Here is how I make cinnamon rolls:
Slather Butter On No-Fail Cinnamon Rolls Dough:
Make the dough according to the printable recipe below and roll out as instructed. Slather with butter as desired. Next, sprinkle LOTS of cinnamon on the buttered dough.
Cinnamon Rolls-LOTS Of Cinnamon.
Next, you can either use white granulated sugar or my favorite, brown sugar….sprinkle either sugar over the buttered cinnamon dough.
Cinnamon Rolls Ready To Roll And Slice:
Now they are ready to roll up and slice as above. I use a dough cutter, I don’t like to “stretch” my dough, I am sure it’s an old wives’ tale, I still believe it! LOL! I tuck the tail under the roll and place on the greased cookie sheets.
You can see how much the rolls “rise and fluff up” in the picture at the very top. I promise once you make these you will say…why didn’t I know about this easy recipe before!!!
Hints: you must have fresh bread flour, fresh yeast, etc. Please do not store your yeast, wheat gluten or dough enhancer in your pantry. Store in the refrigerator what you will use within one month….the rest put in the freezer. Yes, white flour does expire…..it will grow mold spores…as do other products. When in doubt…throw it out……Buy what you use and use what you buy…..I only buy enough white bread flour I can use within 9-12 months.

Cinnamon Rolls-No Fail by Linda
- 4 Teaspoons SAF Instant Yeast
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 2 Cups Warm Milk
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1-1/2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
- 4 Teaspoons Dough Enhancer
- 2 Eggs
- 6-7 Cups White Bread Flour Add half of the flour and then add more until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Butter cinnamon and brown sugar (I cover the dough with a lot of cinnamon-the more the better)
Place all of the ingredients in order into your mixing bowl. Be careful with the eggs not to add the warm milk too slowly or you will have scrambled eggs. Add half of the flour and keep adding the rest of the flour until the bread dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise the first time about an hour. Punch the dough down and roll the dough into two-12 inch by 18-inch rectangles. Lather with butter, sprinkle with desired cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll up tightly and cut into ½ inch rolls. Cover with greased plastic and let rise one more time about an hour or until double the size. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes on a greased cookie sheet. Do not overbake. (Golden Brown) Frost with my cream cheese frosting while warm.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1- eight-ounce cream cheese softened
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons vanilla
- Cream the butter with the cream cheese and slowly add the powdered sugar to the thickness you desire. Add the vanilla until blended.

They look so yummy–you make the best cinnamon rolls!
they’re better than Grandma Toblers! (at least I remember them being so, it’s been awhile since I’ve had any)
Here is an easy way to cut your rolls without smashing the dough.
Simply use a piece of thread, thin string, or dental floss. Slide string under dough where you want to cut. Then pull both ends up and cross quickly over top.
A quick I learned in college foods class that works everytime without any fancy equipment
These sound easy to make and very good. I will try this recipe. Thank you, Linda.
What is a dough enhancer?
Hi Kathy, dough enhancer makes the bread soft and fluffy. It’s totally optional. Linda
