January is National Bread Machine Baking Month

January is National Bread Machine Baking Month. What a perfect combination: cold, wintry days and warm, crusty homemade bread! January is a great month for comfort foods like stews, soups, chilis...and homemade bread is a perfect way to savor warming comfort foods!

I have a bread machine, but must confess that it is currently a bit dusty. However, I have found online many amazing recipes so that machine is coming out of the pantry and will be put into some serious action! Please feel free to leave comments or let me know if you have any special bread machine recipes that you would like to share with during National Bread Machine Baking Month!

Here is a super yummy breakfast treat from allrecipes that will be made so much easier with the help of a bread machine!

"You have got to try these. The first time I made them, I thought of how much money I could save by making my own!"

12 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Add to Recipe Box

DIRECTIONS:

Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.

After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.

Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
