One giant cinnamon roll is a perfect way to serve breakfast or brunch.  Cut a small sliver or a big slice and you still get all of the layers. This super giant whole wheat skillet cinnamon roll is a favorite!

   I have been seeing some really cute ways to do cinnamon rolls in skillets.  Some look like roses.  Some are folded over on themselves and placed in the skillet so no cinnamon shows, it’s like a surprise inside.  I had to get in on the action.  I mean any excuse to make cinnamon rolls is a good one, right?!

    So I decided to make one big massive 12″ skillet of cinnamon roll goodness!  I have been dying to make it for a couple of weeks now, but life has been so busy.  I was really excited that I finally got to it and it was worth the wait.  It was every bit as good as I thought it might be…

 

   It really is quite easy.  Be warned, the dough is still pretty loose after the knead.  That is ok.  The whole wheat flour just takes a little while to hydrate completely.  By the time the first rise is done, you will be amazed.

 

 

 

 

    It was actually really easy to work with.  I didn’t need a rolling pin to form my rectangle.  Just thirty seconds and a few nudges with my finger tips.  But it wasn’t sticky at all. 

 

  I didn’t flour my fingers, just the counter…  no muss, no fuss!  Spread the buttery, brown sugar and cinnamon mix over the dough and cut into strips.

 

 

    Start by rolling a strip to make the center.

 

 

 

  Then keep adding strips until you run out.

 

 

 

 

    Allow to rise until doubled in size (or wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge over night). 

 

 

 

 After the second rise, bake it up!

 

 

 

 

    Then drizzle with glaze and enjoy!

 

If you love skillet cinnamon rolls as much as I do, you’ll want one for every season! The pumpkin spice skillet cinnamon roll with maple brown butter glaze is perfect for fall and the strawberries and cream skillet roll is wonderful in the spring!
