How To Make Giant Cinnamon Roll Without Yeast?
- Preheat the oven to 365°F (185°C), and grease a round 9-inch round cast iron skillet, cake pan, or glass pie dish with butter.
- Prepare the dough: Add the dough ingredients into a bowl of a stand mixer, attach the hook and mix the dough on low speed for 4 minutes, then increase the speed and mix for additional 7-8 minutes. The dough should be fully developed with a sheen to it.
- Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 12×16-inch in size.
- Make the filling: Combine the cinnamon, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Spread the softened butter all over the top of the dough leaving the edges of the top of the dough unbuttered.
- Sprinkle the top of the butter with the cinnamon mixture, and slightly press it down.
- Starting with the dough side that is closest to you, tightly roll the dough into a log resembling a coil, and pinch the ends to seal the seam.
- Using a scraper or knife, cut the curled dough into 6 rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls with the cut part facing upward into the greased baking dish. Start by placing one in the center, and the others around it leaving a 1 1/2-inch space between each of them.
- Bake the giant cinnamon bun cluster: Place the baking pan into the preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes or until golden brown in color. The internal temperature of the baked cinnamon buns should be above 195°F or (90°C).
- Once baked, remove the buns from the oven, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Prepare the Icing: In a medium size, add the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixer is creamy and smooth. You can also use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Once the giant cinnamon bun cluster has cooled down, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and serve warm.
