Recipe Instructions:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Allow it to stand until creamy, approximately 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix and 3 cups of the all-purpose flour. Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the dough begins to come together.
- Once the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it until it becomes smooth and elastic, which should take about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough in it, turning it to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, approximately 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, deflate it and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface again. Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 10×16 inches.
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the rectangle of dough, then sprinkle it with the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. If desired, add raisins or nuts at this stage for extra flavor and texture.
- Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll up the rectangle into a log, then cut it into 1-inch wide rolls using a sharp knife.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the rolls for baking.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
- Pour the melted butter into a small bowl, and in another small bowl, mix together the white sugar and pecans (if using).
- Dip the top of each roll into the melted butter, then into the sugar and pecan mixture, ensuring they are well coated, and place them snugly into the prepared baking pan.
- Cover the rolls with a damp cloth once again and allow them to rise until they have doubled in volume, which should take approximately 30 minutes.
- Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness of these Quick-Rise Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls!
