How to Make Another Cinnabon Type Cinnamon Bun
- Step 1: Prepare the dough according to the original Gordon Family recipe, adapting as needed (refer to the original recipe for details on dough preparation).
- Step 2: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 18x24 inches).
- Step 3: Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. For the filling, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
- Step 4: Tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Step 5: Place the cinnamon rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Step 6: Let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes in a warm place.
- Step 7: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Step 8: While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until smooth and creamy (approximately 5 minutes).
- Step 9: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, let them cool slightly before generously frosting.
- Step 10: Enjoy immediately or let cool completely before storing.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
