goodness to ooze all over the rolls. This may or may not be one of my favorite steps ;) But be careful! That caramel is hot and can burn you.
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape out any lingering caramel. Let cool just long enough to be safe then enjoy! Rolls will last on the counter up to 3 days.
• Follow steps 1-14 above. Once you've put the rolls in the pans, cover and place in the fridge to rise overnight.
• Remove from the fridge and allow to rise on the counter for 30 minutes while the oven preheats to 350*. Continue following steps 16-18 above. Enjoy!

CARAMEL CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm water, sugar and yeast and stir well. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it gets bubbly and activates the yeast.
• Add the melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour, then mix on low using the bread hook for 2 minutes, or until everything is well-mixed.
• Add an additional 3.5 cups of flour, then stir on low to combine. You may need to add up to 1/2 a cup more (you will know you've added enough flour when the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl). Once all of the flour has been added, continue to knead on low for 3 minutes more.
• Turn off the mixer and cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Once the dough has double, turn it out onto a floured surface and form it into a small rectangle with your hands. Then, using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough into an approximately 24" x 12" rectangle (should be about 1/2" thick).
• Using an offset spatula, or knife, carefully spread the 1/2 cup of soft or melted butter evenly onto the rolled dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar evenly over the top, then pat down gently.
• Starting at either 24" side, roll the dough up evenly making sure to get a nice tight tube, then cut into 12 evenly sized slices using a very sharp knife (they should be about 2" each). We recommend using a ruler and pre-marking before you actually make any cuts.
• Lay the slices in a greased 9 x 13" baking pan, cover loosely with a kitchen towel, and let the cinnamon rolls rise for another 30 minutes or until double and touching in the pan.
• While your dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once risen, bake in a preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the bottom and the top are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and pour the warm caramel sauce over the tops while they are still warm. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy!

CARAMEL APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Add milk and butter to a small saucepan and pop on a low heat, to warm the milk and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, remove the milk from the heat.
• If the milk is hot to the touch, leave to cool for a minute or two. You want the milk to be warm but you should be able to stick your finger in there without it burning. Also check that your yeast has reacted and started to bubble a little on the edges.
• To make the dough, add eggs and milk mixture to your sugar and salt. Slowly start to mix together using a dough hook. Add flour (one cup at a time) and cinnamon.
• Then add yeast mixture, water and all, and continue to mix. Mix for another few minutes until a nice soft dough forms*. Once the dough comes together, remove it from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured bench.
• Knead the dough by hand for 2 minutes or so until it is soft and smooth. Add a little flour to the bench if it's a little sticky but not too much as we want the dough to be nice and light.
• Then bring your dough into a ball and place in a large mixing bowl that has been greased well with butter or a little vegetable oil. Cover with cling wrap and leave to rise for at least 1 hour - it should double in size.
• Smear softened butter all over the dough using a butter knife going right to the edges. Combine sugar and cinnamon and generously sprinkle all over the butter. Sprinkle over chopped apple. Finally, spoon over approximately 1/2 of your homemade caramel sauce over the top.
• Roll up your dough, from the long end, then cut into rolls using a serrated knife. Place 6-7 rolls in each pie plate, leaving space between each roll for them to rise. Loosely cover with cling wrap and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Bake rolls for approximately 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Spoon over the rest of the caramel while they're warm. These rolls are best eaten on the day they are made.
