Classic Cinnabon Recipe | Fluffy & Gooey Cinnamon Rolls

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while providing moisture.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt offers a tangy flavor with fewer calories.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

Warm 250 ml of milk.

Add 80 g of sugar to the milk.

Sprinkle 7 g of dry fast yeast into the mixture.

Add a pinch of salt and 2 eggs to the mixture.

Melt 80 g of butter and add it to the mixture.

Gradually add 580 g of wheat flour until combined.

Knead the dough until it is soft; if it sticks slightly to your hands, leave it as is.

Let the dough rise until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.

In a separate bowl, mix 120 g of sugar with 13 g of ground cinnamon.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle.

Spread 90 g of soft butter over the rolled dough.

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Roll the dough up tightly into a log.

Cut the log into pieces about 3 cm (1 inch) thick.

Optionally, dip the bottom of each cinnamon roll in flour to prevent sugar spreading.

Cover the rolls and let them rest for 20-30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the rolls for 25 minutes.

In a bowl, mix 170 g of cream cheese with 40 g of soft butter and 100 g of powdered sugar to make frosting.

Spread half of the frosting over the hot cinnamon rolls right after baking so it melts and soaks in.

Spread the second layer of frosting over the rolls.
