Tips:

Use fresh yeast for best results. If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will give the cinnamon rolls a light and fluffy texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce carbon dioxide, which will create air pockets in the dough.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. The thinner you roll it, the more layers your cinnamon rolls will have.
Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Be sure to get all the way to the edges.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Cut the dough into 12 even pieces. Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish.
Let the cinnamon rolls rise again in a warm place until they have doubled in size. This will take about 30 minutes.
Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before frosting them.
