Cook Time

Cooking time for cinnamon pinwheels is approximately 25 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Mixer (optional)
  • Kneading surface
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter until warm (120-130°F).
  3. Add the warm liquid to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and 1/2 cup of flour, beat for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
  7. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  8. Punch the dough down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
  9. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  10. Roll up the dough tightly, starting with the long side. Pinch the seams to seal.
  11. Cut the roll into 12 slices and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  12. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  13. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  14. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.

Notes

Cinnamon pinwheels can be frozen after baking and reheated in the oven for a quick and easy breakfast or snack. They can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated overnight for an easy breakfast the next morning.
