Cinnamon Rolls for Two? Small Batch is For You

Get the recipe: bakewith.us/SmBatchCinnRollsYT
Ever find yourself wanting just a couple of cinnamon rolls rather than a full-size batch? Soft, tender, and brimming with cinnamon flavor, these small-batch cinnamon rolls are ideal for small households. With a yield of just two cinnamon rolls, there’s lots of flexibility to use whatever pan you have: a quarter-sized baking sheet, a loaf pan, a round cake pan, or a square pan. These cinnamon rolls also fit perfectly in a countertop oven, providing another easy way to bake no matter the size of your kitchen.

I find the best use for small batch yeasted breads is when trying out new recipes with expensive ingredients otherwise the time/effort/heating oven to make 8 or 12 rolls is about the same as making 2 (for me anyway). Add nuts, fruit, chocolate, cheese, anything that needs lots of peeling or prepping then small batches make a lot more sense. I guess there is one more advantage....It would limit me to eating only 2 cinnamon roles per day instead of 8 ;-). Small batch quick breads(muffins, cakes, cookies etc) go for it!

Hello Kai, I enjoyed watching your small batch cinnamon rolls so much. I recently purchased the Broad and Taylor proof box and I am excited about trying it, and having better results with my yeast baking. I do live by myself and would like to know if you can start to make more videos of smaller batch yeast, recipes. Any rolls or bread or desserts you get to adapt to the smaller recipe. Would be amazing .I can try my new proof box and work on small batches to share with two or four people. I am not always invited out to a gathering or party and it would seem nice to have a few of these recipes and they probably will not take all day like my past experiences with yeast. Any recipes will be greatly appreciated.😊😊

Can you please do a plant-based whole grain version of this recipe? Thanks. Note: I use King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour for all my whole-grain wheat recipes.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Thanks for baking with us, Tammy! 😄 To make it plant-based, substitute the milk and butter for plant-milk and plant-butter. We find that Miyoko and Earth Balance are best for butters, and any plant-based milk will do well. Making this whole-grain, the liquid in the recipe would be increased (I'd say from the 1/3 cup of milk to 1/2 cup); rise-time may take a little longer, as well. Please let us know how it goes! 😊 -🥐Lily

[@Serai3]

The written recipe is confusing on the question of overnighting the shaped rolls. Are we to let the rolls rise before putting them in the fridge or after? The whole rising step seems to be skipped in the end notes if we want to make the dough for the next day, so which is it?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

The rising happens in the fridge overnight. So, instead of covering the rolls and setting them at room-temp the day-of, the rolls proof slowly in the fridge over the night. Allowing the rolls to sit for 15min in the morning offers an additional rise-time and more so to warm up for a better bake. Hoping this helps! -🥐Lily

[@heatherz4631]

Small batch baking is great in theory but maybe not such a good use of natural resources. Be kind to mother nature. Consider adding on when already using your oven or perhaps consider a counter top oven that requires less energy than a traditional oven. I hope bakers don't use precious energy to bake two cinnamon rolls and nothing more, that would be very sad, i.e., selfish, indeed.
