The ultimate soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls! Gooey, soft, tender and pretty much perfect.

Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls - Sprinkle Some Sugar

If I had to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be a big, fat, fresh out of the oven, warm cinnamon roll. There is just nothing in the world like it! I have another recipe on my site for cinnamon rolls, but I basically took that recipe and re-vamped it to make the absolute ultimate pan of giant delicious cinnamon rolls ever. Don’t let the task of cinnamon roll making freak you out because it really is so easy. You just need a lot of patience! The end result is so, so, soooo worth it. Just trust me on this. What you get is the softest and gooiest cinnamon rolls ever doused in a creamy sweet cream cheese frosting.

Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls - Sprinkle Some Sugar

These soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls come out so tender and doughy, they’re just perfect. Think: Cinnabon. My taste testers went nuts over these and may or may not have said that these put Cinnabon to shame! True story. Cream cheese frosting is my favorite kind of frosting so you know I made sure there’s more than enough to go around in this recipe!

Ingredients needed to make this homemade cinnamon rolls recipe:

  • Active dry yeast: It helps the dough to rise and makes the cinnamon rolls puff up as they bake.
  • Milk: You want the milk to be lukewarm (not hot). I recommend 2% or whole milk.
  • Granulated sugar: This is used to sweeten up the cinnamon rolls and it also helps to activate the yeast.
  • Unsalted butter: You will need butter for the dough, filling and frosting recipes. I like to use unsalted in most of my baking recipes so I can control the amount of sodium.
  • Eggs: I use two eggs and 1 yolk in my recipe. The extra egg yolk ensures a nice rich dough.
  • Flour: I use all-purpose flour in this recipe.
  • Brown sugar: I like to use light brown sugar in my recipe but you may use dark. Make sure whichever you use, that it is packed well.
  • Cinnamon: Flavor!!
  • Corn starch:
  • Cream cheese: I recommend using full fat cream cheese fo a richer taste.
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls

  • Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls - Sprinkle Some Sugar
  • Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls - Sprinkle Some Sugar
  • Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls - Sprinkle Some Sugar
  • Proof the Yeast: To activate yeast, you need to dissolve it in the warm milk and 1 tbs of measured out sugar from the amount needed in the recipe. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until foamy on top. If your yeast doesn’t get foamy, don’t move forward. Your yeast is dead and cannot be used in this recipe – the cinnamon rolls will not rise properly.
  • Make and knead the dough: Stir in remaining sugar, melted butter and beaten eggs until combined. Add 3 cups of flour first and then gradually add the rest, kneading until you have a workable dough. The dough WILL still be sticky so do not over-flour your dough! It should be sticky but not sticky enough where it sticks to your hands.
  • First Rise: Shape dough into a large ball and place into a greased bowl. Set t in a warm place to rise until doubled, about an hour. Pro tip: Turn oven to 170 degrees and then turn it off, it creates the perfect warm environment!
  • Roll out dough and prepare Filling: Flip the bowl over and dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it down lightly to release the air inside and roll it with a rolling pin into a very large rectangle, about 12 x 24. Smear the butter on into an even layer and sprinkle the filling on top. Pat it down lightly to pack it down.
  • Shape rolls: Roll the dough up very tightly into a long log. Cut into 12 or 16 cinnamon rolls. 12 for a large 9×13 pan or 16 for two round 8″ baking pans (8 rolls in each). Grease your pan of choice extremely well and place cut cinnamon rolls into prepared pan.
  • At this point, if you are preparing these for the next day, wrap them TIGHTLY with saran wrap (you do not want any air to get in and dry out the dough) and refrigerate until you are ready. Remove from the refrigerator and set back into warm environment for the second rise.
  • Second rise: Allow them to rise in a warm place one more time until puffy, about thirty minutes.
  • Bake: Once risen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
  • Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth with no lumps. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt and mix until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting onto the warm rolls.

Recipe Tips:

  • I use a stand mixer to mix the dough. You can use a bread machine if you have one set to the dough setting to make this even easier. If you’re using your hands – get those muscles ready! – then just be sure not to add too much flour to your dough as you want it to be a little tacky. That is what makes the cinnamon rolls soft and fluffy. If too much flour is added, they will be dense, tough and dry.
  • Don’t overheat your milk. You want it to be between 105-115 degrees F. If your mil is any hotter, there is a chance you will kill the yeast. Which means the cinnamon rolls will not rise and all of your hard work will go to waste. That would be a BUMMER for sure.
  • The consistency is NOT like that of pizza dough. It should be slightly sticky but it shouldn’t be overly sticky that you can’t handle it without it sticking crazily to your fingers. If that makes sense.
  • I like to set my oven to the lowest setting (170 degrees F) and place it in there until risen for my ‘warm place’ to rise.
  • If you would like to have those big, fat and round cinnabon-like cinnamon rolls, then you will need to cut 12 cinnamon rolls and space them out onto a 9×13 pan.

Go ahead and slather on some cream cheese frosting and dig into the most gloriously gooey and delicious cinnamon roll ever.

Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 25 mins
Rising time 30 mins
Total Time 1 hr 25 mins
Course Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings 16 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 standard packet active dry yeast 2 1/4 tsp
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 egg yolk lightly beaten
  • 4 1/2 – 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter very soft
  • 1 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tbs cinnamon
  • 1 tbs corn starch

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt optional

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, Add yeast, warm milk and 1 tbs of measured out sugar. Stir together lightly and allow to sit for 10 minutes or until foamy on top. Stir in remaining sugar, melted butter and beaten eggs until combined.
  • Add 3 cups of flour first and then add one tablespoon at a time until you have a workable dough. The dough WILL still be sticky so do not over-flour your dough! It should be sticky but not sticky enough where it sticks to your hands. Also note that your dough may not completely stop sticking from the bottom of the bowl so don't base your flour additions on that.
  • Place dough into a lightly greased bowl and set into a warm place to rise until doubled, about one hour. I like to turn my oven onto 170 degrees and then turn it off, it creates the perfect warm environment.
  • In the last minutes of the dough rising, gather your ingredients for the filling. In a small bowl, stir the brown sugar, cinnamon and corn starch until thoroughly incorporated. Take the risen dough and don’t punch it down just yet. Flip the bowl over and dump it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Pat it down lightly to release the air inside and roll it with a rolling pin into a very large rectangle, about 12 x 24. Smear the butter on into an even layer and sprinkle the filling on top. Pat it down lightly to pack it down.
  • Roll the dough up very tightly into a long log. Cut the log into 12 or 16 cinnamon rolls. 12 for a large 9×13 pan or 16 for two round 8″ baking pans (8 rolls in each). Grease your pan of choice extremely well and place cut cinnamon rolls into prepared pan.
  • At this point, if you are preparing these for the next day, wrap them TIGHTLY with saran wrap (you do not want any air to get in and dry out the dough) and refrigerate until you are ready. Remove from the refrigerator and set back into warm environment for the second rise.
  • Allow them to rise in a warm place one more time until puffy, about thirty minutes.
  • Once rolls have done their second rise. preheat the oven to 350 degrees and arrange the rack into the center of the oven. Bake cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on top.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth with no lumps. Add in confectioner's sugar, vanilla and optional pinch of salt and mix until smooth an creamy. Spread the frosting onto the warm rolls.

Notes

  1. These Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls will stay fresh for up to 1 week stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  2. I always store mine at room temperature and have never had an issue. If you are concerned about the cream cheese, store in the refrigerator.
  3. They are perfect warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds! Just like a fresh cinnamon roll right out of the oven.

      What ever you do, do NOT add all 4 1/2 cups of flour into your mixer at once. The actual conversion if you switch the recipe to metric is 4 1/3 cups. All that aside…
      Start our the mixer at around 3 cups of flour and mix thoroughly.

      Keep in mind, this particular dough should be sticky at the end of mixing. If this your first time making dough, it’s hard to explain in words how it should look and feel. If you’ve made bread dough, you’ll know what I mean when you I say you don’t want bread dough too sticky. – Well, with this dough, you do want the dough to be sticky. It may even be safe to say, it should ooz (for lack of a better word) a little bit. – it should slump or settle as it is dump on a counter surface.

      Word of warning.. If you value your mixing machine,, Do Not add all the flour at once. It will burn out smaller machines. I’ve learned the hard way,, you should really weigh your ingredients and not trust American measuring practices. Get a decent scale and rid yourself of disappointment after disappointment. Failed recipes are not always your fault. Ingredients like flour dramatically changes with the environment, taking on more or less moisture. Dryer flour in dry climates takes less than moist flour in humid climates. Weighing ingredients really does improve accuracy. Although your accuracy will be improved always and ingredients like flour gradually, or rather most at once, adding more throughout the mixing processes. This will save you some disappointment and help preserve you machine.

      Happy baking!

Great gooey stuff, I will never purchase another cinnamon roll at the store. Wow!!!! I made a few mistakes, however, I will correct them and perfect them next time around. I rolled the dough a little too thin and so it was a bit challenging to wrap, I got it done though with a little more time and they were a little too brown so I will bake for 18mins next time, I did 20mins.

    Great recipe Jessica

They look like the ones we had at school in the 80s but don’t taste like the school cinnamon rolls or store bought. Not awful just not wonderful like the other bakers’ comments.

          I wouldn’t recommend adding more yeast as too much yeast could cause the dough to go flat by releasing gas before the flour is ready to expand. I generally use this conversion when substituting instant yeast for active dry yeast: 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons) = 1 2/3 teaspoons instant yeast. I hope this helps!

        I will be honest with you and say I don’t have too much experience using bread flour, but I would say that this had something to do with protein content as bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour. How did the rolls do during the rise time? Did they get puffy before baking and the go flat? Or you had a hard time getting them to rise period?

    These were perfect. Best cinnamon roll recipe I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot) so I deleted all my other ones. My go-to recipe from now on. The versatility of the dough has me thinking of all kinds of other ways to use it. Bravo!!!

      Yes, just use a bowl with spoon to mix it together and knead by hand. Prepare for a workout! Lol

    Hey Jessica! These are sooooooooo DELICIOUS!!!!! Seriously the best recipe I have ever made. Someone gave me sourdough starter and now i use a cup of that and only 1/2 or 1 tsp of yeast. It works out great and stays super fluffy. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! I love these rolls! I make them weekly! We’re totally addicted!!! πŸ˜€

    I made these today by the recipe exactly as written and they are delicious. My only *problem*…they are like cake! I made the dough in my stand mixer (I’m an absolute beginner with dough). The dough was very soft but rose beautifully and was not too hard to work with in the rolling and cutting process. But it seems there are no gluten strands like most cinnamon rolls I’ve had, where they are soft but with some stretch to the bread. These are indeed fluffy and soft, but definitely more like cake. Any comments are welcome! We will definitely eat every last crumb of these, and will use this recipe again. I would just prefer a more bread-like texture. Thanks for a great recipe! Hubs loves them!

      Hmm, I’m not sure what happened, but they should have been be a bread-like texture like a classic cinnamon roll! I am glad they are still delicious though!

      Try using White Lilly bread flour. It has lots of gluten and gives a chewy texture to bread. I know what you mean about being a cake texture. Mine have turned out that way when I used all purpose flour.

    I made these for Christmas morning, and they were fantastic! I couldn’t find the recipe that my mom always made, so I tried something new and so glad I did!

    I used WhiteLily light baking flour, salted butter and homemade brown sugar for the inside… And they were next level ?. I was nervous about how sticky the dough was, but they turned out so light and fluffy and absolutely perfect!

    This will be my go to recipe from here on out! Thank you!

    I made these today! Only had 2 cups of flour… so I ground up some oatmeal and made oat flour! Texturally different yes, but still turned out delicious! Will make them that way again! Thanks!
