I tried long and hard to find the ultimate gooey cinnamon bun recipe for bread machines...this is it. They are so soft, moist, and yummy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons water

- ½ (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ teaspoons bread machine yeast
- 1 cup packed brown sugar

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- ¼ cup raisins (optional)

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Directions
- Place milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter, water, beaten egg, bread flour, pudding mix, sugar, salt, and yeast in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle.
- Remove dough from machine after the cycle is done; knead 3 to 5 minutes. Roll out to a large rectangle. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, and cinnamon in a bowl; spread over dough. Sprinkle walnuts and raisins over top.
