Yield 8 cinnamon rolls Print Recipe Pin Recipe 0 Reviews IngredientsDough1/2 cup milk1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast1/4 cup granulated sugar1 large egg3 tablespoons salted butter, melted2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1/4 cup for rolling)1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking sodaFor the filling:4 Tbsp butter (melted)2 Tbsp cinnamon½ tsp allspice¼ cup sugar½ cup raisinsFrosting2 cups powdered sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract4 tablespoons milk InstructionsMake the dough: Start by warming the milk to 110-115°F. Add yeast, stir once or twice and then let sit for 5-10 minutes until it is foamy.Pour milk and yeast mixture into a large mixing bowl and add in the sugar and egg and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.Next add in the melted butter and stir, and then add in the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir until the dough comes together. It will be a slightly wet and sticky dough. Form dough into a ball and put it on a floured board or surface. Cover with a towel while making the Filling.Make the Filling: Mix all ingredients together and stir until combined.Gently roll out into a rectangle shape (12-14 inches long by 8 inches wide).Spread the filling onto the dough with a spatula, and then carefully-yet-tightly- roll the dough along the long side.Cut the dough into 8 pieces (a pizza cutter works great for this.) Line your slow cooker with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.Gently place formed rolls in the bottom of your slow cooker, leaving a little space in between them.Place a layer of paper towels under the lid (important step, you don’t want the condensation dripping onto your dough) and cover the slow cooker.Turn on high and cook for 2 hours.When the hot cross bun cinnamon rolls are done (they will be slightly brown around the edges) carefully remove the parchment paper from the slow cooker and set them on a board.Make the frosting by stirring all the ingredients in a bowl and pour it over the warm rolls – OR – pipe a cross on each roll (add additional powdered sugar or less milk to get desired consistency) for the ‘Hot Cross Bun’. Gently break the cinnamon rolls apart and serve warm! NotesRecipe by Sweet Phi. Did you make this recipe? We want to see it! Tag @redstaryeast and use hashtag #redstaryeast
