    2. What type of mixer are you using? I have a 5 qt kitchen aide and this about climbed out of the bowl. They came out Delicious but I would love to know what mixer you are using because I make a lot of homemade bread and pasta.

    3. The same thing happened to me... I ended up making cinnamon buns instead because the roll part just wasnt working out. Unfortunate...

    4. I buttered my hands and counter in order to reduce the stickiness. Adding flour also helped with the sticky dough problem.

  2. Thanks so much, Camille! And I'm glad you are going to be doing this again. It was fun! I thought it would be a good idea to do this as an RS activity every few months. It was fun to watch the recipe being made instead of just getting a recipe. I learned all your awesome techniques besides enjoyed a yummy cinnamon roll. Thanks!

  16. I must admit, I didn't think this would be one hour start to finish - but it was! And the cinnamon rolls were perfect and delicious! Thanks for your recipe and detailed instructions. This is one of our new favorites that I'll probably be making weekly!

  17. I am making them now...at the "let them rise" part before baking..usually how long is that? I can wait till they are done :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. So I just finished putting these together and they are waiting to go in the oven. My dough seems too soft. They aren't holding their shape and look like big blobs on the pan! Any ideas what I did wrong? I'm not a very experienced bread maker as you can probably tell!

    1. A tip I use when making rolls, is when it comes time to divide the log, I use a think strand of sewing thread. Score/mark the log into your 12 pieces & then slide the thread under the log at each score, bring the ends up & pull in opposite directions as if you were going to tie the string. The thread will make a very clean cut for you without smashing the log as a knife might do. Makes it fast & easy & works every time. Just make sure you roll the log snug enuf first and then pinch the seam so it has a good seal. Then slice. Hope this helps. =)

      Delete
    2. I use a length of dental floss to cut the rolls ... this way the dough does not stick to the thread. It's worth a try and works every time.

      Also try a savoury filling and sprinkle some grated cheese over. Great snack.

    3. I haven't tried this recipe yet but I use a pizza cutter to cut similar doughs .

  31. Thank you for sharing your cinnamon roll recipe. :) I have yet to compare it to my own go-to recipe, but the concept of cutting the time in half appeals to me! For those inquiring about a half recipe (1 doz. large)--


    Dough, part 1:

    1 3/4 c. warm water (110° F)
    1/4 c. + 2 T. white sugar
    1/4 c. canola oil
    3 T. instant yeast


    Dough, part 2:

    1 1/2 tsp. salt
    2 eggs
    5 1/4 c. all-purpose flour


    Cinnamon-Sugar:

    1/2 c. white sugar
    1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon


    Icing:

    1/2 stick butter (1/4 c.)
    dash of salt
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    3 c. confectioner's sugar
    milk to desired consistency

  32. I tried this. I opted out of using the oil, and used flour instead, and it worked great!

  33. Do these freeze well? And if so, do you freeze them before they rise, or bake them and put them in the freezer with/without icing? Wanting to make them ahead of time to take to the beach for vacation.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I have never frozen them, so I don't know.

      Delete
    2. Freeze before you bake them. Start on a cookie sheet first until frozen through, about an hour; then move to a ziptop bag for storage. Pull them out the night before and set them on/in the baking dish and let them rise. Next morning, bake as usual.

      I've done this with multiple cinnamon roll recipes and they come out great!

    1. You may have killed your yeast. When putting everything in the bowl if should go in this order: water, yeast, eggs, flour, salt sugar, and oil. When salt and sugar come in contact with yeast the yeast dies. Also, the water temp should not be too high either because that can kill the yeast too. And if you add the oil too soon your gluten won't have time to develop, so fat should go last. Hope this helps :)

      Delete
    2. Generally, it is high temperature that kills yeast, which is a microorganism. Sugar and salt will not kill yeast on contact. Sugar actually feeds the yeast, while salt controls yeast development. It could also be that the yeast had "expired" due to age. You can "proof" your yeast by testing in a small amount of yeast in a bowl with some water, let set for about 5 minutes and see if there is any foaming or bubble formation....adding a pinch of sugar will increase carbon dioxide development.

  39. Do you freeze these? If so, do you freeze them before they rise, or bake them and put them in the freezer with/without icing? I have never frozen before they rise. Looking for the best way to enjoy them.

  40. If I split the recipe in half will I get 12 rolls instead of 24?

    ReplyDelete
  41. When letting rise right before baking, how long does that take? I understand it depends on how large you want them but if you could tell me how long you let yours rise in the tutorial that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. You can freeze cinnamon rolls before or after you bake and frost them. If you freeze before baking do it before they rise and then take out of freezer and either put in fridge the night before to thaw or just take out and put on counter to thaw and rise. Bake and ice. You can also bake them and freeze them and ice after they thaw or you can bake and ice them first before freezing. I prefer to freeze them before baking if you have the time, otherwise the other ways are fine.

  45. Can you tell me how many yeast packets do I use? I am using Red Star Quick Rise yeast instant dry yeast. The packets say 1 packet = 2 and 1/4 teaspoons. If I did my math correctly it says to use 8 packets for the 6 tablespoons of yeast. I never buy the yeast in the jar.

    1. I never buy the packets, so I don't know. Sorry.

  55. Thank you so much for this recipe. I just stumbled across it on Pinterest this morning - and I've already made them! These are THE BEST cinnamon rolls I've ever made or have eaten!!! And by far the easiest to make. Thanks again!

  57. My amazing neighbor just made some today and brought some to me. Wow...these were delicious!!! But she made this recipe into 48 rolls, and they were still a very nice size. For the person wondering about the calories, I calculated about 225 calories for that size cinnamon roll, so that would be 450 calories if you make this recipe into 24 rolls. Worth. Every. Single. Calorie.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I have been making these for years but we called them 60 minute cinnamon rolls. I have my students make these as well for the last day of the bread unit. They love them! One thing that I teach my kids is to use dental floss to cut the rolls because then they are all uniform and don't rise so much in the middle (and dry out). My recipe says to let them rest for five minutes then roll out, let them rise for 15 minutes and then bake.

    ReplyDelete
  59. THANK YOU! AWESOME CINNAMON ROLLS!

  76. I just made these and they are quite delicious! My dough still stuck to the counter even though I oiled it. I ended up dusting the counter with flour and had no more problems. I've never made homemade cinnamon rolls so fast! Next time I'll definitely only make half a batch. They rolls are HUGE and the bread is tender and sweet. I might add some extra cinnamon next time and maybe do 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar for the filling. Thanks for such a fantastic and quick recipe!

      Yeast is what you use to make dough rise for bread. If you'd like, tell me where you're from and I can help you figure out what yeast is called where you are. Good luck!!

  91. At my own fault, I had the worst experience making these cinnamon rolls. I mistakenly read 1/2 cup warm water at the very beginning, leaving my dough short of 3 cups of liquid. Realized it after I added the last set of ingredients, tried adding the water later, just about killed my home-grade Kitchenaid trying to mix up this double batch, the dough was looking good, but when I took it out it was a big sticky, oozing mess. Lots of dry clumps were stuck to the bottom of the bowl. At least it didn't waste all of my day, only about an hour! I'll definitely try it again the RIGHT way. Thought I'd share my humorous experience!

  92. My dough is way too sticky and runny... I can't even roll up the dough to make the rolls. This was not a very good experience.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. My dough was also too sticky and runny. This recipe would have been a disaster however I added extra flour until the dough was easier to handle. This worked out great and they ended up fantastic. Flour measuring methods differ and so can climate when working with yeast-flour baking. Don't be afraid to gradually add more flour or liquid as opposed to being unhappy or ruining an otherwise fine recipe.

      Delete
    2. Add more flour next time. Every kind of flour has different moisture contents.

    I tried these tonight. I followed the halved recipe exactly and came out with runny, too sticky dough like some of the others. I was able to pat it out in a square and then roll it up as best I could, but I definitely think I should have added more flour or something. By this point, it was too late, so I just stuck them in the oven as big globs. They didn't really rise or brown on top. They are definitely still edible, but are more like a cinnamon bread, instead of gooey, pull-apart rolls. I'm not sure what I did wrong, because I read all of the comments first and followed the advice listed as far as not killing the yeast and such. Oh well, maybe it's because I live in Morocco and our yeast is different. I will probably try again and add some more flour. I just wanted a little taste of home!!! Better luck next time.

  98. Thanks for the recipe! I halved the recipe and it worked out great! :) Quick and easy, as advertised. I'm going to try and find a less sweet filling recipe with a stronger cinnamon flavor, but this is definitely my go-to cinnamon roll recipe now. Thanks again.

  101. I am making these for a very special birthday girl today. Jenni L. turns 19 years old today and she has had a very busy year helping her Mom with her younger siblings as her sister has been in and out of the hospital. Thank you so much for the recipe I made it for my three kids a week ago and they are amazing rolls. The posters that are commenting that the dough is too moist need to remember that all flour contains different amounts of moister and the baker needs to add extra flour to compensate. ~~Kim

  103. Do you use your dough hook or regular mixer paddle for this recipe?

    ReplyDelete
  104. Would it be possible to make the dough the night before and then cook them in the morning, or would that ruin the dough? Thanks!

  106. Trying recipe for the first time - dough is VERY sticky so like others hope it turns out. Dough is in the process of rising (I hope). All of the previous comments were helpful so appreciate others taking the time to comment. Can hardly wait to taste the results!

  107. Just made these this morning. Delicious! I added a little orange zest to the frosting because I didn't have any oj concentrate and it was very tasty. Thanks for posting your recipe.

  108. Just made up a batch of these -- by hand, rolled and cut -- and they are in fridge waiting to be baked first thing in the morning. Dough was really soft, but in my experience, that is a very good thing! Cannot wait to bite into one!!

  118. I'm stunned at how easily this recipe came together. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family owned a bakery when I was young and they are not easily impressed with my baking efforts. Until now, that is. I blew them away with this recipe. Even my 86 y/o mother approved. That's a first! Bless you for sharing.

  119. Found this recipe on Pinterest and finally decided to try it out this morning. My fiancé is sitting here with a very content smile on his face... they're a huge hit. I cut the recipe to a third, still ended up with 10 rolls. I found that oiling up my hands, my length of dental floss, and my work surface kept the very-sticky dough from sticking to everything. They did look like big blobs, but they are VERY TASTY big blobs. SOOOO glad I pinned this recipe. THANK YOU!

  120. My kids came home from school as I was taking them out of the oven and immediately their mouths were watering as they smelled so good. Very thorough instructions & pictures....reminded me of the rolls school made when I was a kid. Thank you for posting this recipe...one that will be passed down to future generations in my family

  126. 6T seems like a lot of yeast? I cut it down to 3 pakages they rised nicely. I got 3 pans out of this recipe. Total of 36 rolls. Anxious to see how they turn out.

  127. With the icing, if you find that you've added to much milk, just add in a bit more powdered sugar:)

  131. These look great and I like how little time is involved; but
    Has anyone used this dough recipe to make sticky buns?

    ReplyDelete
  132. Just made these. As others have stated the dough was extremely sticky. I rolled the first half out as instructed and almost didn't get them rolled up, cut and in the pan. The second half I dusted the dough and counter with flour and had better luck getting them to roll and hold together. With that being said, they turned out BIG and tasty!! I think with a little tweeking I can make this work. I will need to get a bigger Kitchen Aid, was not able to let it mix for the full 10 min, had to stop it at 5 min because it was getting hot. All in all a good recipe!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
