Ingredients
 

Jumbo Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 egg room temperature, preferably
  • 6-6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 tsp. instant yeast may use quick rise yeast if preferred

Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • ½ cup unsalted butter very softened
  • 1-2 Tbs. cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Creamy Jumbo Cinnamon Roll Icing

  • 2 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 4 Tbs. unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2-3 Tbs. milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
 

Make the Jumbo Homemade Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • Combine the milk, water, oil, 1/2 cup sugar and salt in microwave safe bowl; heat 1-2 minutes, until the temperature is to 120 – 130 degrees F. when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
  • While the liquids are heating in the microwave, measure 3 cups of flour into the bowl of a stand mixer; add the yeast, combining it well with the flour.
  • Pour the heated liquids into the flour/yeast mixture; using the whisk attachment, beat at medium speed for 30 seconds, then add the egg, beating one additional minute longer.
  • Switch from the whisk to the dough hook, adding the remaining 3 cups of flour; knead the dough for approx. 2-3 minutes if using a Kitchen Aid mixer, or, if using a Bosch mixer, knead the dough 1-2 minutes.
  • If the dough is still too sticky after adding the 6 cups of flour (as in it's still sticking to the side of the bowl), add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, just a little at a time, only adding as much flour as you need.
    **The dough should be soft and pliable, tacky to the touch, but not sticking to the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Place the cinnamon roll dough it into a large greased mixing bowl; let the dough raise until doubled in size, approx. 25-30 minutes or so.
    **Please Note: If you want to use the dough at a later time, the dough can go into the fridge at this time, or you can place the dough into the freezer to be thawed and used later on.)
  • Once the dough has raised, punch the dough down, then remove it from the bowl to a lightly floured work surface, allowing it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using your favorite rolling pin, roll the dough into a large rectangle, approx. 22"wide x 18" tall in size.
    **If you begin rolling the dough out into the rectangle shape and the dough keeps pulling back each time, let the dough rest for an additional 5-10 minutes. Once the dough has fully relaxed, it will roll out much more easily.
  • Spread the softened butter over the surface of dough; sprinkle the dough evenly with cinnamon, and then 1 cup sugar. Using your palms, lightly press down over the sugar to kind of "adhere" it to the dough a bit.
  • Using a pizza cutter, trim up the edges of the dough to make the sides straighter, if needed. Now cut the dough into half horizontally, then cut each half into 3 long horizontal strips.
  • Starting at one end, roll up one of the dough strips forming a cinnamon roll. Place each roll onto a large greased, rimmed baking sheet, making two rows of three rolls, for a total of 6 jumbo cinnamon rolls.
  • Let the rolls raise in a warm, draft-free place for 15-20 minutes.
    Bake in the preheated 350 degree F. oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F., continuing to bake the jumbo cinnamon rolls for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls cool for 5-10 minutes, then gently frost with the creamy icing. Serve warm!

To Make the Creamy Cinnamon Roll Icing

  • Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl until well combined and creamy.
  • Beat in the vanilla and milk, a little a time, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar and salt until the icing is smooth and fluffy.
