Gaston's cinnamon rolls

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Melt the 1/2 cup of butter with the milk. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Grab your mixer and add 2 1/2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt and mix. Then add water and eggs, as well as the warm butter/milk mixture from earlier and mix really well.
  • For the dough: Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough starts to form a ball, it’s ready.
  • Trade out your mixing blade for dough hook (or knead by hand if you’re a super hero). Mix with the hook for 5 minutes.
  • Grab the dough out of your bowl, sprinkle some flour in the bowl, and plop the dough back in the same bowl to rise for 10 minutes.
  • For the filling: Put the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter into a bowl and mix well.
  • Roll out the dough into a long rectangle. You want it to be much longer than it is wide to achieve the giant size.
  • Spread the filling evenly across the whole surface.
  • Starting at a short end, roll the dough like a jellyroll.
  • Make a cut in the very center of the long roll, and then two cuts about 6 inches from the center on either side.
  • Place both the rolls, swirl down, in a greased 9×13 pan.
  • Don’t waste the remaining dough. Cut the rest of the dough into normal size rolls and put them in another pan to cook afterwards.
  • Melt 1/4 cup of butter and drizzle over your dough. Allow your rolls to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375F. Bake for 20 minutes. Then cover loosely with foil and bake another 10 minutes.
  • While the rolls are baking, get your toppings ready.
  • In a saucepan, add your cream cheese and 1/4 cup of butter and melt.
  • Then add the powdered sugar and stir. Once incorporated, add the vanilla and salt and put aside.
  • In a saucepan, add the brown sugar, butter and cream. Bring to a boil and maintain for 5 minutes sitting frequently. Remove from heat.
  • Add the salt and vanilla. Put aside.
  • Drizzle copious amount of cream cheese frosting in one directions, then drizzle with butterscotch in the other direction.

Enjoy!

  1. Instructions read: “Don’t waste the remaining dough. Cut the rest of the dough into normal size rolls and put them in another pan to cook afterwards”…what remaining dough? These directions apparently make 4 large cinnamon rolls (Make a cut in the very center of the long roll, and then two cuts about 6 inches from the center on either side= total of 3 cuts–half, and then each half cut once more = makes 4 rolls?) So, how many rolls does this recipe actually make?
