Yep that's what I said, Cappuccino Cinnamon Rolls! I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine and decided to make them last night. Don't worry I will be sharing some of them with my neighbors. If you love coffee and cinnamon rolls, then this will hit the spot!
Cappuccino Cinnamon Rolls
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm milk
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp butter (softened)
1 1/4 tsp salt
5 1/2-6 cups flour
Filling:
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 tsp instant coffee granules
2 tsp cinnamon
Icing:
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1-2 Tbsp milk
2 tsp cappuccino mix (I used 1 tsp of instant coffee and dissolved it in the milk)
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the warm milk, buttermilk, sugar, butter, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough is sticky)
Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; turn onto a floured surface. Roll in to an 18x12 inch rectangle; brush with butter. Combine the brown sugar, coffee granules and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in of edges.
Roll up jelly roll style starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place rolls, cut side down in a greased 13x9 pan. Cover and let rise until doubled about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 22-28 minutes. Place pan on wire rack. In small bowl beat the icing ingredients until smooth. Spread over warm rolls. Serve warm.
Enjoy!!
