There are a few tips to remove any fear you may have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Type of yeast.<\/strong> You can use active dry yeast or instant yeast in this recipe. Active dry yeast requires proofing and may take slightly longer to rise than instant yeast. Instant yeast has smaller particles, and it doesn&#8217;t require proofing. It can be mixed directly into dry ingredients as well. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freshness. <\/strong>You&#8217;ll want fresh yeast for the best rise in your cinnamon rolls. Check the expiration date on your yeast container or packet to make sure that it is in date. I generally like to purchase fresh yeast right before the holiday season to know my yeast is as fresh as possible before our holiday baking begins! \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temperature.<\/strong> We sprinkle our yeast, along with a little sugar to feed the yeast, over milk that has been heated to 110\u00ba F. We like to check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer to make sure that it is at that temperature before adding our yeast. A temperature of more than 110\u00ba F will kill the yeast. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proof.<\/strong> If using active dry yeast, you&#8217;ll proof your yeast. If using instant yeast, skip this step. Once your active dry yeast and sugar are added to the warmed milk, it will begin to bubble and froth. This is proof that your yeast is active and will cause the dough to rise when baked. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-ingredients-needed-for-the-dough\">Other Ingredients Needed for the Dough:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Milk:<\/strong>&nbsp;I recommend using whole milk for the best cinnamon rolls. You can also use half and half, buttermilk, non-dairy milk, and 2% milk. Remember that your milk must be heated to the proper temperature to encourage and not kill your yeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sugar:<\/strong>&nbsp;Granulated sugar is needed to feed the yeast in the dough and also lends flavor and structure to the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Butter:<\/strong>&nbsp; You can use salted or unsalted butter. I tend to keep salted butter on hand more than unsalted and use it with great success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Salt:<\/strong>&nbsp;The salt enhances the flavor of the dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eggs:<\/strong>&nbsp;This recipe uses two large eggs. I recommend having them at room temperature for easier mixing into the dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flour:<\/strong>&nbsp;Flour provides the structure for the dough. We use all-purpose flour for this dough. If you use a whole-wheat or other flour combination, the baked cinnamon rolls may be a bit denser or chewier and not as tender as with all-purpose flour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The recipe calls for 4 1\/2 cups of flour, but you should note that the amount of flour in any yeast dough recipe may need to be adjusted slightly depending on the weather, humidity, etc. We generally use 4 1\/2 cups of all-purpose flour but may need to add a bit more, a tablespoon at a time, for the dough to form the perfect yeast dough ball. The dough should be tender, smooth, and resilient. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mixing-the-yeast-dough\">Mixing the Yeast Dough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe does not require a stand mixer to make delicious cinnamon rolls, although you certainly can use one if you prefer. You can easily mix the yeast dough by hand or with a stand mixer. Either method works well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002.jpg\" alt=\"Mixing the yeast in glass bowl with spoon.\" class=\"wp-image-62561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-276x414.jpg 276w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-128x192.jpg 128w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-378x567.jpg 378w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-700x1049.jpg 700w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Add-a-Pinch_Cinnamon-Rolls_002-1025x1536.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"795\" src=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Cinnamon-Rolls-Recipe-Make-the-dough-collage-1.jpg\" alt=\"Two photos in collage showing process of making Cinnamon Roll recipe - Photo on left shows proofed yeast in glass bowl with melted butter, salt and eggs added and mixed.

For the cinnamon roll filling, you&#8217;ll need just <strong>three ingredients<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Using very soft butter that is at room temperature is perfect for the filling. It will easily spread onto your cinnamon roll dough without pulling the dough. This is one of the most important steps to the BEST cinnamon rolls, I think. If you need it, you can use my <a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/how-to-soften-butter\/\">How to Soften Butter<\/a> tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brown Sugar:<\/strong> We love to use dark brown sugar for the filling for the classic cinnamon roll flavor and the additional richness it gives these rolls! You can use light or dark brown sugar based on your personal preference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cinnamon:<\/strong> Fresh ground cinnamon adds so much flavor to this recipe.

Take care not to overbake your rolls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they are baking, prepare your frosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the frosting:<\/strong> We prefer to use our favorite cream cheese frosting. To make it, you&#8217;ll need softened butter, confectioner&#8217;s sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix all together until creamy, light, and fluffy. Spread on top of the slightly warm cinnamon rolls with the frosting. The frosting will seep into the warm rolls to make them even more scrumptious!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage-tips\">Storage Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-ahead-cinnamon-rolls\">Make Ahead Cinnamon Rolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I love make-ahead cinnamon rolls! While they aren&#8217;t challenging to make, it is wonderful to have the make-ahead option during the busy holiday season or even for a simple weekend breakfast or brunch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baked Make-Ahead Cinnamon Rolls:<\/strong> These cinnamon rolls keep well on the counter for up to 3 days. Simply cover them and keep them in a cool, dry place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unbaked Make-Ahead Cinnamon Rolls:<\/strong> I am often asked if you can keep the unbaked cinnamon rolls in the refrigerator overnight and then bake them the following day. Yes! You sure can! We love to prepare them on Christmas Eve and then bake them fresh on Christmas morning! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, simply skip the second rise of the dough, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. Then, bake them fresh when you plan to serve them. They will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days but are best cooked within 48 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When ready to bake, remove them from the refrigerator as your oven is preheating, and then bake, frost, and serve!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-freeze-cinnamon-rolls\">How to Freeze Cinnamon Rolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinnamon rolls freeze perfectly in a couple of different ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To freeze unbaked cinnamon rolls<\/strong>. Place the cut rolls into buttered, freezer-safe pans and cover tightly with plastic wrap followed by foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator to thaw. Once defrosted, bake as directed and frost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To freeze<\/strong> <strong>baked cinnamon rolls<\/strong>, frosted or unfrosted. Bake as directed. Let them cool completely and store a freezer-safe container or bags. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator. Heat the rolls in a 300\u00ba F oven or microwave until warmed as desired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cinnamon Rolls with Raisins<\/strong> &#8211; Raisins are optional for the filling. If you are dividing the dough, it is excellent to make some with raisins and some without depending on personal preference. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s Bart&#8217;s Cinnamon Roll Recipe.
