Taste Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe By: David Rosengarten
Servings: 16

This recipe is from an early 90s food network show called Taste with David Rosengarten. Before Alton Brown hit the scene this guy was one of the faces of The Food Network, but you wouldn't know that these days since his existence is completely scrubbed from their website.

I had to transcribe this from an ancient printout my mom had. These are, without a doubt, the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had in my life. Any time my parents tried to tweak the recipe or use a different one they were never as good. This is the one you want.


Dough
  • 2 packetsĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā YeastĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā (note: one packet of yeast is typically 2 ¼ tsp, so you will need 4 ½ tsp)
  • ¾ cupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Warm Water
  • ¾ cupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Sugar
  • ½ cupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Vegetable Shortening (Melted)
  • ¼ cupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Butter (Melted)
  • 3Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Eggs
  • 1 ¼ cupsĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Whole milk
  • 6 cupsĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā High gluten or bread flour
  • 1 tspĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Kosher salt

Cinnamon Filling
  • 6 tbspĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Butter (melted)
  • ½ cupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Sugar
  • ¼ cupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbspĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ground cinnamon

Vanilla Glaze
  • ¾ CupĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tspĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Vanilla Extract
  • ?Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Milk – to desired consistency

In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In another bowl, combine sugar and eggs. Add the melted shortening, butter, and milk. Add yeast/water mixture and stir to combine. In a large bowl, stir flour and salt together. Add flour a cup at a time to the yeast mixture and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Knead mixture until semi-smooth. Transfer dough to a buttered bowl, cover and place in a warm spot to rise for one hour.

Roll out dough into a rectangle (approximately 24 inches by 10 inches) and to a thickness of ¼ to ½ inch. Brush dough with melted butter. In a bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture over melted butter, covering all the dough. Along long side of rectangle, roll the dough up, like a rug. Trim ends and slice rolls into 16 1 1/2-inch rounds. Dip both sides of rounds in cinnamon-sugar mixture and arrange on greased sheet pan or in 2 buttered large cast-iron frying pans, cover and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together powered-sugar, vanilla, and milk, until it forms a frosting at your desired consistency. Cover and set aside.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden

Cool for 5 minutes and drizzle with glaze.

In addition to this just being a really good recipe, I found out there's a few episodes of Taste with David Rosengarten on youtube.

But when 9/11 hit, there was a shift from fine dining to more comfort-based foods, opening the door for Deen to enter. Her first show, "Paula's Home Cooking," was a hit. The network quickly realized they could shift to tastes outside of just the coasts, and the public would, for lack of a better term, eat it right up.
