I want to make cinnamon rolls. I don’t want to make my standard rolls, which are basically like a slightly sweet bread with cinnamon, sugar, butter and raisins all rolled into it. I wanna make cinnamon rolls like the local Belgian Bakery makes 'em - incredibly goooey, with a bread that is eggy, buttery, and generally uberyummy. The bread is the key here - I’m not sure what to call it, but it’s somehow richer and eggier than my normal cinnamon roll recipe. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Anyone have a recipe?
You mean cimmeron rolls?*
- Ref to Jack Benny running gag
I have never tried this recipe, but I have often wanted to.
It just seems so hard. I don’t even know if we have a bread maker. (My roommate has something. It is either a bread maker, or a pasta maker.)
Anyway, it is a copy cat recipe of the Cinnabons that can find at many malls and airports. Those are really yummy. I don’t know if they are exactly like the Belgian Bakery types you are referring to, but they are much richer and more yummified than standard cinnamon rolls.
Hope it helps.

ps:
If you make it, and it is really really good. Post about it, so I have even more incecntive to try and make it.
I made this clone of a cinnabon recipe using my bread machine. They turned out delicious.

Sorry but I’m not sure what you are talking about when you mention your Belgian bakery. Because, for me, it’s all about the icing.
On a related note - a great version of cinnamon rolls is to take a piece of pie dough and slather butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on it (you can add raisins or nuts, too), roll it, cut it, and bake it until flaky, golden brown. These taste fabulous - I’ve started making them with frozen pie dough (after it’s thawed, of course) - very easy and good.
