BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

Tips:
- Use fresh yeast. Active dry yeast is a common ingredient in cinnamon rolls, but fresh yeast yields a better flavor and texture. If you're using fresh yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
- Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the dough tough. Knead the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. A warm place will help the dough rise quickly and evenly.
- Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough is, the more layers of cinnamon sugar you'll get in your cinnamon rolls.
- Don't skimp on the cinnamon sugar. A generous amount of cinnamon sugar is what makes cinnamon rolls so delicious.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls until they're golden brown. Golden brown cinnamon rolls are perfectly baked and will have a delicious, slightly crispy crust.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon rolls are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a little practice, you can make cinnamon rolls that are just as good as (if not better than) the ones from your favorite bakery. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give one of these recipes a try.
