Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.33 cup Light brown sugar, packed (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)

Instructions
Place the warm water, skim milk, egg, softened butter, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and start.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a roughly 12x8-inch rectangle.
Spread the 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side down in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the rolls cool slightly, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons of skim milk until smooth. Adjust the milk quantity for your desired glaze consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
