Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Scrolls

[snappy]

I know there are quite a few cinnamon scroll recipes on the forum but I thought I would also add my favorite from the Pioneer Woman!  I have finally converted it for the Thermomix and made it metric.

This is actually half of PWs recipe as the full quantity is a little bit too big for the thermomix to handle.

Ingredients
475ml milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
100g castor sugar
7g yeast (2-3 tsp)
620g plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Additional 1/2 cup plain flour

Topping:
100g melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 -3 tsp ground cinnamon

Icing:
3 tbl butter
400g icing sugar
15 - 20 ml of espresso (or pre-made instant coffee)
2 tbl of maple syrup or golden syrup

Method:
Place milk, oil and sugar into the TMX bowl and mix 2 mins / 90C / speed 2.

Add yeast and allow to rest in the bowl for 1 minute.

Add the 620g of flour and mix on Interval speed / 1 minute.

Let it prove in the bowl for approx 1 hour.  My dough rose out of the bowl through the measuring cup hole, if this happens to you, before adding the next ingredients, interval speed / 30 secs will knock it down again.

Add bicarbonate soda, baking powder, salt and the additional flour and mix on interval speed / 1 min.  You can either use the dough now or refrigerate for up to 3 days.  PW does suggest that as this is a fairly sticky dough it is easier to handle if it has had some time in the fridge.

Roll the dough out into a large rectangle on your thermomat or other floured board.  It should be rolled quite thin.

Pour the melted butter over the entire rectangle and then top with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Starting at one of the long ends, roll up the dough tightly until it is all rolled up, pinch the end into the roll so it is secured and flip it over so the seam is face down.

Using a dough cutter, cut the roll into 2-3 cm wide slices.  Place the slices into some greased oven pans.  Set the dough aside to rise again for at least another 20 mins.

Preheat oven to 180c.  Bake the rolls for about 15-18 mins, don't let them become too brown!

To make the icing, combine all the ingredients in the thermomix and mix 40 sec / speed 7.  The icing should be of a thick but pourable consistency.

Pour the icing over the scrolls whilst they are still warm.  Now try not to eat them all in one sitting!

NOTE : PW uses maple flavoring in her icing but I haven't come across it before in Australia (unless it's that horrid maple flavored syrup) so I just use maple syrup or golden syrup and both come out delicious.  Do not omit this or the coffee, they really are essential to the most delicious icing!

This recipe normally makes about 20 scrolls.

Nighteyes fitz - Ok...so don't add more butter, sugar, cinnamon to the dough before rolling up...doesn't work so well! but they still taste delicious...sticky..but delicious! Going to make some more tomorrow but not be so greedy!

JuliaC83 -  Sooooooooo good. A little bit time consuming but very easy to put together! I got 22 scrolls ... and have eaten 3.

alfacchino - These are so good! Everytime I go somewhere and offer to bring something, I get a request for them.
