Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Without Yeast Recipes

EASY CINNAMON ROLLS (NO YEAST REQUIRED!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix.
• Using a pastry cutter (or fork and knife if lacking) cut 5 Tablespoons of butter into dry mix
• Add milk and mix until all ingredients are combined.
• Dump dough onto a very well floured surface and roll until it forms a cohesive ball. Continue to flour the surface you are working with as needed.
• Generously sprinkle flour on the top of the ball of dough and place a large piece of wax paper on top. (If dough is too sticky, work in more flour until it is manageable)
• Use a rolling pin to roll dough out to roughly a 10x12" rectangle.
• Remove the wax paper and make your filling by combining brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon and then stirring in butter and vanilla. This will be very much like a paste.
• Spread the filling over the rectangle of dough, leaving about ¼" of space as a perimeter around the filling.
• Carefully roll dough starting with one of the 12" ends and rolling tightly. Press the edge of the roll into the dough so that it sticks.
• Cut the log, spacing your cuts about 1" apart. If the log is not holding its shape well, transfer it to your freezer for about 10 minutes and then try to cut again (it should hold it's shape this way so you will have mostly round cinnamon rolls)
• Place the reserved 2 Tbsp of butter into a 9" pie pan and set it in your preheating oven for a few minutes until the butter has melted. Remove from oven.
• Place your cinnamon rolls in baking dish, they do not need to be touching, they will spread to fill their surrounding area.
• Bake on 375F for 28-30 minutes (beginning to lightly brown around edges). Prepare your icing while the rolls are baking.
• With mixer, combine cream cheese and butter and vanilla.
• Gradually add sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add milk, stirring until combined.
• When cinnamon rolls are finished, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before spreading icing over rolls.
• These cinnamon rolls are nice and soft. Keep in mind that the warmer they are, the harder it will be to separate one from the other. But if you go in for one cinnamon roll and end up with one and a half, it's really not the worst thing that could happen, right?

QUICK CINNAMON ROLLS - NO YEAST

Steps:

• For the filling, in a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
• In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in softened butter (sometimes your hands are the best tools).
• Stir in milk to form a soft dough.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
• Spread the remaining filling on the rolled out dough.
• Roll up the rectangle, with a sharp knife slice into 18 small rolls (12 if you want them a little bigger).
• Bake for 20-25 min at 400°F.
• For glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
• Once rolls are finished, drizzle on glaze and serve warm.

EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS WITHOUT YEAST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the milk and butter. Cook just until the butter is melted. (Alternately, microwave the milk and butter together. See Kelly's Notes.)
• Add the milk mixture to the flour, and using a spatula, mix just until combined.
• Flour your work surface then turn out the dough and knead it for 1 minute until it comes together in a smooth ball. If the dough feels overly sticky, add more flour as needed, but do not over-knead the dough.
• Cover the dough loosely with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish with butter.
• Lightly flour your work surface then roll the dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Brush the dough all over with the melted butter then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
• Beginning at the long end, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Trim off the edges then slice the log into 9 rolls.
• Arrange the rolls in the greased baking dish.
• Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until they are pale golden and baked through. While the rolls are baking, make the frosting.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter. Using a handheld mixer, beat the ingredients until smooth then add the vanilla and beat just until combined.
• Add the confectioners' sugar and beat just until combined.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool completely before frosting and serving.
• The milk and butter must be melted together. Using cold milk causes the melted better to resolidify, which leads to an uneven dough.

EASY NO-YEAST CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
• Make the rolls: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the oil and, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix until incorporated. (It might be a little lumpy. That's OK!) Stir in the buttermilk until just blended. Gather the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 1 minute. Roll out the dough into a 15-by-8-inch rectangle.
• Gently spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ¼-inch border all around. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough into a tight cylinder. Rotate the roll so that the seam is against the work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into eight equal slices. Transfer the rolls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly. (At this point, you can wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day or 2, or freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before proceeding.)
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
• While the rolls bake, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 4 minutes before coating with the glaze. Serve warm.
