6:10 ---> You can put a cup full of hot water inside the oven and close it (turned off). After 5-7 minutes you put the rolls inside the oven, close it and that should create a nice warm environment for the rolls to proof/rise.

[@lucyrobinson181]

Method: 1. Start by mixing your dry ingredients together for the dough 2. Then put your water, milk and butter into the microwave for about a minute; you want it to be hand hot not boiling 3. Then combine that with your dry ingredients and mix at a low speed 4. Once it starts coming together, you want to add your egg into the dough 5. Then turn the speed up to medium until the dough comes off the sides 6. The mixture should be quite sticky 7. Dust your worktop and scrape out your dough into it (you might want to dust your hands as well) 8. Then kneed your dough for about 4-5 minutes until it all comes together nice and smooth. 9. Put your dough into a lightly greased bowl and leave it to prove for 15 minutes with a tea towel over the top of the bowl. 10. Whilst your dough is proving, put your soft spreadable butter, cinnamon and sugar into a bowl and beat together to make the filling 11. Then you want to dust you table top and your going to roll it out into a rectangle about 17 inches long and 10 inches wide. 12. Next, spread your filling all over the rolled dough 13. Once you got your filling all over the dough, all to the edges, you want to start rolling it (very tightly) all the way till its fully rolled 14. Trim the edges 15. Then you need to start chopping the dough about 4-5cm long 16. Then you need to prove them again in a round cake tin (swirl facing up and make sure there are gaps in between them because they double in size) in a warm environment and cover them with tinfoil for 1-1 ½ hours. 17. Now bake them at 170 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes 18. Whilst its baking in the oven, whisk together the icing sugar, milk, salt and vanilla extract. It will be done once it reaches a runny consistency. 19. When you take the swirls out of the oven, you want to brush the glaze on when its still hot. 20. Enjoy!

Thx so much!!

@@Ali-pb6jb Eggs are often only "binder ingredients" within recipes (holding other ingredients together), so often times substituting them can be a bit tricky. But what you can do is use chia/linseed mixed with a bit of water. This will pretty much do the same thing. Take one tablespoon of chia/linseed with three tablespoons of water, and let whatever seeds you picked soak up all that water (it might take a while, but it's very important to let it soak it all up!). It'll eventually become kinda like gloop, which does the same "binding" action of eggs. I've used it before with breads for a vegan friend of mine, and it tends to work out just fine. Or, if that doesn't work out, try using an oil (like vegetable oil). But the soaked seeds should work!

[@wiladin]

@@Ali-pb6jb I've made these several times by swapping out the egg for 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree. It works like a charm. It doesn't effect the flavour at all either. You should be able to use this substitution for a lot of baked things, and it's cheaper and easier than most common alternatives.

[@rahmazahid6669]

Lucy Robinson how much butter+water+milk will go into itt???

[@mariselacervantes4071]

I just give this recipe a go and my life will never be the same. I don't know how I could live all this time without them. The best cinnamon rolls I had in my life for sure. Thank you Jemma!!

[@durrezbakes]

I asked for a cinnamon cupcake recipe in the last video but now I'm so much more happier seeing this one! My hubby has been asking to make these for a while but I didn't know which recipe to follow from. No issues now! Thanks Jemma ❤

[@anjalir58]

No matter what recipe I use, I always come back to this one because it's so simple and I get really soft, yummy rolls every time :) thank you Jemma

[@romystumpy1197]

That's good to know ,i like that they are golden and look soft,I've seen other recipes on yt,and they look dark and have a crust,which I'm not keen on

[@graceaxisa4213]

I baked these yesterday, thinking this will cheer us up as we commence our second lock down here in Melbourne, Australia. I thought I had baked enough for two days...they were gone within a few hours! Absolutely delicious! So easy to make too and the beauty of this recipe is that you can be doing other things whilst waiting for the yeast to do all of the work. Thanks Jemma, these cinnamon rolls are now a firm family favourite!

[@annad9455]

These have become a Christmas tradition for me now. 3rd year in a row of making these 💕 perfect every time x

[@edenfernandes538]

I made these! The most fluffiest softest lightest delicious cinnamon roll I have ever tasted. I made 12 and they were all gone in one day!! Will definitely use this recipe again ❤️

My daughter is in England (Nottingham) for her third year of Uni. She did a week's tour of London and stopped by your shop. She picked up a trio of little sweets for herself and an apron for me. I am going to try my hand at these cinnamon rolls when I feel better, they look tasty as hell. Hello from Canada!

[@silverangel918]

I made these last night and they were unbelievably fluffy. They were a huge hit and over half the pan was gone by the end of the night. I will definitely make these again!

[@777melpomena]

Tried this recipe years ago when I first saw this video and still remember I was delighted...coming from a person who's not really so much into sweet food should say something...so yeah, I totally recommend!

Made my first ever cinarolls today. Amazing and so easy! Thank you for sharing your recipe and your time with us!

[@nevermind-ux3ns]

I made these 3 times and I absolutely love them!! First time the butter in the dough melted because I took too long spreading the filling so the rolls looked a bit sad but they still tasted great Second time I made sure my surface was cold and worked faster and they looked and tasted just perfect.. only different thing I do is a cream cheese sauce instead of regular icing which takes these rolls onto a whole new level Third time I used a 10g pack of instant yeast and I multiplied all the ingredients by 1.5 and I still got 12 rolls but they were hugeee and an almost exact replica of Cinabbon! Again cream cheese glazed with some hazelnuts and they are heavenly! Thank you so much for the recipe, definitely a keeper!!

[@Luna.311]

@@HeavyDemir I used the same amount of filling on mine and it looked like hers

[@HeavyDemir]

@@Luna.311 cool thanks :)

[@nayeraalhossary7135]

Can I spread the butter first on the dough then but sugar and cinnamon? because I think it will be so hard to spread this mixture on such a delicate dough!

[@rashayacoub5628]

Could you please mention more details about cream cheese frosting

[@JosieD33]

@@rashayacoub5628 Mix an equal amount of cream cheese and butter, add icing sugar and for something a bit more special, add a tablespoon of maple syrup 😋

[@unicornb7684]

OMG I made cinnamon rolls/buns from this recipe and they were so tasty!!!!! I've never eaten such fluffy and yummy cinnamon rolls. Also they were not too sweet. Mine took over 2 hours to rise before baking but it was worth the wait. Thank you so much for uploading this video 👌

Thanks for the yummy recipe, they look so good, gonna definitely be making a batch of these lil buggers.

I have just baked these and they are DELICIOUS Jemma. Perfect, not too sweet. I actually put in the fridge overnight (as I do with my sourdough breads and other yeast goodies) to bake and enjoy with morning coffee! It worked a treat, (after resting an hour at warm room temperature) and now will convert ingreds - easy dairy replacements and no egg) for my vegan daughter ~ we ALL love cinnamon buns xx

[@delilahmaloney8482]

When do you put them in the fridge? After rising the buns or before? Tnx!

I love baking but have always been intimidated by working with dough and yeast. Just recently had a huge snowstorm in Minnesota and I made these and it was so easy and they turned out SO well. They are fluffy and sweet and they look amazing. I will absolutely be making these a lot in the future.

[@babablackiesheep]

You are the first baker who actually explained the difference between instant yeast and active dry yeast. All the recipes (big internet names) always just say "yeast" or "active yeast" but use the instant dry prep method so my rolls never rise correctly. I was always confused because I never had issues with bread. Now I know: when yeast is added directly to the dry ingredients, use instant not active.

[@babablackiesheep]

Made these tonight and they were perfection!

[@jamilajariwala]

Just made these, and oh man, they’re really good. I consider myself a cinnamon roll expert (taste wise hA) and these were not only really easy to whip up but tasted just perfect 👌🏼 I normally make a cream cheese icing for my cinnamon rolls but I went with this simple version instead and it tasted just as great, this is way too easy for you to say no to, just make em! And for the yeast part, to activate active dry yeast, just mix the warm milk, melted butter, water and caster sugar and put 2 1/2 tsps of yeast in and let it sit for 10 minutes until there’s a bubbly formation on the top and mix it in with the flour then!
