Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

[brandishoogy]

Oh my gosh, I want to climb through that screen and either come live with you or grab that dish. My mouth is watering so badly and i feel like im having anxiety cuz I NEED those rolls. Hahahah..... I cant take this. I do have a question though. How would it turn out if you didn't use the milk/cream or so much milk/cream in the sause mixture that goes on the bottom? Would it just be less liquidy or would it mess things up?

[freitasex]

@brandishoogy

It would turn out less liquidy with cream.

I would not eliminate it, but you could cut it in half.

Thank you so much!

[brandishoogy]

Hell yeah!! You fricken rock. I'm so glad you finally said something about arteries closing up all the way to all those rude unappriciative jerks who always gotta have something negative to say.. I personally think you are the best show on youtube. If they dont like it, no one is forcing them to watch it. You're so mellow and relaxing to watch and your food looks absolutely delicious every time. I adore you by the way..:D

[joeyshendle]

Ditch the Cat/Dog Food bowls in the background. Oh wait, I think my arteries are clogging! Arrrrrrrggggh!

[KissHope]

I have made many a cinnamon rolls but never seen a recipe use that much butter, usually 2 tablespoons mixed in with the other ingredients. Just wondering what this much butter adds to the texture or taste of the roll itself less the caramel sauce? I am anxious to give it a go if this really makes a better roll. Thanks.

[freitasex]

@KissHope

I like this because it is in the style of a French Brioche.

Thanks!

[KissHope]

@freitasex

Ahhhh yes love Brioche, then the texture is far different from just 2 tbls of butter then? Paula Dean would love these....lol

[TraxxasRC07]

Can you use u use self rising flour and no yeast or regular flour? if not can u use baking powder instead of yeast?

[freitasex]

@TraxxasRC07

You can try your method, but I do not think it would work, sorry.

[MrJonfarr]

@freitasex how much water did you use for the dough? pls

[freitasex]

@MrJonfarr

I use 1/4 cup or 60ml of water.

Thank you for your question!

[MsLifesun]

i've prepared the dough and kept it for about 1hr in the fridge, but when tried to lay it down it was so sticky and it sticks on my fingers, on the surface and i can't even roll it, please do you have an idea about the problem ? should I add anything for it not to stick or leave more in the fridge ? i can't roll it over :'((

[freitasex]

@MsLifesun

Home cooks here do not weigh ingredients and that makes baking more difficult.

Here I used cups as a measurement and that is using cups as volume and not weight.

You may need more flour added.

The resting in the refrigerator does help to allow the flour absorb the other ingredients.

[MsLifesun]

please can u tell me if it's a must to leave the dough for a whole night in the fridge ? can we just keep it one hour or so inside or out the firdge ? thank you so much :) i'm trying it right now !

[Fitange]

@freitasex thank you so much for working it out. I'll let you know how I go :) cheers

[Fitange]

Freitasex- how much does 11 TBSP equal to in grams? Being an Aussie our TBSP are different to yours. 1 Aussie TBSP is 20 grams. Did you use approx 165 grams? Thanks Hun

[freitasex]

@Fitange

I just figured it, and it comes to 156 grams of butter.

My one pound package of butter says that it is 453 grams.

There is 32 Tablespoons of butter in 1 pound or 453 grams.

453 divided by 32 = 14.15 grams in a Tablespoon.

14.15 X 11 = 155.7 grams

Your 165 grams is very close :-)

I would use right around the 160 mark.

The butter need to be soft and yet cool as warm butter will not work.

Thanks for asking and good luck!

[Slatortue1]

OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT STUFF!!!!!??????  That tastes like heaven!!!! I love u!!!!

[freitasex]

@Slatortue1

Wow, you must really like this, thank you!

[kalburiumstormbreath]

You rule man! I love the Comment " I hope they close up" HAHAHAHA!

[freitasex]

@kalburiumstormbreath

Thanks man and for subscribing too.

There is no way that everybody will like everything I make, but getting (quite a few) comments like people saying ... by watching your video (s) I can feel my arteries closing up, makes me want to say that back to them, lol.

[meraquamarine95]

Looks really yummy! can i make this without a standing mixer and just knead it by hand?

[freitasex]

@meraquamarine95

Yes, you can do it by hand.

With the machine it took me about 45 minutes, just giving you a warning.

Thank you for your question!

[DeirdreBegley]

that looks good

[freitasex]

@DeirdreBegley

I must admit, they are good, thanks!

[loganavenue1]

Your Freita's ex? She should have her head examined.....

[freitasex]

@loganavenue1

Lol, thank you!

[fishhand360]

Looks so great I love food and I love to cook looks tasty and good

[freitasex]

@fishhand360

Thank you Cyrill!

[MsChika74]

wowowowow!!!! looks delicious! thank you.

[freitasex]

@MsChika74

Thank you :)

[QueenShamair]

WOW!!! That looks good!!

[freitasex]

@QueenShamair

Thank you, thank you very much!

[Hokieman101]

Michael, you roasted all of your naysayers! Owned! You're the man!

[laylacristina822]

they look so delicious!! reminds me of a mild version of brioche bread.

[freitasex]

@laylacristina822

Exactly, it is a version of brioche, thank you!

[allureoftheseas1997]

I forgot to put plastic wrap when they were rising... So after the 3+ hours, they did not really rise. Will this change something to the end result or will they get bigger and expand as they cook?

[freitasex]

@allureoftheseas1997

I do not know the end results because they have always risen for me.

Bake them anyway of course! They do get a little bigger in the oven.

Thank you for your questions and good luck!

[allureoftheseas1997]

@freitasex I baked them this morning... They turned out great, they just weren't as big as yours but they were delicious! :) Thanks for the recipe!

[freitasex]

@allureoftheseas1997

Since you made these, it makes me want to make them again!

Happy New Year!

[KatiaSugar]

@allureoftheseas1997 Im no expert because well… I'm only 15 years old.. but I believe that covering a pastry with yeast in it before putting it in the oven is very important because it's supposed to "develop" and expand before going into the oven..But in the oven it will "grow" maybe around 1/2 an inch-1inch :-)

[allureoftheseas1997]

I would like to make these for breakfast, can I make the dough 2 days in advance and make the rolls the next day and leave them to rise in the refrigerator overnight? This way, I would just have to cook them on the morning I would be serving them...

Thanks

[freitasex]

@allureoftheseas1997

Mostly yes, but the day you bake them they do need to rise out of the refrigerator.

[irockz2468]

lol more like sugar rolls

[freitasex]

@irockz2468

Yes I get that!

[freitasex]

@bigcat803

Thank you!

[KBphat]

mmm dat looks so good

[freitasex]

@KBphat

Thank you!

[jfsoller]

Those look great. Thank you.

[freitasex]

@jfsoller

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[bowhunter2439]

Funny I was just eyeing a few recipes on Cinnamoin rolls , I may have to toss them and just make yours .....hahaha.... bring on the clogged arterys , im lovin it....!!!

[freitasex]

@bowhunter2439

Thank you very much!

[ShowMeHowNow]

that looks sooo yummy!!! thanks for sharing it Michael!

[freitasex]

@ShowMeHowNow

Thank you Gus!

[EdElisea]

I never knew so much went into making cinnamon rolls. BTW I love cinnamon rolls.

EdElisea 11/23/11

[freitasex]

@EdElisea

Thanks!

There are easier recipes out there to tell you the truth.

[duece10]

lmfao....Maybe they could add some fish oil to the recipe....to keep their closing arteries flowing

[freitasex]

@duece10

What a great idea, love it :)

[AMlovesLady]

Is that a new mixer? Congrats dude! :D

[freitasex]

@AMlovesLady

The mixer is a few years old.

[AMlovesLady]

@freitasex oops sorry, it looked different from the previous ones :)

[Hokieman101]

Nice generic soda case in the background, lol. Pepsi is way too expensive so I buy the no name brand stuff all the time.

[freitasex]

@Hokieman101

Yes, I agree and thank you for subscribing!

[JoAnneEllaine]

Can I bake it right away? or do I need to put in the fridge over night?

[freitasex]

@JoAnneEllaine

The refrigeration helps with texture, but yes you can make them right away.

I like putting them in the fridge because you have so much work done the day before you bake them, thanks!

[meishacho]

Awesome;)

[freitasex]

@meishacho

Thanks!

[JoAnneEllaine]

wohooo, this is a must to try, looking yummmyyyy, thanks for sharing it to us again

[freitasex]

@JoAnneEllaine

You are welcome and thank you!

[GVB1939A]

Great job have added to my Cooking playlist Gerry Broad

[freitasex]

@GVB1939A

Thank you Gerrry!

[GVB1939A]

@freitasex Not many leave comments

[freitasex]

@GVB1939A

around 10% is the norm

[bigjenn26]

OMG..that looks better then cinnabon rolls! good job

[freitasex]

@bigjenn26

Thanks!

[drkangel762]

A good tip to speed up rising is to pit your bread or pastry in the oven with just the light on. The light makes it nice and warm for them to rise

[freitasex]

@drkangel762

Great awesome idea... my oven has no light :(

[the454engine2009]

Hey, I was wondering, can you replace the Pecans with peanuts? I'm just curiuos.

[freitasex]

@the454engine2009

You sure can!

[the454engine2009]

@freitasex Awsome!!

[1wog4ever]

looks yummy thx for sharing! I don't want my arteries to close but these would sure make for a happy closure lol

[freitasex]

@1wog4ever

I think that the people that tell me that they can just feel their veins closing up are both kidding and letting me know that I am making the foods too rich, so I have always wanted to say that to them... kidding of course :)

[Movickrox]

Looks delicious!

[freitasex]

@Movickrox

Thank you, thank you very much!

[imperceptibleme]

I make something like this but they are called pecan rolls. I love them and these look so yummy too! I don't have a handy dandy mixer like that. I bet it does take a lot of the work out of making these. I bet they were absolutely delicious! Hugs!

[freitasex]

@imperceptibleme

These are incredible and thanks for watching Melissa!

[rhosteph]

The only thing that needs is a big ol glass of milk! I like to make the Chirstmas Eve night so I can bake them fresh for Christmas morning! I'm going to try the yummy mixture you made for the bottom of the pan!

[freitasex]

@rhosteph

The longer that they cool off the thicker the sauce gets, it is difficult to wait, thanks Rhonda :)

[50centmarian]

heyy can i leave out the honey and pecans out. and when making the dough can i just put the butter with everythings

[freitasex]

@50centmarian

yes you can leave the pecans out, if you want to leave out the honey, then you must use corn syrup as a replacement.

The butter must be added in eleven additions.

[ABQdoubleG]

Now that's a cinnamon roll, great recipe! Butter, Yes ;))

[freitasex]

@ABQdoubleG

Thank you Gigi :)

[LovexGlee1]

omg i thought that was your knuckles cracking at 5:57 o.o anyways cool recipe, i might need to try it out sometime:]

[freitasex]

@LovexGlee1

Thank you!

[DrunknShooter]

I love how your not stingy with the pecans!

Did you have a big glass of milk or some warm coffee with that roll?

[freitasex]

@DrunknShooter

I had milk for sure, thanks!

[KasCooks]

Looks delicious, your house must smell amazing!

[freitasex]

@KasCooks

Just the rolls rising made the kitchen smell good, thanks!

[mpedward2]

Real butter is better for you... don't let the "fat police" fool ya'll in to thinking butter is bad for you...Margerine is only one molicule away from plastic! .... don't belive me? look it up ! ask any pro chef they use "real butter" =) p.s.. i love all of the vids on this chennel! =)

[freitasex]

@mpedward2

I agree with you, I feel the same way about lard as well, thanks!

[Fatesworld]

omg I love cinnamon rolls. I am defiantly going to give this a try! Thanks for uploading this video!

[freitasex]

@Fatesworld

Thank you!

[messtomasses]

looks delicious!

[freitasex]

@messtomasses

Thank you Cindy!

[Allen2045]

I have been using the bread machine to make the dough. The sauce is kind of like the carmel pecan sauce I make at work.  It's a big batch..

[freitasex]

@Allen2045

Bread machine is a great idea!

[renee7aw]

yummmm...what a way to go...lol...love yeast rolls

[freitasex]

@renee7aw

I do too, thanks!

[eatingperson]

Anyway to do thiys if you don't have a dough mixer? The equivalent in mixing by hand would probably leave you looking like Popeye.

[freitasex]

@eatingperson

In all practicality the answer is not really, I am sure if you do have the time and muscle you could do this by hand.

In the machine it takes me 30 minutes to get the butter mixed in piece by piece, and 45 minutes total time.

[Allen2045]

I like this way of doing cinnamon rolls. I just made some for the 2nd time tonight. For the 3rd time Im going to try the pecan sauce at the bottom of the pan. Thanks so much for this wonderful video.........Paula

[freitasex]

@Allen2045

The pecan sauce does thicken up with time, the waiting is the hardest part :)

[Barnekkid]

Oh no! My arteries are closing up all the way! GOODBY WORLD!!

[freitasex]

@Barnekkid

Good By my friend, lol :D

[MelugoAlyan]

that stand mixer in on my wishlist ;) It´s ridiculously expensive here in Brazil. And to import it it´s about the same price with taxes and all. Im just gonna wait a little more. I´ve been obsessed with cinnamon rolls for the past 2 weeks, been lookin´ all kinds of recipe. Thanks for posting it.

[freitasex]

@MelugoAlyan

I hope you are able to try this sometime, thanks!

[haloumicheese]

Michael you are a bloody legend!! LOL " i hope the rest of your arteries close up" that was fantastic. hhahhaa.

[freitasex]

@haloumicheese

Yes, I have received comments like that before, they just bug me, lol.

[Niquee1]

Hi, How long do you think the dough will keep in the fridge? Do you think I could double this recipe and bake it throughout the week? The way you make your cinnamon rolls is very different from the way I do mine, but I'm willing to give it a go because it's not everyday I have the time to knead the dough and let it rise for hours, sometimes I fill mine with coconut, melt the butter add sugar and the milk let it cool and spread over the dough next sprinkle shredded coconut on it

[freitasex]

@Niquee1

I am glad you asked me that.

You are suppose to make them the next day, but I didn't feel like making them.

The dough sat in my fridge for 8 days before I got around to rolling them out and letting them rise.

I would imagine you could freeze the dough for 2 months also, then defrost in the fridge for a day or two.

[gypsyThree97]

Bravo Bravo!

Those would go great with a hot cup of coffee.

[freitasex]

@gypsyThree97

I cannot agree with you more, thanks!

[silverscreamgrl]

Nice! I've never attempted cinnamon rolls. But I may very well do that now :)

[freitasex]

@silverscreamgrl

Some idiot flagged your comment as spam, I hate when people do that.

Almost every video someones comment is flagged.

Oh, I am going to write to you, hope you do not mind, I have a question.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@freitasex yes, email me vs. PM...

I was watching a TON of videos this morning,Michael, and a lot of them were marked as spam... I think because I watched so many! I think I watched 10-11 in a row.

[freitasex]

@CookingAndCrafting

Well I wrote to you on Facebook.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@freitasex okay, will go look!

[Imani0Lika]

I was just thinking about making these today and then you just had to make such a fantastic recipe. I have no choice but to follow it now XD

[freitasex]

@Imani0Lika

Awesome, I am sure you will love these :)

[ataylorai1]

Love nice rich pastry! I love this recipe and will be trying it soon.

[freitasex]

@ataylorai1

Excellent and thank you!

[neurocosm]

I Want to request a phrase for next time something you make is awesome tasting! (which should be fairly soon), please say after you taste"

"GET OUT OF TOWN! This is absolutely Ridiculicious! "

[freitasex]

@neurocosm

I don't know Tony, people get really upset when you change the norm, at least in my case.

I will think about it :)

[caa1000]

Really Michael, you don't need to reply the trolls about closed arteries! I would enjoy it, but I also have the arteries clogged, because I have high cholesterol.

[freitasex]

@caa1000

I take Lipitor and I am happy the cost is going down soon :)

[caa1000]

@freitasex I get generic Zocor or Simvastatin for lowering cholesterol and I can't even think of getting fried chicken! :( But, heck is your show, but trolling with closed arteries comments was a "No-No" in my opinion!

[OregonVet]

LOL - love "hope they close up the rest of the way".

[freitasex]

@OregonVet

Yes, I just want them to go away and die, lol.

[agmcg81]

Oh my god, those look phenomenal! you are the man! :)

[freitasex]

@agmcg81

Yes I am, lol, thanks!

[Scorpion11381]

OMG we're stand mixer twins! A sleeveless shirt episode and showing off them pythons. You're gonna have to change your name to Freita-B-Sexy! After your triple bypass surgery from the butter I'll send you my mamas favorite cinnamon roll recipe. But you might have to go back for another surgery,lol. Great video, now I'm brain washed to make cinnamon rolls.

[freitasex]

@Scorpion11381

The funny thing is... it is so easy to wash that brain of yours, LOLOLOL

[therockforever2]

the guy who was talking about Chelsea Buns is right micheal there sooo tasty can you make them ?

[freitasex]

@therockforever2

Sure I can make them!

It will be a while, don't know when.

Thanks James!

[therockforever2]

@therockforever2 Really? thanks Micheal your one of the best! An you take as long as you want i know you have alot of other requests to do ^_^

[Kiisu101]

looks so yummy! really wanna try this!

[freitasex]

@Kiisu101

Well then stop by, I will have one waiting for you!

[v10letwho]

Looks soo good!!!!

Can i replace the pecan nuts for anything else? I really dont like them.

[freitasex]

@v10letwho

You can leave them out or replace them with what you like, thanks!

[DeeHong]

OMG That looks Amazing! I can smell it through my monitor when you took it out of your oven!!! Cant wait to make this for my Christmas Gathering Dinner! Thanks for posting this!

Dee

[freitasex]

@DeeHong

My pleasure and thank you Dee!

[wildheart5]

Just beautiful Michael!! A lot of work, but totally worth it! Tell the naysayers: butter makes the batter better! lol Aren't the price of nuts crazy right now? Barb

[freitasex]

@wildheart5

Yes the price is NUTS, lol, thank you Barb :)

[lovelylady8998]

i love you seriously!!!

[freitasex]

@lovelylady8998

Wow, wow, WOW, thank you!

[Makousen]

If my arteries close up after eating this...what a way to go! I totally accept going out like that.

[freitasex]

@Makousen

Some comments on past videos just stick in my mind.... I always wanted to say that back to them, lol.

Thanks!

[TheRealtalk617]

That looks so awesome ! =)

[freitasex]

@TheRealtalk617

Thank you!

[WilliamGruff]

Thanks for this. Those are remarkably similar to what we call Chelsea Buns (I haven't had them for years but enjoy them very much and am going to make my own).

Re Arteries closing up: I would ask of those who are concerned with such things:

1) What is the point of a long life if the price is unending self-denial? Life is short and there is no afterlife so avoid unnecessary suffering.

2) What business is it of yours how long I live?

[freitasex]

@WilliamGruff

I completely agree with you on all points, thank you for that!

[AirrowRocket]

That dish is proof there is a god!

[freitasex]

@AirrowRocket

Thanks you!

[TheVittleVlog]

Dang those look great!

[freitasex]

@TheVittleVlog

Thank you my friend!

[baconsoda]

I love coincidences and I've got one today. An hour ago my wife and I were reminiscing about our last trip to Canada and we agreed that one thing we loved there was Cinnabons. Then I jump on here for a while and find your video showing what must be the Rolls Royce of cinnamon rolls. Excellent! These will be made as soon as I get pecans.

Best Wishes, Brendan.

[freitasex]

@baconsoda

Your comment is one of the best ever if not the BEST, thank you Brendan :)

I hope you do find time to make these, they are wonderful!

[tsummerlee]

Oooey gooey goodness. Total food porn. Yum!

[freitasex]

@tsummerlee

Thank you Teresa!

[edenbainbridge]

this looks fabulous and i want to make it for breakfast tomorrow. we will have to see if orion starts to act right, lol (last night he showed his teenage side something fierce. nothing bad bad but jeeze teens can really pitch a bitch over nothing)

maybe for punishment i will make these and not let him have one ;)

xoexo

[freitasex]

@edenbainbridge

You just made me GASP, you would have to give him at least one.

Shame on him throwing a fit.
