Homemade Cinnamon Roll Recipe

I have been meaning to share this recipe on my blog for quite some time, it is just so much easier to share on my social media pages that I kind of have neglected my blog. 

I shared this Cinnamon Roll Recipe on TikTok and it has almost 400,000 views. I receive comments frequently on that video of people saying they made them and loved them. I love hearing from you all knowing you benefited from a recipe, coupon deal, or local favorite I share. Someone recently commented they made these cinnamon rolls for a baby shower that had a theme a bun in the oven, too cute, love that idea! Thank you for commenting, sharing, and messaging me, I love to connect with you all. It truly brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart when I hear that you enjoy the posts I share.

It was because of a comment from someone looking for a printable version of this recipe that I finally made time to share the recipe here on the blog.

I could have just shared the text and screenshots from my video, but when I post a blog post I like to use my good camera and take pictures of the steps. I know I appreciate step-by-step instructions, so I always try to do that in my videos or on my blog posts.

This recipe is really easy to make and once you try these you won't ever want to make the can ones. again. I will add that recently I have started making homemade sourdough bread and if you too have sourdough starter around you can add 1/4 cup of sourdough discard to this recipe and it is a delicious addition.

Since joining the sourdough club, I frequently have sourdough discard to use up and I pretty much have added it to my chocolate chip cookie recipe. I've added it to my banana bread recipe, pretty much anywhere I can and I have always been happy with the results.

Cinnamon Roll Recipe

2 Cups of Flour

1/3 Cup of Sugar

2 Packets of Instant Yeast

1/2 Tsp Salt

Mix Dry Ingredients with a whisk.

To the dry ingredients add:

1 1/2 Cups Water

6 Tablespoons Melted Butter 

1 Egg 

Mix with the dough hook in the stand mixer.

Once combined add 2 Cups of Flour

Put flour on hand and knead.

Place in a bowl with non-stick spray, and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

Cinnamon Mixture 

1 Cup Brown Sugar 

2 Tablespoons Cinnamon 

Sprinkle of Nutmeg 

Punch the dough in the bowl and then dump the dough onto a floured surface. 

Roll out onto a floured surface and cover the dough with softened butter and cinnamon mixture. I used 1/2 a stick of softened butter on the rolled-out dough. 

Roll and slice let sit and rise for 1 hour or overnight in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. 

You can roll the dough and then slice or recently I started using a pizza cutter making slices first and rolling each slice.
