These homemade cinnamon rolls are a delightful treat, perfect for breakfast or a special occasion. With a unique twist in the filling, they are sure to impress.
Add the milk, egg, butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the yeast does not come into direct contact with the salt to maintain its activity.
Select the dough cycle and start the machine.
Check the dough after a few minutes to ensure it forms a smooth ball; add water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough and roll it out to a 17x10 inch rectangle.
Lightly flour your surface to prevent sticking.
Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl until combined.
Ensure the butter is soft for easy mixing.
Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Use a spatula to get an even layer.
Sprinkle the raisins and walnuts over the filling.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and cut into 12 equal slices.
Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
Place the slices in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Rotate the dish halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best experience.
