Instructions

Prep:20minCook:20min

Soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls made from scratch with a dump-and-mix dough that requires no kneading! Frosted with a sticky cream cheese glaze, these are sweet but nowhere near as sickly sweet as store bought ones. This recipe is quite forgiving - see notes. Instructions are long because I'm providing helpful hints but this recipe is actually quite straight forward! Recipe video below.
