To become a successful baker, one should understand the basics of how to measure, how long to bake, and how to alter recipes as needed. One way to brush up on these skills is by making a classic recipe such as cinnamon rolls.

Cinnamon rolls are soft, sweet rolls made from dough that is rolled out flat and brushed with melted butter. Then sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon before being rolled up into individual pieces which are then placed in the pan for baking.

Topping

Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled, you can finish them with their delicious topping. Depending on your preference, you can use a cream cheese or classic butter-based frosting. Both methods offer a slightly different sweetness and texture for the topping, so feel free to try out both!

Cream Cheese Topping:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (if needed to make a thinner consistency)

Butter Topping:

  • 2/3 cup butter (1 1/3 sticks), melted and cooled until warm but not hot
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Up to 2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream (as needed to achieve the desired consistency)

Serving ways

Serving these delicious rolls is a breeze once they are out of the oven. There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls! If you can, pull apart some of the rolls as soon as they’ve cooled down enough to eat and enjoy their warm, gooey centers.

If you decide to refrigerate your leftover cinnamon rolls, you can easily heat them up in the microwave. Simply wrap your cinnamon roll in a wet paper towel and heat it in 30-second intervals until it’s warm and gooey again. You can also use a conventional oven or toaster oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Place waxed paper between each roll before baking for 5-10 minutes or until heated through. Enjoy with some melted butter on top or even drizzled with frosting or glaze for a special treat!
