My twist of a popular Cinnamon Buns recipe that uses your bread machine for the dough and contains pudding mix for a soft, sweet dough...I was out of vanilla pudding mix, but happened upon some coconut cream flavored pudding and, well, things just kept going from there!
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk (milk w/ 1 tbsp vinegar works fine) shopping list
- 1 egg, beaten shopping list
- 4 Tbsp butter, melted shopping list
- 4 Tbsp. water shopping list
- 1/2 3.5 oz. coconut cream pudding mix shopping list
- 4 cups bread flour * shopping list
- 1 Tbsp white sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast shopping list
- 1/2 cup butter, softened shopping list
- 1 cup packed brown sugar shopping list
- 2 tsp. cinnamon shopping list
- 1 tsp. allspice shopping list
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg shopping list
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans shopping list
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar shopping list
- 4 Tbsp butter, softened shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla shopping list
- 1 to 2 tsp milk shopping list
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut shopping list
How to make it
- Follow your bread machine instruction recommendations (usually liquids first, dry ingredients, yeast last) and place buttermilk, egg, melted butter, water, pudding mix, flour. sugar, salt and yeast in bread machine. Select Dough cycle.
- Remove dough and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. Roll into a large rectangle, approximately 18" to 20" long. In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Spread over dough. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and pecans. Starting at wide end, roll dough into log; pinch to seal seams. With serrated knife, cut into 1" slices and place in buttered 9" x 13" baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Meanwhile, combine 4 Tbsp softened butter, confectioner's sugar, vanilla and just enough milk to make a thick, spreadable frosting. Let buns cool for a few minutes, then top with frosting and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Makes 18 cinnamon buns.
- *Note about bread flour: I never, ever think to buy bread flour, which is basically flour with a higher amount of gluten. There are two ways to sub regular all-purpose flour for bread flour: for every 1 cup of flour, add 1 tsp. vital wheat gluten OR for every 1 cup of flour, add an additional 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour. Either way will get you where you want to be! :)
