Cinnamon rolls are one of the most delicious sweet treats on the market, but it takes some time to master the art of making them. If you feel like your cinnamon rolls are missing something that will make them perfect, we’re here with some useful tips and tricks that can help you take them to the next level.
Room Temperature Ingredients
Allow refrigerated ingredients to come to room temperature before using them. The yeast won’t be able to work its magic if the ingredients are too cold, so give them some time to reach room temperature.
Avoid Over-Mixing
It’s important to mix your dough thoroughly, but over-mixing it is best avoided because you might end up with tough cinnamon rolls.
Let Dough Rise
Let your dough rise in a warm, peaceful environment, and slightly oil your bowl beforehand. Letting it rise overnight in the fridge is also an option, and your rolls will most likely have a more complex, robust flavor if you use this method.
Rolling Tips
Try to roll your cinnamon rolls as tightly as possible so maximize the number of layers, while also making sure they hold shape and the filling doesn’t fall out.
Final Touches
You should use dental floss to cut your cinnamon rolls and give them some space when placing them on a baking sheet. Once they’re baked, give them at least 10 minutes to cool down before icing them so your icing won’t melt.
