Ala bala portocala...

I found this recipe here. It's called Clone of a Cinnabon and it got a lot of great reviews and all 5 stars, so that I decided to try it. It was delicious. I just changed one thing-added a little more margarine than required. The first time I tried it I found it a little dry.

I copied the recipe straight from the original.


Ingredients

For the dough
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted(I used 1/2 cup)
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast


1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened


Directions

1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
2. After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

I didn't use the frosting the recipe called for, because personally, I don't care for frosting. I believe they are sweet enough as they are.

Sora mea a facut aceasta budinca. E un mod delicios de a intrebuinta painea veche.

Ingrediente:
1/2 kg paine mai veche taiata in bucati
1 l lapte fierbinte
5 oua batute
2 cani zahar
extract de vanilie(sau zahar vanilat)
1 ceasca stafide
2-3 lg sos de mere(daca aveti)
scortisoara (dupa gust)
migdale feliate

Incalziti cuptorul in prealabil la 180 grade. Intr-un castron mai mare, turnati laptele fierbinte peste paine. Amestecati ouale cu zaharul, sosul de mere, scortisoara si vanilia. Adaugati compozitia la painea cu lapte si amestecati. Adaugati stafidele si amestecati din nou.
Ungeti o tava cu margarina si puneti compozitia in tava. Presarati migdalele taiate.. Se da la cuptor vreo 40 minute sau pana apare maro-aurie si inchegata. Se serveste fierbinte sau rece.
