Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar or honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 1/2 cups flour (I use unbleached)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp yeast
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 stick softened butter

Caramel Sauce

  • 1 stick butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp cream or half and half (milk will work as well)
  • dash salt

Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • 1 stick softened butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • dash of salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the wet ingredients into the bread machine. Once you've done this add the rest of the dry ingredients.
  • Cut up the butter into chunks and add it to the mix. Set your bread machine to the dough setting and press start.
  • While your dough is mixing grab a small bowl and add the softened butter, cinnamon, and sugar, and mix it all together until everything is completely incorporated.
  • Once the dough is done, lightly flour the counter and begin rolling out the dough until it is about 14 x 9 inch rectangle.
  • Begin spreading the cinnamon sugar mix onto the dough. Completely covering the whole rectangle of dough.
  • Tightly roll up the dough and begin cutting it into 1-inch thick pieces.
  • Butter a pan well and place the dough into the pan in even rows.
  • Let the dough rise a second time for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 17 minutes. Once the time is up check for doneness. If it's not done put it back in the oven for 3 minutes until completely cooked.

Caramel Sauce

  • To make the caramel sauce start by melting a stick of butter in a small saucepan on medium-low heat.
  • Next add the brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and cream.
  • Mix until it begins to bubble. Turn off the heat and pour over all of the cinnamon rolls.
