Method
- To make the dough, beat the eggs, sugar and salt together in a large bowl. Combine the warm milk and margarine and add to the egg mixture.
- Slowly add half the flour and beat well. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly. Add the remaining flour and mix on medium speed for 7 minutes.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Let the dough rise to double its size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Roll the dough into a 45cm by 60cm rectangle.
- To make the filling, spread 125g of margarine over the dough and sprinkle the entire surface with brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans.
- Roll the dough into a cylinder shape, starting with the bottom edge, and then cut into 12 slices.
- Place the slices onto a greased baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
- In the meantime, mix all the ingredients for the icing together and beat until smooth. Spread the icing over the cooled rolls and serve immediately.
Swirly, spicy and everything nicey!
Few bakes feel quite as comforting as a tray of freshly made cinnamon rolls, and this recipe delivers that warm, bakery-style indulgence at home. In fact this cinnamon rolls recipe is from none other than Guy Fieri, and he knows a good cinnamon roll when he sees one!
Guy’s cinnamon rolls recipe starts with a soft enriched dough. Once rested and risen, roll it out and spread with the filling of brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans. Rolled up into that signature spiral, sliced into neat rounds, and baked in the oven, you get the joyous smell every kitchen deserves! The icing melts slightly over the warm rolls and the result is one of those cinnamon rolls dishes that’s a perfect balance of soft, sticky and sweet, with just a little nutty crunch. Serve warm for the ultimate treat.
These cinnamon rolls are perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast, brunch centrepiece or afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of coffee. Keep them classic, or riff with other cinnamon rolls ideas, such as swapping pecans for walnuts, adding a handful of raisins, or dialling up the spice for extra warmth.
