Soft Cinnamon Rolls

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Soft Cinnamon Rolls made with a simple homemade dough are super fluffy and light! Coat them in a perfect cream cheese glaze and let the baking begin!

You know you’re onto a winning Cinnamon Roll recipe when you see and feel how soft they are on the inside. Pulling them apart is heaven. Surprisingly easy to make and better than any store bought roll!

SOFT CINNAMON ROLLS

Nothing says Sunday morning like a warm, gooey batch of homemade Soft Cinnamon Rolls topped with a generous coating of cream cheese glaze! This is the only cinnamon roll recipe you will ever need! Incredibly soft and fluffy and yes, completely from scratch with a fast rise thanks to my oven proofing method explained below.

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLLS

START WITH THE YEAST

Combine the warm milk together with the melted butter, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, until frothy to activate the yeast.

Easy Soft Dinner Rolls is a simple recipe! No mixer needed, hardly ANY kneading, PLUS NO EGGS! Fluffy, soft and perfect dinner rolls!

MAKE YOUR ROLLS

To make the rolls, add the whisked egg to the milk mixture. Add in EXACTLY 3 1/2 cups flour and salt, and mix until a soft dough forms (the dough will be sticky). Knead until smooth and elastic (about 2 minutes kneading).

Your cinnamon roll dough should be tacky to the touch, but not too sticky so that it’s messy. If you add too little flour, the dough will be gluey and eventually result in dense rolls. If you add too much flour, the dough will be tough, resulting in dry rolls.

Easy Soft Dinner Rolls is a simple recipe! No mixer needed, hardly ANY kneading, PLUS NO EGGS! Fluffy, soft and perfect dinner rolls!

FAST RISE TIP

Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking oil spray and transfer the ball of dough into the bowl, turning once to coat in the oil.

Cover with a damp towel and transfer bowl of dough to a PREHEATED oven! Allow to rise for 30 minutes. (To check if dough is ready, gently press two fingers into dough. If an indentation remains, dough has not risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest for an additional 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

ROLL

Roll out your dough onto a lightly floured surface, into a 19-inch x 13–inch rectangle. Brush the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Gently rub the cinnamon mixture into the butter. Beginning at one long side, roll up dough tightly like a jelly-roll; then gently pinch the seam down to seal. Trim the ends for even slices, and cut dough into 12 or 15 slices.

SECOND RISE

After that, arrange the rolls in a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with the damp towel and allow to rise for a further 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool slightly before glazing.

CREAM CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Prepare icing while rolls are baking. Beat together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla, until smooth and creamy. Beat in the powdered sugar until lump free. Spread icing over rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!

HOW DO YOU KEEP CINNAMON ROLLS MOIST?

The key to keeping your cinnamon rolls moist is to store them airtight. Wrap your cinnamon rolls individually in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer bag. If you want to keep them in the pan, you can wrap the pan tightly as well. We recommend two layers to ensure they are airtight.

CAN YOU REFRIGERATE CINNAMON ROLL DOUGH?

Yes, your cinnamon roll dough can be refrigerated either after it’s kneaded and before the first rise or after the dough has risen and is shaped. You should cover the shaped dough tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Just LOOK at the fluff levels on this roll ↓

BAKING WITH YEAST

I get it, ‘yeast’ can be a scary word for those of us who aren’t confident bakers, however you shouldn’t let it intimidate you! I’ve managed to create this Soft Cinnamon Roll recipe in a faster prep time while still using yeast, so you’re not losing the fluffiness of a good cinnamon roll. Nothing beats yeast.

Prep: 1 hr 50 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Total: 2 hrs 15 mins
Serves: 12 - 15 rolls

Ingredients

YEAST:

  • 1 cup milk warmed to the touch (NOT HOT -- temp at 110°F or 45°C)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons quick-rise yeast (or look for instant or rapid-rise yeast)

ROLLS:

  • 1 large egg lightly whisked
  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose (or plain) flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking oil spray

FILLING:

  • 3/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

ICING:

  • 4 oz (110 g) cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 200°F (100°C).

FOR THE YEAST:

  • Combine the warm milk together with the melted butter, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, until frothy.

FOR THE ROLLS:

  • Add the whisked egg to the milk mixture. Add in EXACTLY 3 1/2 cups flour and salt, and mix until a soft dough forms (the dough will be sticky). Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 2 minutes kneading), occasionally rolling into the flour on your bench top to prevent the dough sticking to your fingers.
  • Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking oil spray and transfer the ball of dough to the bowl, turning once to coat in the oil. Cover with a damp towel. TURN OVEN OFF and transfer bowl of dough to the warm oven. Allow to rise for 30 minutes. (To check if dough is ready, gently press two fingers into dough. If an indentation remains, dough has not risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest for an additional 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface, into a 19-inch x 13–inch rectangle. Brush the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Gently rub the cinnamon mixture into the butter. Beginning at one long side, roll up dough tightly like a jelly-roll; then gently pinch the seam down to seal. Trim the ends for even slices, and cut dough into 12 or 15 slices.
  • Arrange the rolls in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with the damp towel and allow to rise for a further 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • While rising, preheat oven to 175°C | 350°F.
  • Uncover rolls; bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool slightly before glazing.

FOR THE ICING:

  • Prepare icing while rolls are baking. Beat together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla, until smooth and creamy. Beat in the powdered sugar until lump free. Spread icing over rolls. Serve warm.

Notes

*For the milk, use full fat, 2% or skim. Warm in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, then warm again for an additional 10-20 seconds. It should be warm to the touch. NOT TOO HOT or you will kill the yeast. If too hot, allow to cool slightly before proceeding with the yeast.

    Just a quick question, were we supposed to put the bowl of dough in the oven after we preheated it at 200°?

    Oh my goodness. I am NOT a baker nor a good cook by any stretch but these turned out AMAZING! I was worried because the dough was still a bit tacky after the two 30 minute rise periods but I figured what the heck, might as well try. So glad I did! I made a caramel base for the baking dish then put the cinnamon rolls on top, let them rise again, baked 22 minutes and voila! Soft, caramel, scratch-made cinnamon rolls. I overpacked the dish a bit not knowing better, so be sure to leave space between them for baking. Thank you for giving the gift of deliciousness!

    If you are having trouble with the dough being sticky, which it should be, just lightly flour a silicone baking mat such as a Silpat and knead the dough on that. It won’t stick and works perfectly!

    Hi Karina, The kids and adults went crazy for these. It was super easy to make and came out perfect. My question is: Can these be frozen once they are rolled and cut in pieces to cook later? If so, would I let them defrost over night in the fridge to pop in the oven the next morning? …..Thanks Christine

    I have a question-maybe someone can advise me. When I make cinnamon rolls there’s always ‘free space’ inside the roll-like they don’t hold together but can be unrolled very easily. I’m quite an experienced Baker and I make a lot of different yeast-based roll and I would say that I’m quite sure that the dough looks fine however I cannot figure out what mistake I’m making… Too much filling? Not rolled tightly enough? Too thin dough? Has anybody had similar issue and found a solution? Thanks so much in advance!

      Roll them tight and put them close together in the pan to rise. That should help them stay together. 🙂

    Tried baking this since there’s no Cinnabon where I live.

    It’s my first time using yeast and dealing with dough, so I’m really clueless.
    Baked using the air fryer instead of an oven.

    Do I need to do the window-pane test?

    It turned out good for a first time try.

    But the outside later is a little crispy, unlike the inside. The inside is perfect! Is it because I used the air fryer?

    Pleas help me out. I want to try again to ensure the outside is as soft as the inside.

      The rolls were so good they were compared to cinnabon. Followed the recipe exactly except mixed melted sugar, cinnamon and brown sugar to be brushed on roll. I was wondering whether I can freeze them before icing them. If I warm them in the oven after defrosting in the refrigerator would they be as good as fresh?

    I normally bake with yeast, but for some reason, even though I measured everything exactly, the dough came out tacky. The comments suggest that this is an easy to make dough. I don’t know what I did wrong.

    Here we are locked up at home and I decided to give these a shot. My first ever attempt at Cinnamon Rolls and you made me look like a pro! These are so delicious and the bread is so soft. We popped what was left in the microwave this morning and I think they’re even better the next day. I noticed milk in the ingredients for the icing, but based on comments didn’t add any. Thank you so much for bringing smiles into our home during such frightening times. I will definitely be trying more of your recipes!
    Stay safe and God bless!

    I just made these and they’re wonderful. Modified recipe by adding about 1/2 cup of raisins and about 1/4 cup of corn syrup to filling. Only used about 3/4 of the icing / glaze, but that could be because I needed to add additional icing / powdered sugar to get the right consistency. Next time I’ll start with 3/4 cup of sugar and hold back the milk, adding as necessary to get the right consistency.

    Still a fantastic recipe.

    Thanks.

THANK YOU for this recipe because while my kids will eat and enjoy ANYTHING called cinnamon rolls … Now i can thoroughly enjoy them too 🙂

        Had trouble with dough being super sticky and unable to be kneaded when I stirred in the flour (3 and 1/2 cups exactly). I double checked my measurements but it was no use I measured everything right. Not sure why this happened. I added extra flour to try and save to the dough. I ended up resorting to using my kitchenade to knead for me because it stayed sticky even after a good amount of additional flour. I am thinking maybe it is because I live in florida that ‘this happened…? Anyone have similar issues? The frosting came out amazing and the rolls are ok. Not great but they work. I just wish I knew what went wrong when so many people had no problem.

          I had this issue as well. I had to gradually keep adding extra flour as I kneaded and eventually the dough stopped sticking. I don’t think this happened because you live in Florida as I in the winter and had an experience similar to yours. But once I fixed the dough, everything went amazingly.

    Rarely do I leave a review, but this recipe is an exception! These cinnamon rolls turned out amazing! I did have to adjust the rise time to 45 minutes each time, slow yeast. I took the advice of another reviewer and lowered the temp to 325 and baked for 25 minutes. I’ve tried so many recipes, but these are the most perfect cinnamon rolls EVER! Thanks so much!

    My dough wasn’t setting I stuck it in the oven like you said but it sat in there for an hour and still left indents so my husband said to just roll it out and make them so we’ll see what happens

    Also the buns didn’t fill my whole 9/13 pan so we’ll see how they turn out. ?

    Your directions were easy to follow and it was fun to make and I hope they tast as good as they sound. ??

      Love ya… If your dough didn’t rise then your yeast was dormant. Yeast needs to be activated which is why you start it in warm milk or sugar water if it doesn’t not foam after 10 minutes it is no good and you will need different yeast 🙂

    Just finished baking these little heavens on a plate (that’s what we’re calling them).

    AMAZING!! Minimal ingredients. Already had everything on hand minus the cream cheese.

    They turned out so good. My kids LOVE them.

    This recipe was AMAZING! I was so nervous with this being the very first time I have ever made anything using Yeast, but they raised perfectly and they were so soft and delicious! We had a few left over and I just warmed it up for 15 seconds in the microwave and it tasted just as good! The only question I had, is one of my children isn’t a big cream cheese fan. Is there a way to make the icing taste a little less of cream cheese so they can’t notice?

      If you add a little bit more icing sugar it will help. What I do is had lemon grind in mine, with a little more icing sugar works like a charm.

    Omg i had such a time with this, but they turned out AMAZING! Im from the UK and I converted it into metric and made a half batch so was nervous how it would turn out. Very sticky dough but in bread baking “wetter is better” is often the mantra.

    Even to start with I had misread the recipe about the oven proving and thought it was 100 C and by the time id realized the dough was in there over 10 min, but i took it out and it just let it prove in the kitchen at room temp and it was fine. I think because i had turned the oven off maybe 5min before it was ok and it had got down to a low enough temp not to murder all the yeast.

    Lovely flavor and perfect soft dough. Thanks a lot!

    So I made this recipe on Christmas and had too many things going on (and although they were still edible), I overcooked them a bit! ?? SO, today I made redemption cinnamon rolls using this same recipe 🙂 the only thing I did differently was cook for 20 minutes at 325 instead of 25 min at 350 because I have a gas oven that cooks hotter than it should. I also rotated hlthe pan halfway through…they look amazing. I cant wait to try!!! ♡ Thank you!!!

    This recipe was a home run!!!! Decadent and full of yummy goodness! Just for my tweek; for the filling, I opted for 8 tbls of room temperature butter to spread on the dough before adding the cinnamon and brown sugar. For the brown sugar, I added 1 cup vs 1/2 cup. Either way…this recipe was awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing ??

I loved how these rolls perfectly cinnamony (if there is such a word), not too sweet, sticky enough yet fluffy. And very easy and quick to make. Amazing!

    I don’t know how people got sticky dough, because I got a nice firm yet elastic ball of dough, no mess and no sticking to fingers. I even had to use less flour (used about 2 cups). Maybe its because I used just soft, room temperature butter not melted butter, but oh well haha! Still came out delicious and fluffy!

    Hi Karina, I’m very new in baking and just rely on tried and tested (like yours) to teach myself and I just want to confirm this : “To check if dough is ready, gently press two fingers into dough. If an indentation remains, dough has not risen enough”. I’m a bit confused because other sources say that if an indentation remains if you press two fingers, then the dough is ready. Thank you so much.

    Hi Karina,
    I can admit to being a most experienced cook, 43 years to be exact. However, since I made your light and airy cinnamon rolls
    you have knocked off my crown. Firstly, the dough itself was amazing light as you said. Following your recipe “exactly” my rolls baked up to perfection. They were as simple to make as you declared. Next time,and there will be a next time, I may play them up a bit to make say chocolate chip buns with a vanilla icing. I have bookmarked your website for further recipes.
    Great recipes thanks again.

      Hi Sarah! I have made these the day before, rolled them and arranged them in a baking dish, covered and refrigerated overnight. No over proofing happened! They were just beautifully fluffy once baked 🙂 And yes, leave out for at least an hour before baking to bring your baking dish close to room temperature.

    Hi I would love to makes these for my sons upcoming birthday. Can you explain the oven portion a little more?. Step 2 states…”Cover with a damp towel. TURN OVEN OFF and transfer bowl of dough to the warm oven. ” Would you put the bowl into the oven or to rest onto the warm stove?.

      Hi Lisa. The bowl goes into the warm oven to help them rise faster 🙂

    Thank you for sharing! Doubled the batch which made about 30 rolls for a dinner we were hosting, and all of the rolls were gone by the end of the night. This is a recipe worth saving!

    Thank you for such a grea recipe !!!
    I have been wanting to make these for such a long time but thought they were too hard I’m a lazy baker haha but now I have I’ve done two batches this week !!!!!!! They are so ridiculously easy and the taste is well worth waiting for the yeast to activate and the dough to rise !!! Yummm yumm yummmm they were a hit with the grandparents too taking another lot over !! I think my kiddies one day will be keen to come home to these they are now in my list of go to treats !

    Hi hi, I am from Singapore and we only have instant yeast here. No indication whether it is fast acting kind or whatsoever. Is it ok to use this? And could you kindly advice what conversion should I use to convert your measurements from cup to grams?? Would love to try out your recipe. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much

    just wondering if it would be ok to use a yeast that i can put directly to the flour mixture. i always use it for making pizza also.

    made these for father’s day yesterday but instead of icing them I made them into cinnamon sticky buns by melting butter in the pan first and adding pecans and brown sugar, then layered the cinnamon rolls on top. after they baked, I turned the pan upside down onto a platter. they were amazing!

    Trying this recipe now and I’m pretty sure I did something wrong lol My daughter and I are make this and either I was a little heavy handed with the butter, we didn’t roll out the dough completely, or something. Either way I’ll try it again because the recipe was really easy!

    After checking the first rise out of the oven, punch down and let rise another 30 minutes, is that again in a 200 degree oven, or countertop?

    Hi Karina,

    Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but are you using American or Australian cup sizes? Just want to make extra sure because of the yeast.
    Cheers

    I am going to try these today. A couple of questions: 1. does it matter if I use bleached or unbleached flour?
    2. If I prepare night before, do I cover rolls, let rise, then place in fridge? Is there any rising time when I take from fridge to bake? Thanks so much!!

      Hi Debra! They can be stored at room temperature for a day or two covered with plastic wrap to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out. Or in the refrigerator for a week in an air tight container, or covered with plastic wrap. Just heat them up in the microwave before serving!

    Hi, I am trying your recipe for the first time. The supermarket did not have any quick rise variety (Woolworths in Sydney) so I have regular. I am thinking I should just double the resting time in between, has anyone tried this? Advice appreciated.
    many thanks!

      Hi Stephanie! I’m in Melbourne and use a yeast found in the baking isle of either Coles or Woolies called Instant Dried Yeast. It’s in a red tall container with a gold lid!

    Thank you Karina…I made these and a couple of other recipes during the past two weeks. They worked!!! After my divorce five years ago I kind of gave up on my passion of cooking. (Mind you my oven still sucks and I tend to overcook everything). My experience with Pinterest has been hit and miss…what an I saying…miss and miss. BUT you’re recipes work and my family enjoy them. So I have mainly ditched them and subscribed to your site. I am humming away again in the kitchen. So thank you and have a splendid new year! Looking forward to more of your creations.

    So many people freak out when “yeast” is mentioned in a recipe when in reality there is nothing to be scared of. Read the recipe and directions two or three times, have ingredients in order of use and have a really clean section of counter space for rolling out. Pull your hair back,wash your hands and get at it!!

    Can I prep the night before and bake in the morning? Would they be just as yummy if prepped (minus icing) and stored in fridge overnight? My Hopes were to bake these Christmas morning…

      You can definitely prep them and leave them in the refrigerator over night rolled in a dish and ready to bake! Leave them out for an hour before baking to bring to room temp for best results 🙂

    Correct me, if I’m wrong. You let the dough rise twice then fill. roll and let rise a third time before baking??? Looks and sounds yummy. Waiting to try……….
