One Rise Cinnamon Rolls - Charlene Fletcher

(Please remember that these only need to raise once so you don’t have to do any yeast proofing ahead of time.)

Rolls:                                                     

3-3½ cups flour                                   
1 pkg yeast                                          
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. salt                                              
1 cup hot tap water                            
2 tbsp butter                                        
1 egg                                                      

Topping:

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
 
Filling:
½ cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
½ cup soft butter

Topping:  Mix in a 9x13 pan (for larger rolls – double recipe and use a jelly roll pan).  Set pan aside.

Filling:  Combine the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.  Make sure the butter is softening so it can be spread on the dough once it is rolled out.

Rolls:  Blend 1½ cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, hot tap water, butter, and egg.  Beat at 3 minutes at medium speed.  Stir in remaining flour.  Knead for 1 minute.  Roll out dough as for cinnamon rolls. Once dough is rolled out, spread with softened butter and sprinkle with the filling.  Roll up and cut into cinnamon rolls.  Place into your pan.  Cover and let rise until double (about 30-45 minutes).  Uncover and bake at 400º for 20-25 minutes.  Turn out of pan while hot.
