Bread Machine Cinnamon Roll Dough

1 batch of our bread machine cinnamon roll dough (see Notes and video for link at the bottom of this recipe card!)

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

½ cup butter, softened or melted - salted or unsalted, soft enough to spread
1 ½ cups brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon - or try 1 tbsp cinnamon & 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice for a cozy fall twist

Cream Cheese Frosting

Use one batch of your Bread Machine Cinnamon Roll Dough.
Once the dough cycle finishes, remove it from the pan and lightly flour your surface.
Roll it into a rectangle roughly 18 x 12 inches.
Spread your softened or melted butter evenly across the dough, reaching right to the edges.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the top, pressing gently so it sticks.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut into even slices (about 12 to 14 rolls depending on how thick you like them).
Place the rolls in a greased 9 x 13 pan.
For that classic ooey-gooey Cinnabon texture, pour 2–3 tablespoons of cream or half and half into the base of the pan before the second rise.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let them rise in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in size.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 18 to 22 minutes until golden on top and fluffy inside.
If you’re using a glass dish, you may need to add a few extra minutes.
Beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until creamy and smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla, adjusting to your preferred sweetness and consistency.
Spread the frosting generously over warm rolls so it melts slightly into the crevices. Serve immediately for maximum gooeyness!

The pumpkin spice variation is amazing for fall and holiday mornings.
If you like your rolls extra sticky, you can add a drizzle of honey to the filling.
The frosting also doubles beautifully as a dip for leftover rolls.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before serving.
