No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

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.

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 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.
