Notes or Tips

- Feel free to add nuts or raisins into the filling for extra texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
Cooking Techniques
To achieve the perfect texture in your cinnamon rolls, kneading is essential. This develops the gluten in the dough, allowing it to rise beautifully while baking. Remember to keep your surfaces floured to prevent sticking, and let the rolls rise adequately for a light and airy bite.
