Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Well I’m not sure if it’s my fault or maybe the dough I used (organic) but this dough was SO dense and hard to work. It literally caused my big mixer to start smelling (like burning) when I moved it to medium speed. I had to mix it super low and eventually just take it out and do by hand because of the strain on my mixer. It was just so incredibly hard to work. I left in fridge over night and it took forever the next morning to roll out and it was near impossible. As it got warmer it got a little easier. I triple checked the ingredients to make sure I didn’t make a mistake. I hadn’t. They came up really puffed up but not fluffy. They were still pretty dense. I wasn’t loving the cream cheese frosting taste because cream cheese is sour and it changes the idea of the cinnamon roll. These took FORVER to make and I don’t think I will ever make them again. Just want to reiterate that it could have been my flour and not necessarily something wrong with the recipe, clearly others have had better luck.

This is a foolproof recipe, thank you so much for sharing. It has become a regular in our household during special occasions. I let it rise in the fridge overnight. I sometimes skip the butter or reduce it, and it is still quite good. It is wonderful with and without the icing. I am making this again tomorrow as a special request by my husband for his birthday, and I am going to double the dough and use half of it for your raspberry jam filled rolls. Thanks again for your wonderful recipes!

I made these for Thanksgiving breakfast. They turned out beautifully! I baked mine for 27 minutes. I used a probe thermometer to be sure the center roll came up to 190 degrees (per recommendation on another site). They were perfectly baked- lightly browned, interior done but tender and pillowy.
You can’t tell when they come out of oven, but there is a beautiful layer of caramelized, sticky cinnamon and sugar on the bottom of the rolls that is delicious and plenty sweet. The icing is great, but made these a little too sweet for me personally- my family compared them to Cinnabon rolls. Next time, I would either skip the icing or just do a very light layer of it.
We loved them. Great recipe and great instructions! :)

Very nice recipe, already made two times. The second time I reduced a little bit the sugar and salt.

These are dangerous , they just replaced my King Arthur recipe
Perfect dough

So easy and delicious! Simple changes we made: 1) omitted the salt for sodium restricted diet, 2) mixed the filling ingredients together (butter, sugar cinnamon) and spread on the dough; 3) used canned cream cheese frosting instead of making from scratch since we had it on hand and no plain cream cheese around.

I have been looking for a great cinnamon roll recipe. I think this is THE BEST cinnamon roll recipe: fluffy, not too sweet, just the right amount of cinnamon, great tips. I followed the recipe as instructed, no changes except I did not make the cream cheese frosting because I did not have the ingredients (sheltering at home). I made a simple glaze as I had those ingredients on hand. I like that it can be started the evening before and finished the next morning. DELICIOUS!!!
