Copy Cat Cinnabon recipe...😆

[Breadhead]

For me... a Cinnabon cinnamon roll is a guilty pleasure. I resist buying them because they cause all of my belts to shrink.😡

I stumbled upon this recipe today and I'm thinking the baker in me MUST try this just to see if they are even close to the best Cinnabon roll ever created.

You might want to give it a try too.😎

Thank you for posting Breadhead . I'm all over this recipe.

[Breadhead]

Me too.😘 I love a really good cinnamon roll with my morning coffee.😎

[Craigar]

Oh yeah, with a little pat of butter. I just gained 3 pounds thinking about it.

A properly done cinnamon roll, gooey on the inside, moist everywhere, is the dessert equivalent of a properly cooked brisket in my book.

[Breadhead]

Agreed!👍

Getting off track here a little bit, but one of the "traditions" in these parts is cinnamon rolls with your chili. I'm not sure where it started, but crapaterias all over the state have perpetuated this culinary delight along with the Runza Restaurants. Don't knock it until you try it. I finally was able to get the wifey to try it a couple of weeks ago and now she's hooked. I forgave her for not ever hearing about this pairing and for never wanting to try it since she grew up in Omaha. I think it is more of an "outstate" thing.

[Breadhead]

Hmmm... that pairing has not migrated to California... yet.

[Mr. Bones]

I have had that combo many times here, but more at feeds, or meals at friends... not seen it commercially.

I heartily agree, it is an awesome match of deliciousness!

I don't know, I gotta go with chili and cornbread.

One team made a candied pork belly cinnamon roll for the chef's choice category of the BBQ contest I entered last month. His dough didn't properly proof so his entry did not do well, but he said that the recipe is to die for when done right.

How can you go wrong Qifying a cinnamon bun?

I suspect this recipe will produce great buns - it's very similar to the recipe on King Arthur Flour that I use. It can also be used to make sticky buns. Just make the sticky topping in the pan before placing the uncooked buns on top.

Hmmm... the King Arthur dough is a higher hydration percentage than this one. I've not tried either but the thing that makes Cinnabon's different is they are NOT soft and mushy like most cinnamon rolls. The dough they use is a 50% hydration dough that makes it more dense, which gives a different mouth feel.

Cinnabon's real hook is the quality of their cinnamon. They use a Vietnamese cinnamon that is not easy to get.

[Huskee]

Is their cinnamon topping mixed with butter too? I always wondered how they got it so mild and yummy.

[RonB]

Breadhead - Penzys carries Vietnamese cinnamon. You are correct about the KA dough - it's not as firm as Cinnabon's.

Huskee - they use butter and sour cream - yum.

[Dr ROK]

Definitely want pictures and results posted on this one. Would love some of these with a bowl of smoked chuck chili!!!

[Breadhead]

🙈 chili and cinnamon rolls? What are you smoking? No one eats cinnamon rolls after their morning coffee, do they? That's out of bounds.😎

[Craigar]

Hey Breadhead sometimes we have chili for breakfast. Especially if we roll out of the rack after 10 a.m.

[Dr ROK]

"out of bounds" is one of the nicer things I've been called
