No Knead Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
By well-liked demand, it needed to be executed – the magic Mushy No Knead Dinner Rolls have now been reworked into these No Knead Cinnamon Rolls!!! Mushy and fluffy with a cream cheese glaze, these will change your life. No kneading, no stand mixer, no in a single day rise. You’re welcome / I’m sorry….
I’m apologising for sharing these for numerous causes. I’m sorry to all these making an attempt to be wholesome. (Me, me!) I’m sorry to everybody making an attempt to chop down of their carb consumption. (Me, me!)
I’m sorry to everybody who makes these as soon as and are harassed to make them repeatedly…..
I truly wasn’t positive if I’d ever share this. I had fairly an astonishing variety of messages right here and on Fb asking if the No Knead Dinner Rolls may very well be used to make cinnamon rolls. The idea sounded fairly simple – simply use the identical dough however add a bit extra flour so it was rollable into a big rectangle that may very well be slathered with butter and cinnamon sugar, then rolled up and lower.
The issue I stored operating into – the two rolls in the midst of the tray simply wouldn’t prepare dinner by correctly. They appeared cooked, however as quickly as I bit into it, it was undeniably doughy.
Batches later… the reply was so easy. I ran out of bread flour and used regular flour.
Increase. It labored. Duh! Head smack! No-knead dough is extra fragile than kneaded dough and bread flour makes buns barely lighter and extra tender. Whenever you add that heavy butter / sugar slather, it weighs down the dough and provides an excessive amount of moisture for the dough to rise and prepare dinner by correctly.
Swap to plain / all objective flour = barely sturdier dough = sturdier (however nonetheless gentle!) buns = totally cooked by.
Phew!
As for kneaded vs no knead dough – right here’s the reality. Kneaded dough makes a greater bread. If that weren’t a truth, hundreds of thousands of bakeries around the globe could be ditching their mixers. The bread is barely extra tender and retains barely higher.
However the operative phrase right here is barely. The sheer comfort of this no knead recipe outweighs the small distinction, and opens up a brand new world of potentialities for individuals who don’t have a stand mixer nor are inclined to knead dough by hand.
And the clincher is that when these No Knead Cinnamon Rolls are warmed barely – simply 15 seconds within the microwave – it makes them so uber gentle and fluffy, you’d swear they had been from a fancy bakery.
Nicely – your loved ones and associates will suppose that. You’ll be able to simply sit again and lap up the compliments! – Johnsat x
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp dry yeast (Note 1)
- 70 g / 1/3 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar), or sub with normal white sugar
- 1/2 cup / 125 ml warm water (Note 2)
- 600 g / 20 oz plain flour / all purpose flour (4 1/2 US Cups, 4 Cups everywhere else exc Japan) (Note 3)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup / 250 ml milk , lukewarm, whole or low fat, (Note 2)
- 50 g / 3.5 tbsp unsalted butter , melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs , beaten with fork
- 1/4 cup / 35g plain flour (all purpose flour), plus more as required
- 90 g / 6 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
- 1 cup / 220 g brown sugar , packed
- 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
- 90 g / 3 oz cream cheese , softened
- 50 / 3 tbsp unsalted butter , softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or essence)
- 1 1/4 cups / 150g soft icing sugar / powdered sugar
- 2 – 3 tbsp milk , any (or water)
Instructions
- Place the yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in a medium bowl, then pour in water. Leave for 5 minutes until it froths.
- Place 600g/20oz flour, remaining sugar and salt in a bowl. Mix to combine.
- Make a well in the centre. Add milk, butter, eggs and pour in the yeast liquid, including all froth.
- Mix until combined with wooden spoon – it will be like a sticky muffin batter, not kneadable.
- Rise # 1: Cover with cling wrap and place in a warm place (25C/77F+) to rise for around 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 hrs or until almost tripled in volume. (Note 4) Dough surface should be bubbly (see video or photos in post).
- Line a 31.5 x 23.5 cm / 9 x 13″ tray with baking paper with overhang.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.
- Uncover dough, mix with spoon to deflate.
- Sprinkle half Extra Flour on work surface, pour dough on, sprinkle over remaining Extra Flour. Use hands to incorporate the flour into the dough – it may not absorb it all (or need more), the dough will stop absorbing flour when it’s no longer sticky, should be soft, pliable.
- If work surface is now flour free, sprinkle with more flour.
- Shape dough into log, then roll out into 28 x 48 cm / 11 x 19″ rectangle.
- Pour over butter, then brush all over, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Roll up firmly, then shape into an even log.
- Cut into 12 pieces (4cm / 1.6″), then place on tray (3 x 4).
- Cover with tea towel then place in warm place for 40 minutes or until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan / convection). Place shelf in the middle of the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the tray at 16 minutes.
- Buns are ready when the middle rolls are golden and the outer ones are deep golden on the edges. Tap the middle ones – they should sound hollow.
- Optional: Brush with 1 tbsp / 15g melted butter to remove any residual flour spots.
- Use paper overhang to lift rolls onto cooling rack (key step – Note 5). Cool for 1 hour (will still be warm).
- Use a spoon to frost with glaze. Best served warm!
- Place butter, cream cheese and vanilla in a bowl. Beat until smooth (10 – 15 seconds).
- Add icing sugar, beat to incorporate. Add enough milk to make it a consistency that can be spooned over the buns and it drips slightly (see video).
Notes
1. 1 tbsp dry yeast = 9 grams. I use Lowan Dried Instant Yeast (red tube, sold at Woolies/Coles baking aisle) which technically doesn’t need to be frothed before using but there’s no harm in doing it, and I do it out of habit + also because then the same steps apply to any dried yeast.
If your yeast doesn’t go frothy, sorry to say it’s not active so your buns won’t rise. To use fresh yeast (comes in a block that crumbles, not powder like dry yeast), use 27g/ 0.9 oz. You don’t actually need to dissolve it in liquid like I do with the dry, but there’s no harm in doing it and so for the sake of consistency, crumble it in and let stand until it foams up, same as using dry yeast.
2. Scalding hot milk and hot water kills the yeast. I heat milk for 45 seconds on high in the microwave, and use warm tap water. The test is this: stick your finger in. If it was a bath, would it be pleasant? Good. It’s not too hot or too cold!
3. FLOUR: Do NOT use bread flour! Bread flour makes buns slightly more fluffier and tender, but the addition of the butter slather weighs down the dough (which is more delicate than kneaded dough) and causes the rolls in the centre not to cook through. So this recipe requires a sturdier dough, meaning normal plain / all purpose flour. Bread flour and cake flour do not work – I tried many times!
Measurement: Cups around the world differ in size. If you don’t have scales to weight the flour, please use the relevant cup size. For US/Canada, use 4 1/2 cups (they are slightly different, but close enough). For rest of world other than Japan, use 4 cups of flour. For Japan, please weigh the flour.
4. WARM PLACE for dough: This is what I do all year round – use my dryer. Laugh – but try it! Run the (empty) dryer for 1 – 2 minutes, then place the bowl inside. If you do that, the dough will rise in 1.5 hours. Even if it’s snowing outside!
5. COOLING: Hot fresh bread needs to be cooled otherwise it can seem a bit “doughy”. This is even more important for this no knead dough, especially with the addition of the cinnamon butter glaze. I found that when glazed hot, and if not cooled on a rack, there were patches in the centre that were doughy.
6. MAKE AHEAD: Follow recipe up to rolling balls and cover with cling wrap. Then refrigerate for 4 hours – 24 hours (this is the 2nd rise), take them out 30 minutes before then bake!
7. STORING: All homemade bread – even kneaded – is best served on the day. Things made using this No-Knead version doesn’t keep as well as the kneaded version – dries out a bit faster. For these buns, reheating is key! 12 seconds in the microwave is all you need!
8. DOUBLING: Make double the batter in one large bowl, then divide the batter into 2 bowls for the first rise (if double the dough is in one giant bowl, may struggle to rise). Proceed with recipe and place rolls on a large tray or 2 trays, and bake them all on the same shelf in the oven.
9. HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING: I am fortunate to have some fabulous readers at high altitude who often try my baking recipes quite soon after publishing and leave helpful information for others. Hopefully I will hear from someone soon so I can update this note! For the first tester – the dough is surprisingly forgiving. I have added flour and water/milk by eye at the end to get the consistency per the video/photos, it has been sloppier and firmer, as long as enough flour is added when rolling out the dough so it can be rolled up into a log, it has always worked out. 🙂
UPDATE: A reader at 4000 ft in AZ reported that it worked great with no amendments to the recipe! WHOOT!
10. MORE STUFFING! Try adding 3/4 cup of nuts (chopped pecans, walnuts are especially great), raisins and/or crumbled bacon!
11. This recipe is adapted from these Soft No Knead Dinner Rolls I published a couple of months ago.
