Easy Cinnamon Rolls (from scratch)

Prep:1h 40minCook:25min

These easy cinnamon rolls are perfect for yeast beginners because they only require 1 rise. You have a few options for toppings. The recipe below includes a simple cream cheese icing, but we also love these with the coffee icing or vanilla icing that's included in the recipe Notes below.

Phenomenal!!! You could also do any sort of filling. Definitely foil for the last 10 minutes. And rise 75 mins in oven with boiling water - next time try miso caramel filling

I used some foil to cover these for the last 10 minutes of cooking as they were very browned. It seems to have saved them from burning.

i added about 1/2 cup more of flour and doubled the filling. a sharp knife is a must or else you'll squeeze out all your filling!

Instead of using melted butter, I cut the butter into the flour with pastry knife. Then added the rest of the ingredients. Sprinkle some cayenne and add raisins.

This was really good. I eliminated cream cheese for personal preference and refrigerated the rolls overnight. Yum!

These are good. Would make again if I only had time to do the one rise process. Note the recipe tip to check during baking to ensure they don't get too browned.

Had to use more flour than noted, and I let it rest for half an hour instead of 10 minutes. I used the recommended amount of butter for the filling but I just covered it with cinnamon and sugar to the amount I wanted. Came out great with some egg wash, perfect texture for the bread!
