These are pretty good! The sweet nutty filling is really yummy! I did have a little trouble with the dough. It came out of the bread machine very wet and sticky. I had to knead in another heaping 1/2 cup flour into it to make it workable. By the way, in step 1, it says to select the white bread button but on my machine, if I don't want it to bake the bread too, I press the dough cycle button. The cinnamon rolls came out pretty with nice sticky bottoms because of the greased and sugared pan. Next time, I'll use water or milk for the liquid in the icing instead of citrus juice - just a preference. Thanks for a nice recipe!

Oh, my GAWD, these are wonderful! They drew high praise from our houseguests, and starting them in the bread machine was so much easier than making cinnamon rolls by hand. The one change I might make is to add 1/2 t. or so salt to the dough, just because I'm a saltaholic - they were fantastic prepared as the recipe directs. I used 100% all-purpose flour instead of the bread flour/all-purpose mix, and they still turned out great. The citrus glaze was perfect - shiny and very professional-looking. Thanks, Elaine, for a recipe that will surely become a tradition for our family!
