Do I need yeast?

One of the great benefits of this recipe is that there is no yeast. Without yeast there is no rise time and you don’t have to mess with the fussiness of activating it.

What should my dough look like?

Your dough is the foundation of your finished product so lets cover some tips and troubleshooting.

With your dough ingredients in your stand mixer, start at a slow speed and let the ingredients start to combine before picking up speed. Once the dough starts to pick up you can increase to a medium speed. After several minutes the dough should be picking up and pulling away from the edge of your mixing bowl. You can then slow it down and then stop and check the consistency.

If your dough is sticky you need to add a little flour. Just add a bit at a time so you don’t over do it. When it is not sticky and is firm but still soft you have the ideal dough consistency.

How to cut cinnamon roll dough

After you roll out your dough, layer the cinnamon mixture and roll it into a carpet style roll. Now you are ready to cut. To avoid pinching your dough you can cut your dough with a high quality serrated knife using gentle pressure.

Some prefer to cut with dental floss which creates nice uniform cinnamon rolls.

How to store homemade cinnamon rolls

Store airtight so keep them fresh and soft. They will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator or you can freeze them without icing. Then when you are ready to warm them in the oven you can give them a fresh layer of icing as soon as they come out.

You can also freeze baked rolls in ziplock bags until ready to heat and eat. 

Reheating instructions

If you freeze your plain non-iced cinnamon rolls you will need to let them thaw to room temperature before reheating. Preheat your oven to 350 and heat for 5-8 minutes before removing. Let them cool before giving them a fresh layer of icing.
