Ah, cinnamon rolls—soft, sweet, and swirled with cinnamon sugar goodness! 🍩✨ They’re basically a sweet yeast bread rolled up with a cinnamon-sugar filling and usually topped with icing or glaze.
Basic Components:
- Dough – soft, slightly sweet, usually made with flour, yeast, milk, sugar, butter, and eggs.
- Filling – a mix of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Some people add nuts or raisins.
- Topping – classic icing is made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla; cream cheese frosting is another favorite.
How It Works:
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
- Spread the butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly.
- Roll the dough into a log, then cut into individual rolls.
- Place in a baking dish, let them rise, then bake until golden.
- Drizzle icing on top while still warm.
Fun Tips:
- For extra soft rolls, brush melted butter over the tops before baking.
- For a quick version, you can use store-bought crescent roll dough—still delicious!
