Homemade bread is my love language. I love making it for family and friends and I love eating it! These 90 minute cinnamon rolls are a family favorite. The best part? They come together in 90 minutes. That’s right! They DO NOT need to raise for an hour. Yahoo! We are LDS and watch General Conference twice a year that is broadcast from Salt Lake City.

Instead of going to church, we stay home and watch the broadcast from the comfort of our living room.

Making and eating cinnamon rolls has been a conference tradition ever since we were first married. Once I found this recipe for 90 minute dough, it’s been our go-to method!

90 Minute Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Frosting

ball of 90 minute dough
The dough is simple to make and nice and sweet. You can use this for so many recipes. I like using it during the holidays for our cherry candy cane bread.

Tip: instead of adding butter then sprinkling with sugar and cinnamon, mix all three together and spread over dough. Brown sugar makes these AMAZING.

Bake up until golden brown!

Can you make the cinnamon rolls ahead of time?

Yes! Make the cinnamon rolls up to this point. Where they are ready to go into the oven. Then freeze. When ready to make them, let the cinnamon rolls thaw then bake!

How many 90 minute cinnamon rolls does this recipe make?

This recipe makes a dozen cinnamon rolls with caramel frosting.

Can you use white sugar in the filling for cinnamon rolls?

Or course, but the mixture of butter and brown sugar makes the ooey gooey.

Now for the caramel frosting for the cinnamon rolls. Have you had this before? You’ll be adding it to EVERYTHING.

Ingredients

Rolls

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter softened

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Rolls

  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in butter; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well.
  • Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened butter. It should be the consistency of frosting.
  • Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle.
  • Spread dough with butter/sugar mixture. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal size rolls and place in lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned.

Frosting

  • In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; boil and stir 2 minutes. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm, about 30 minutes.
  • Gradually stir powdered sugar (1/2 cup at a time)  into brown sugar mixture. Place saucepan of frosting in bowl of cold water. Beat with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting becomes too stiff, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Spread over rolls.

Notes

If frosting becomes too stiff, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.

    I made this for brunch….oohhh sooo good! It turned out like Cinnabon, or even better in my opinion. It’s fluffy and still taste so good even without icing/frosting. They’re gone in seconds in my family of 5.
    Thanks for posting the recipe.

    I bookmarked this recipe a few weeks ago & I don’t think the heat will prevent me from making them (& using my oven) for very long…
    A question though: being French, I’m not really sure what instant yeast is (translations are not really clear).
    Is it the little cube that must be kept in the fridge? Or is it like active dry yeast? Or still something else (white-ish? brown-ish?…)
    Thanks for sharing!

    The email kept coming back to me so I’ll post this here and hope you see it!

    Active yeast will work just fine. Good luck!

    Sorry for the email problem, I don’t see why (unless maybe you kept your American habits & didn’t see that it’s hotmail [dot] FR, & not COM… ;-))

    These are terrific! It took me ages to come back & confirm it, but I can tell you they’re going to be regulars around here, especially as they are pretty versatile: I made them with real butter & fresh yeast, & tonight I’m going to try half of them with jam for the filling.
    Thanks a million Brandy!

    I’ve been making breakfast for dinner once a week since school started back. Tonight I made these rolls. My husband stated, “These may be the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had!” I used 1/3 whole wheat flour and they turned out fantastic. The middle is nice and gooey and the caramel could almost put you in a sugar coma! Thanks for sharing the recipe. It’s definitely a hit in my house.
