Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 packets fast acting yeast
  • ¼ sugar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 cups unbleached flour

Filling 

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup melted butter

Icing 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Dough

  • In a medium bowl combine warm water and yeast, stir and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast looks frothy.
  • Add sugar, oil and flour to the yeast mixture.
  • Fold in the ingredients until a dough begins to form. Cover your hands in flour and use them to knead the dough and form a ball.
  • Cover the dough in the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot in your kitchen. I like to turn my stove light on and place bowl under the light.
  • Let the dough rise for 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Filling 

  • Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in bowl, mix to combine.
  • Cut the dough in half, working with only half at a time.
  • Roll the dough out into a rectangle.
  • Spread the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Repeat for second dough ball.
  • Roll the dough up lengthwise and cut into 1” pieces.
  • Spray a 8” round cake pan or push pan. Arrange the cinnamon roll rounds in the pan.
  • Set aside and let rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  • Cover the cinnamon rolls with a paper towel and then foil.
  • Place steamer rack upside down in the instant pot and add 2 cups of water.
  • Drop the pan into the Instant Pot.
  • Pressure cook for 24 minutes. Make sure the release valve is closed.

Icing 

  • Combine all three ingredients.
  • When the cinnamon rolls are done, smother the icing over the top while they are still warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Hint: we used a pizza dough recipe and adjusted the sugar to make the dough sweeter!
