HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS // STEP BY STEP // SOFT AND FLUFFY

Hey Everyone! I am going to show you how to make THE BEST cinnamon rolls you will EVER taste!! It took me years to make this recipe perfect...from the silky smooth delicious frosting, to the soft and fluffy bread filled with brown sugar and cinnamon. I will show you step by step this no-fail recipe! Let's do this!!
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls:
For the Dough:
1 cup warm milk
2 1/2 tsp. instant dry yeast
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1/3 cup melted butter
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
For the Filling:
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
2 TBSP. cinnamon
Set aside:
1/2 cup heavy cream ( for pouring over rolls before baking)
For the frosting:
6 oz. cream cheese (very soft)
1/3 cup soft butter
1/4-1/2 TBSP. maple extract
2 cups powdered sugar
Pour warmed milk into a bowl or mixer. Add yeast and mix. Add eggs, butter, salt and sugar and mix together.
Add the flour and mix together until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Remove from bowl and knead by hand for 5-7 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth. The dough will be slightly sticky...that is what you want, try not to add flour.
Spray a bowl with cooking spray, add dough and spray top of dough with cooking spray. Cover and let raise until double in size ( about 30 minutes ) Do not let it rise too much or your dough will be too airy.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine butter, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined and set aside.
After dough is double in size, punch it down and place on pastry mat or sprinkle table lightly with flour. Roll dough to measure a 12 X 15" rectangle.
Place filling onto dough and smooth out.
Start rolling dough up tightly from the side of the rectangle.
With a sharp knife, score the dough in the middle, then the middle of the sides, then score 2 slits in between to make 12 rolls. Grease a 9 X 13 inch baking dish.
Take a long piece of dental floss and wrap around dough and cut.
Cover pan with a dish towel and let raise for about 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Warm the cream in microwave for 30 seconds. Don't make it hot, you just want it to be warm.
Pour warm cream over risen rolls and place into oven. Bake for 17-19 minutes until tops are golden brown and center rolls are cooked through.
To make frosting:
In a large bowl, combine SOFT cream cheese and butter. Mix until light and fluffy. Add maple extract and mix. Add powdered sugar and mix until soft and smooth. Spread frosting on warm ( not hot ) cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!!

Sheri I posted last week commenting on your great video. I made a batch of these super cinnamon rolls. I’m a commercial drywall metal stud contractor. Do it yourself electrician, plumber, mechanic hunter woodsman. Well add to that (with your help) baker!!! They turned out nearly perfect!! My mother in law just looked on with disbelief and wondered where I came up with just doing it let Lone them turning out so well!!

[@jus4funtim]

Might I suggest a technique that I have found to apply the filling, Spread the softened butter onto the dough by itself then sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon onto the butter topped dough and give it a light press into the butter so it sticks. just my 2c worth.

[@yolandaaddu3750]

❤

[@SKYLRKK_XX22]

No because then the sugar doesn’t get evenly distributed on the butter and it’s practically just butter you’re eating. You combine them all so you get the butter, cinnamon and brown sugar all together.

[@BPenner]

@@yolandaaddu3750😊

[@musicforjessieschool]

I make them this way too. And no, it's not just butter, everything melts to become well combined. It's the best!!

[@saulgoodwin8328]

I just put these in the oven, not sure how they’ll turn out but I wanted to say thank you for creating the most in depth video I’ve found. I’ve watched at least 10+ cinnamon roll videos on KZbin 😂😂

[@BonJournal]

Hi Sheri! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I used 5 cups of flour (perhaps due to weather conditions here today), and used active dry yeast. For the frosting, since I love the cream cheese flavor, I used the 6 oz. of cream cheese, and only about 1 Tablespoon of butter, a few shakes of salt, only 1 and 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon imitation vanilla flavoring. I put it in a container in the fridge, and we just use it whenever we want a cinnamon roll. I made one small pie pan of the cinnamon rolls, then needed to cover the bowl back up with the plastic wrap and a plate, and finish the other 2/3rds of the dough a few hours later. I came back, kneaded the dough a few times, just like I had the first time, then made 2 more pie pans of them and also baked them one at a time. I gave one of the pans of rolls to my neighbor, and she said, "These are good! You could sell these.". I like the addition of the heavy cream to the rolls before baking. I think it makes a little bit of a caramel sauce on some of the rolls. I liked only having to let them rise in the pan for 20 minutes before baking. In fact -- I didn't have 20 minutes to let them rise for that first pan, so they only rose for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then I baked them, and that was the pan of rolls that I gave to my neighbor who loved them. They still came out fine. I'm happy to finally now have this recipe to use. I was very happy with the results. They were fluffy and delicious. Thanks again.

[@elionamorales4376]

I believe i will also make them in small pans.

[@teresagaut822]

[@connieeddy178]

When I’m baking I always check the weather channel to see what the humidity is and if it’s not at least at 40% I don’t bake because cooked whipped icing will not set if the humidity is high. Even whipping the eggs whites for the batter of a German Chocolate Cake will not work because the cake will not rise as well. So bakers check your weather channel before you bake.

[@sashaarr7122]

I’m so glad that I found your channel. You make everything look so easy to make. Thank you so very much for sharing your recipe and your valuable time. God bless you and your family

[@karlwelin7932]

Sheri, I just made a pan of these rolls for the second time. The first time, we took them to a small gathering of 9 people & I did not get a Crum! They were a tremendous hit! This second batch went so much easier. And today there will be 6 people total. (I think) & the cook this time will get first choice! This is a Perfect recipe!

[@rmassey6830]

Wow I made and it's very delicious and it's my favorite recipe now thanks for sharing God bless 😋😋😋💯💯💯👍👍👍

Shiri These look awesome !!! My wife and I have had a bit of competition on cinnamon rolls When I'm not running a chainsaw!! I've always wanted to come up with a killer recipe! yeah I'm weird I was second eldest in a family of (8) and kinda liked baking and cooking a little. Then worked restaurants at high school age. I'm looking forward to trying your recipe's!!! TY Andy

[@thatgirltudy8353]

Andy, what happened? Did you make the cinnamon rolls? Did you win the competition with your wife? I need to know the ending! (okay yes, I have a competitive spirit as well)

[@janeostermiller9699]

Learned the cream from someone else. Sure makes a difference. Will try your recipe tommorrow. Can I get your bread recipe? Also does active or instant yeast make a difference.

[@princevalleyfarms]

Congrats! You do a very good job explaining what and how you do. I see little buddy had eyes on the prize! Tip: A few drops of water on the countertop before you place your pastry mat on will prevent it from slipping around as much. Try it, and I'll try your recipe on the weekend. Cheers

[@SheriHemingway]

Thank you so much!! I love that tip... my pastry mat is always sliding around and it drives me crazy! That is so helpful! Let me know if you try the cinnamon rolls! Thanks again! ♥️

I used to make home made cinnamon rolls. To keep them moist I would put butter and cinnamon filling and then I used to spread apple sauce along with the filling and some times raisins.. This added flavor and kept them moist. Your look yummy.
