Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Creating the perfect cinnamon roll is akin to conducting a symphony; every ingredient must come together harmoniously to produce a masterpiece of flavor and texture. As a chef, I take pride in refining these traditional treats, ensuring they emerge from the oven with just the right balance of soft, fluffy dough encasing a rich, cinnamon infused filling.

Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients

Flour (3 cups): Forms the backbone of the dough, providing structure.
Sugar (¾ cup + 3 tbsp brown sugar): Sweetens the dough and filling.
Ground cinnamon (3 tbsp): Delivers the signature spice that defines these rolls.
Warm milk (1 cup): Activates the yeast and enriches the dough’s texture.
Instant dry yeast (2 tbsp): The leavening agent that causes the dough to rise.
Butter (⅓ stick + ¼ cup melted): Offers moisture and rich flavor to the dough and filling.
Salt (1 tsp): Enhances all the flavors within the dough.
Egg (1): Binds the ingredients and enriches the dough’s color and texture.
