How to Make Sweet Cinnamon Buns

  1. Activate your bread machine according to manufacturer's instructions using the dough cycle. Add the following ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order specified: warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, eggs, and flour.
  2. Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and gently knead it on a lightly floured surface for 1-2 minutes. This helps develop the gluten.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches). Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  5. Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  6. Arrange the buns in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. While the buns are still warm, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with a dusting of powdered sugar (optional).
