NINETY MINUTE CINNAMON ROLLS
I found this recipe a few years ago and have adopted this as my official best cinnamon rolls of all time. I make it every Christmas. I like it because I pour the extra cinnamon and brown sugar that is left in the bottom of the muffin tins,over the cinnamon rolls. This way the whole cinnamon roll is like the best part, the center.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh yeast. If you're using active dry yeast, be sure to proof it before using. You just need warm water (105-115°F), a pinch of sugar, and of course, the yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it's foamy and smells yeasty.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
- Don't overproof the dough. This will make the cinnamon rolls tough. Let it rise until it's doubled in size, but not more than that.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough. If you put too much in one spot, the cinnamon rolls will be too sweet.
- Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. This will help to keep the cinnamon sugar mixture inside the rolls.
- When cutting the rolls, use a sharp knife. This will help to prevent them from tearing.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Check them halfway through baking to make sure they're not getting too brown.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're soft, fluffy, and full of cinnamon sugar flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
