Essential Ingredients for Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

This incredibly easy recipe utilizes your bread machine for the initial steps, requiring just a handful of simple ingredients.

• For the Bread Machine Dough:
  • 1 cup of susu (milk), warmed (not hot)
  • 1 large telur (egg), at room temperature
  • ¼ cup of mentega (butter), melted
  • ¼ cup of gula pasir (granulated sugar)
  • ½ teaspoon of garam (salt)
  • 3 cups of tepung terigu (all-purpose flour)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons of ragi instan (instant yeast)
• For the Cinnamon Filling:
  • 4 tablespoons of mentega (butter), softened
  • ½ cup of gula aren (brown sugar), packed
  • 2 tablespoons of kayu manis bubuk (ground cinnamon)
• For the Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 4 oz (½ block) of keju krim (cream cheese), softened
  • ¼ cup of mentega (butter), softened
  • 1 ½ cups of gula halus (powdered sugar), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon of ekstrak vanila (vanilla extract)

Ingredients Notes

A little more detail on our key ingredients will ensure your cinnamon rolls are a spectacular success.

• The Yeast: Instant yeast, also known as rapid-rise yeast, is ideal for bread machine recipes as it can be added directly to the dry ingredients without needing to be proofed first. You can easily find various brands of ragi instan in most Indonesian supermarkets.
• The Liquids: The susu (milk) should be warmed to lukewarm (not panas or hot), about the temperature you would give a baby’s bottle. This is the ideal temperature for activating the ragi (yeast). The telur (egg) should be at suhu ruangan (room temperature) for better incorporation into the dough.
• The Filling: The classic, gooey filling uses gula aren (brown sugar), which has a wonderful rich flavor that complements the kayu manis (cinnamon) beautifully. Make sure your mentega (butter) for the filling is softened to suhu ruangan (room temperature) so it spreads easily.
• The Cream Cheese Icing: Keju krim (cream cheese) is readily available in larger supermarkets here in Indonesia. Make sure both the keju krim and mentega for the icing are fully softened to suhu ruangan (room temperature) to ensure a smooth and lump-free hasil (result).

How to Let Your Bread Machine Do the Hard Work

Let’s walk through the incredibly simple steps to creating these perfect, automated cinnamon rolls.

• Step 1: Add Ingredients to the Bread Machine. Follow the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer for adding ingredients. Typically, you would add the wet ingredients first (warmed susu, telur, melted mentega), followed by the dry ingredients (gula pasir, garam, tepung terigu), and finally, sprinkle the ragi instan on top of the tepung (flour).
• Step 2: Select the “Dough” Setting. Close the lid of your bread machine and select the “dough” setting. This setting will automatically mix and knead the dough, followed by a rise cycle that usually lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours. Press start and let your machine do its magic.
• Step 3: Shape the Rolls. Once the dough cycle is complete, carefully remove the dough from the bread machine pan and place it on a lightly floured permukaan (surface). Gently roll the dough out into a large rectangle. Spread the softened mentega for the filling evenly all over the surface. In a small mangkuk (bowl), mix together the gula aren and kayu manis bubuk, and then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the mentega.
• Step 4: Roll and Slice. Tightly roll the dough up into a long log and use a pisau tajam (sharp knife) or benang gigi tanpa rasa (unflavored dental floss) to carefully slice the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
• Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection. Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased loyang kue (baking pan) (a 9×13 inch pan or a round cake pan works well). Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kain (cloth) and let them rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes while you panaskan oven (preheat your oven) to 190°C (375°F). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are a beautiful warna cokelat keemasan (golden brown) on top.
• Step 6: Make the Icing and Serve. While the rolls are baking, prepare your cream cheese icing by mengocok (beating) the softened keju krim and mentega together until halus (smooth), then kocok (beat) in the gula halus and ekstrak vanila. If the icing is too thick, add a tiny bit of susu or krim (cream) until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Step 7: Ice the Rolls and Enjoy. Let the rolls cool for about 10 minutes in the loyang (baking pan). Spread the delicious cream cheese icing generously all over the top of the hangat (warm) cinnamon rolls and sajikan segera (serve immediately).

Storage Options

These delicious bread machine cinnamon rolls are at their absolute best when they are disajikan (served) hangat (warm) from the oven. If you have any sisa (leftovers), you can menyimpannya (store them) in a wadah kedap udara (airtight container) at suhu ruangan (room temperature) for up to 3 hari (days). To menghangatkan kembali (reheat), you can simply hangatkan (warm them) in the microwave for about 20-30 detik (seconds).

Variations and Substitutions

This incredibly simple recipe is a perfect dasar (base) for your own creative tambahan (additions). You can menambahkan (add) about a cup of cincangan kacang pecan atau walnut (chopped pecans or walnuts) to the kayu manis dan gula aren filling for a tekstur renyah (crunchy texture). For a cita rasa (flavor) yang berbeda (different), feel free to menambahkan rempah-rempah hangat lainnya (add other warm spices) like a little bit of kapulaga (cardamom) or pala (nutmeg) to your filling. Anda juga bisa menambahkan kulit jeruk parut (you can also add orange zest) to the dough or the icing for a cita rasa jeruk yang cerah (bright citrusy flavor).

Practical & Valuable Tips

Make sure your cairan (liquids) are lukewarm, not panas (hot), to avoid killing the ragi (yeast). Follow the ingredient order recommended for your specific bread machine model. When rolling up the adonan (dough) into a log, try to menggulungnya dengan rapat (roll it tightly) to create pusaran yang indah (beautiful swirls). Finally, for that sempurna (perfect), lengket (gooey), meleleh (melty) icing experience, be sure to mengoleskan icing (spread the icing) on the rolls while they are masih hangat (still warm) from the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast in my bread machine? Yes, you can, but you will need to activate it first. Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm susu with a teaspoon of the gula pasir and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy before adding it to the bread machine.
2. My bread machine has a specific time for the “dough” cycle. Should I adjust that? It’s best to stick with the bread machine’s pre-programmed dough cycle. These cycles are designed to provide the optimal mixing, kneading, and rising time for a standard batch of dough.
3. The dough seems very soft after the bread machine cycle. Is that normal? Yes, the dough for cinnamon rolls is typically quite soft and slightly sticky, which contributes to the tender texture of the baked rolls. Just be sure to flour your work surface well when you are rolling it out.
4. What is the best way to cut the soft cinnamon roll dough cleanly after it comes out of the bread machine? A brilliant and easy trick is to use a piece of benang gigi tanpa rasa (unflavored dental floss). Simply slide the floss under the log, bring the two ends up, cross them over the top, and tarik (pull) to create a perfect, clean slice without squishing the dough.
5. Can I freeze these cinnamon rolls after they are baked? Yes, these freeze well after baking. Let them cool completely, then wrap them individually or in a freezer-safe container. To thaw, simply leave them at room temperature or gently reheat them in the oven or microwave.
