Tips:

  • Use fresh, active dry yeast. Old or inactive yeast will not produce enough carbon dioxide to cause the dough to rise properly.
  • Proof the yeast before using. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and ready to use.
  • Use warm milk. Warm milk will help the yeast to activate and grow.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide and cause the dough to rise.
  • Roll the dough out into a rectangle. This will make it easier to spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough. This will give the rolls a delicious, sweet flavor.
  • Roll the dough up into a log. This will help to keep the cinnamon sugar mixture inside the rolls.
  • Cut the log into 12 equal pieces. This will make 12 cinnamon rolls.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide and cause the rolls to rise.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

These homemade Jiffy cinnamon rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
