My family and I really loved the final product with this recipe. I did run into some confusion with the directions, but it looks like Stephanie clarifies that below. Also, I goofed and didn't half the recipe for my bread machine. Most machines can only handle about 3 cups of flour. OOPS! Overall, I loved the recipe and will make it again.

Made these a couple times w/o a bread machine and they turned out somewhat dense. Reading baking tips suggest more fat or sugar (or both), so I may try that. Also, frosting is a bit tricky - the frosting was runny so I reduced it - then there was not enough to spread on 2 doz.

This is Stephanie. Thank you for all the nice comments! HALVE THE RECIPE for bread machines or it will overflow. I wanted to clarify: warm milk, water & butter (I use the microwave), add egg(s), flour, yeast, sugar & salt to machine. Brush melted butter over dough, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, raisins/nuts (optional). I cut the rolls with dental floss (wrap floss around roll, tie pulling floss so it slices the dough as you make a knot). Now, I only bake them for 18-20 minutes. I've never measured milk for the frosting, I just add a little at a time until it's a nice spreading consistency. UPDATE I use brown sugar for the filling now because we prefer them gooey.

I made this last night and was very impressed with the recipe. The recipe was easy to follow and my kids enjoyed the rolls the next morning. I doubled the icing and left out the raisins. the rolls were a hit.

Stephanie: Thank you for posting this recipe! These cinnamon rolls are delicious; I've tried several recipes and this one was easy to make and tasted wonderful! Since my 1.5 lb. bread machine will not handle 6 cups of flour, I halved the recipe, but I may have to make a full batch by hand next time, because 12 rolls isn't enough! I think the melted butter in the frosting really makes these rolls a lot richer, and professional quality....most other rolls are made with a thinner glaze of water or milk and powdered sugar. This frosting is delicious! If you love cinnamon rolls, try this recipe---you won't be disappointed!

These cinnamon rolls have a great texture. Easy to make since the breadmaker does most of it. I read in earlier reviews some people want to cut the rolls before rolling - a easy way to cut the rolls is to take dental floss and make a loop around the dough and pinch it off that way - the rolls stay in perfect shape.

Once again, I made these cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. In fact, I was TOLD that I HAD to make them. The dough turned out a little wet this year...not sure why. Although they weren't beautiful, they sure did taste good, and the family scarfed them down. The recipe is too big for my bread machine, but I just watch it during the rising process, and take it out when it gets too high. My family is hooked on these, and I spend every Christmas Eve making them. Thanks for a really good recipe!

I made this without a bread machine, and they turned out incredible. Of all the times I have made cinnamon rolls, this is the first time i can honestly say they were "professional." Look no further, this is the recipe you want.

I am not much of a baker, but I tried these cinnamon rolls and they are easy and delicious! Making the dough in the bread maker is a snap, no mess to clean up and the end result is yummy rolls that don't stand around very long. (I also added a couple tbsp. of brown sugar to the filling, made it a little stickier, very good!)
