Tips for Making Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Check the yeast expiration. Only use if the yeast is in date. I like to use Red Star Yeast Platinum instant yeast or Red Star Yeast Active Dry Yeast. 
  2. King Arthur All Purpose Flour or Bread Flour is the best for making homemade sweet rolls and bread. It really does make a difference. 
  3. Add flour to create the dough a bit at a time. Adding too much flour will make your rolls tough and heavy. 
  1. I like to use a Danish dough whisk  to mix the dough. You can also use an electric mixer if you prefer.
  2. Knead the dough about 3- 5 minutes, dough will no longer be sticky. 
  3. Allow plenty of rising time, don’t rush it. This makes the lightest, fluffiest rolls. 
  4. Don’t over bake the rolls. Oven baking times and temperatures vary. Watch the rolls as they bake, turn the pan half way through for even cooking and start checking for doneness about 5 minutes before baking time is up. 

Give these delicious homemade sweet rolls a try for your next weekend brunch or holiday gathering with friends and family. There’s something for everyone on this tasty list. Drop a comment and let me know your favorite.
