Interested to make this one? You’ll find the right recipe down here. Let us start with the dough ingredients first before moving on to the filling and glaze ingredients.
Ingredients for the Dough of Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
- 1 cup of warm milk
- 1 tablespoon of dry yeast, the instant one
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the white one
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3 tablespoons of salted butter that’s been softened
- 1 egg, the large one
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
When you’re preparing warm milk for this dough recipe, you need to make sure it is warm enough, about 100 or 110 degrees Fahrenheit. And when preparing the flour, take the flour using measuring cup. Scoop out your flour then level off your cup’s top. It is always good to weigh your flour using kitchen scale if you really want to get the complete accuracy.
Each cup of the flour will be 125 grams so three cups of flour will be 375 grams. You’ll also need to prepare the softened butter, but how soft should it be? Place butter at your room temperature then you must touch it. Make sure that it responds very easily when you touch it. If you want to soften your butter in microwave, be careful not to melt it all.
Oh, and about the butter, you’re free to use either unsalted butter or salted butter. You can also replace the all-purpose flour with the bread flour if you want it or if that’s the only flour you had. Just remember that your dough must be a bit sticky, yet very pliable and soft at once. Adding too much flour is going to stiffen your dough. Stiff dough means stiff rolls.
Filling Ingredients of Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
- ½ cup of salter butter, melt it
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
Just like the ingredients of the dough, choose one between unsalted butter and salted butter. Now since you’re done preparing the main ingredients, you’re ready to prepare the glaze ingredients.

Cinnamon Rolls Recipe’s Dough Steps
- Use stand mixer’s bowl to combine eggs, butter, salt, sugar, yeast, and warm milk.
- Add in the flour as well.
- Turn your stand mixer on, keep it in low speed.
- When your flour starts incorporating into your dough, increase your mixer’s speed to medium range.
- Add flour in order to pull your dough away from your mixer bowl’s sides. Your dough mixture must be tacky, yet not stick when you hold it in your hands. That dough must be soft. You can add more flour until your dough reaches the consistency you desire.
- Prepare a mixing bowl and grease it before you transfer your dough in it. Cover the bowl with towel in order to let it rise until its double size. This is going to take an hour.
- Get a baking sheet then grease it lightly. Punch down your dough then roll it into 12 x 18 inch rectangle.
Now, follow the steps that lead you to the best cinnamon rolls’ fillings.
