#1718 - Bread Machine Cinnamon Buns

(by Shirley McNevich)

3/4 cup milk
1 egg
3 cups BREAD flour
3 TBSP white sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
4 TBSP butter (cut into smaller pieces)
2 tsp. active dry yeast
Filling: 1/3 cup butter (melted); 1/2 cup white sugar; 2 tsp. cinnamon; 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Glaze: 1 cup Domino's powdered sugar; 1 to 2 TBSP milk; 1/2 tsp. vanilla

In a bread machine set on the dough setting add milk, egg, bread flour, white sugar, salt, 4 TBSP butter and yeast--press start. When dough is finished, flour your counter, add the dough to the floured counter, and flour the top of the dough. Use your hands to knead the dough for a minute or two. Place the dough in a glass bowl, add a tea towel to the top of the bowl and set aside for 15 minutes. Flour the counter, add dough, flour the top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to 15" long and 10" wide. Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter over the top of the dough. In a small bowl add 1/2 cup white sugar and cinnamon--stir to mix. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture all over the top of the melted butter on the dough. Sprinkle the nuts over the top of the dough (if you wish). Roll the dough up (like a jelly roll), then use a knife to cut the roll into 1" thick pieces. Place the dough pieces in a greased 9 x 13 metal cake pan. Cover the top of the cake pan with saran wrap and set them aside until they double in size. Carefully remove saran wrap and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, cover the top with foil, and invert on to a cutting board. Glaze: in a bowl add powdered sugar, 1 to 2 TBSP milk, and vanilla--stir until mixed. Glaze the buns after they cool slightly and just before serving.
