Aromatic yeast dough is the best choice for thick and fluffy cinnamon rolls and goes perfectly with cinnamon and icing.

We have already tried different variations of Cinnabon Rolls, Cinnamon Buns and Kanelbullar, trying baking recipes with yeast or baking powder, with cottage cheese or milk and found the perfect yeast cake Cinnabon Rolls for us.
Delicious smell of Cinnabon Rolls
We have always been weak at the smell of fresh Cinnabon Rolls and have planned some detours to find a reason to go to an American IKEA, because there are some of the most delicious Cinnabon Rolls after the Cinnabon Rolls behind the cash registers. My favorite IKEA was always near Miami and a stop was just part of it on the way back from the shopping mall.
Now we’re even more excited to have that delicious cinnamon roll smell coming straight from our kitchen, because it doesn’t get any fresher or tastier than that. We are happy to share our favorite recipe for Cinnabon Rolls. In the meantime, we have tried a few recipes, but the snails with yeast still taste best to us. Variants with cottage cheese are unfortunately not as tasty as we would have liked.
Our recipe is fluffy soft and so really delicious with cinnamon and sugar. In addition, the icing and best still lukewarm from the oven. When you put the snails in the oven you should always keep in mind that they will still turn out and get bigger. I like it when the rolls touch and you have small broken edges.
And there you have it, your own delicious Cinnabon Rolls and Cinnabon Rolls ready to bake. The size and fluffiness of the cinnamon rolls depends on how thick or thin you roll out the dough. and how wide you cut the sections from the roll. We still try to get a good mix of lots of Little Cinnabon Rolls, rather than just 6 big cinnamon rolls. We are always happy to add 2-3 more cinnamon rolls…

Traditionally, we prefer to bake cinnamon rolls during the cooler months of the year and in the summer we enjoy our apple cakes, cream cakes, cheese cakes and plum cakes. Out on a special breakfast table, our Cinnamon Rolls pair perfectly with our sweet Brioche and homemade strawberry jam…
