1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 c. whole milk
1/2 c. sugar
4 1/2 c. flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tbsp salt
1 package of active dry yeast
FILLING:
1 c. sugar, plus more as needed
1 c. melted butter, plus more as needed
1/8 c. ground cinnamon for sprinkling
FROSTING:
1/4 c. milk
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/8 c. brewed coffee
1/8 c. melted butter
Pinch of salt
1 pound powdered sugar
How to make Absolutely Sinful Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: In a pan, whisk the milk, vegetable oil, and half c sugar. Heat the mixture and take off the heat just before the boiling point. Then, allow it to cool for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 2: Sprinkle in a package of Active Dry Yeast once the mixture is lukewarm to warm (but not hot). Allow the mixture to sit for about a minute before adding 4 c of flour. Stir well, cover, and allow it to rise for at least 1 hour.
Step 3: Add half c of flour to the mixture along with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. At this point, you can keep the dough in the fridge until ready to use (overnight or up to 2 days). If the dough begins to rise out of the pan, simply punch it down.
Step 4: Generously sprinkles the surface with flour. Into a thin triangle, roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Step 5: Tightly roll the dough, beginning with the wide end towards you in a neat line. Pinch the seam to seal. In each pan/dish, spread 1 tbsp of melted butter. Then, start cutting the dough into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife. Lay the rolls in the pan. Place in 375 degrees preheated oven and bake for about 13 to 17 minutes or until golden.
Frosting:
Step 6: Combine the frosting ingredients until smooth and thick but still pourable. Over the warm rolls, generously drizzle the frosting.
