Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Cultural Context

Cinnamon rolls are a beloved treat in American cuisine, often enjoyed for breakfast or as a dessert. They are especially popular during holidays and family gatherings, where their warm, sweet aroma fills the home. The dish has roots in Scandinavian baking traditions, where similar sweet rolls are made, but the American version has become a staple in many households, often served with cream cheese frosting or icing.

Bloom the yeast in warmed milk with granulated sugar and melted butter for about 10 minutes until bubbly.

4

Butter the baking tins using a butter wrapper to prevent sticking.

5

Make the filling by combining softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon; spread evenly over the rolled dough.

6

After the dough has risen, add another cup of flour, baking powder, and salt; stir until combined.

7

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.

8

Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, and roll it tightly.

9

Use dental floss to cut the rolls for even slices.

10

Place the rolls in the buttered tins and let them rise until puffy before baking.
