Steps:

• Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Heat milk and butter chunks in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter has melted and mixture is 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
• Pour warm milk mixture into the yeast mixture and beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Add 1 cup flour and egg; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups flour and knead until smooth. Knead for an additional 10 minutes, gradually adding in remaining 1/4 cup flour. Shape dough into a ball.
• Grease a bowl and place dough inside. Turn dough over so the greased side is facing up, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to an 8x24-inch rectangle and spread with softened butter. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over top and then sprinkle with walnuts and raisins.
• Roll dough into a 24-inch log, starting at the long edge closest to you. Slice log lengthwise down the middle, making two 24-inch long strips of dough. Place dough strips next to each other with cut sides facing up. Press together one set of ends and twist strips around each other tightly, keeping cut sides up. Pinch ends together to secure.
• Slice twisted log into 6 pieces and press ends together firmly. Place in the prepared baking pan and press down to ensure rolls are an even height. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
• Mix confectioners' sugar and water together to a drizzling consistency, and drizzle over warm rolls.

GIANT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Generously butter a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or cake pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95 grams) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, spreading right to the edges.
• Using a pizza cutter, make 3 horizontal cuts to divide the dough into 4 long, evenly-sized strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip, starting again on the right side and rolling up right to left, building on the first. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
• Place the giant cinnamon roll in the prepared skillet or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The cinnamon roll should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
• While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, remove from the pan and drizzle the frosting over the roll before serving.
• Enjoy!
