cinnamon buns with sugar glaze

this morning my sister phoebe came over to make cinnamon buns
she had been craving them
and i claimed to have a delicious recipe
so she came over. and inbetween episodes of a bachelor marathon (it's so much more fun to watch, when you can see the episodes back to back) we made cinnamon buns

ooey gooey
soft & delicious
cinnamony goodness


this recipe is for a bread maker
i'm assuming you could make it without the breadmaker
but i don't know the directions for kneading & resting the dough

here it is:

Breadmaker Cinnamon Buns

dough:
put the following ingredients into the breadmaker in this order:

1 cup water
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon milk
2 1/4 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Set your breadmaker on the "dough" setting.
my breadmaker takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete this cycle (rising time included)

Once the dough is ready, and risen, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (15 x 9 inches)
Spread 2 tablespoons butter or margarine on the dough.

Mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar & 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over butter.

Roll up tightly, beginning at the 15 inch side.
Pinch edges to seal.
Stretch roll to make even.
Cut nine 1 1/2 inch slices.
Arrange in greased 9x9x2 inch square pan, spacing evenly.
Cover, let rise until double in size; about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
Top warm rolls with glaze (see recipe below)
Makes 9 rolls.

Powdered Sugar Glaze

1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon butter or margarine, softened
1 or 2 tablespoons water or milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

In a small bowl, blend ingredients until smooth. Spread or drizzle on warms when they are still warm.  *I used chocolate milk this time (it was all I had) and it made the drizzle a subtle chocolate flavour.
