There's lots of gooey filling, and a scrumptious vanilla glaze for on top. This is now one of my favorite recipes! I'm going to make it the next time I have friends over.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough for at least 5 minutes develops elasticity and helps create a smooth, even texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: Find a draft-free spot with a temperature between 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal dough rising.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: Use a rolling pin to create a uniform, rectangular shape for even layering and rolling.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly: Ensure the filling is distributed consistently over the dough to achieve a balanced flavor throughout the rolls.
  • Cut the dough into even strips: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create uniform strips for consistent baking.
  • Roll the strips tightly: Roll the dough strips snugly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Space the rolls properly in the baking pan: Leave enough space between the rolls to allow for expansion during baking.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: Keep an eye on the rolls and remove them from the oven once they have reached a beautiful golden brown color.
  • Glaze the rolls while warm: Apply the glaze while the rolls are still warm to ensure it soaks in and creates a shiny, delicious coating.
