Instructions
Step 1
In warm milk, pour the *yeast*, mix, and then add the *sugar*. Mix and then add the sifted *flour*. Combine all ingredients until smooth. Allow the starter to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.
Step 2
Mix the *eggs* with *sugar*, add the *dough starter* and *salt*, and mix well. Add the softened *butter* and *flour*. Knead the dough.
Pro tip: Ensure the dough remains slightly sticky rather than overloaded with flour, so your cinnamon rolls are soft and fluffy. Gradually add flour, 300 grams at first, then 50 grams, and lastly a bit more until it reaches the desired texture.
Let the ready dough sit in a warm place for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 3
Once the dough has risen, place it on a flat surface, stretch it out by hand, or roll it with a rolling pin. Spread generously with softened *butter* — no need to skimp. Sprinkle with *sugar* and *cinnamon*, and then roll the dough into a log shape. Cut into pieces with a sharp knife or string.
Place the pieces on a baking tray and allow them to rise for 20-30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes, adjusting slightly if needed, until they achieve a golden brown color.
Step 5
Whip *cream cheese* with *sour cream* in a 40:60 ratio, where 40% is cream cheese, and 60% is sour cream. Add powdered *sugar* to taste. Use a mixer or whisk to beat until the mixture is slightly airy and thick.
Spread the cream on the slightly cooled cinnamon rolls, then let them sit to cool completely.
Step 6
Serve the cinnamon rolls fresh; they are incredibly delicious!

Variations
Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations 🌱
Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls: Substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum for better elasticity. Make sure your flour blend is cup-for-cup to make measurements easier.
Vegan Cinnamon Rolls: Replace the eggs with a mixture of flaxseed and water (one tablespoon of flaxseed meal + three tablespoons of water for each egg), and use vegan butter and plant-based milk. For the frosting, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream instead of traditional ingredients.
These variations allow everyone to enjoy the deliciousness of homemade cinnamon rolls, even those with dietary restrictions! 🌟
Faq
- Why is my dough not rising properly?
This could be due to old or inactive yeast. Make sure your yeast is fresh and your warm milk is at the right temperature—around 40°C (104°F).
- How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls should be golden brown on top and cooked through inside. You can insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they are done.
- Why is my dough sticky?
It's better for the dough to be slightly sticky rather than too dry. Add flour gradually until the texture is right, but avoid over-flouring to keep the rolls soft.
- How can I ensure my rolls are evenly sized?
Use a measured rolling pin and slice the dough with a sharp knife or dental floss to get even pieces.
- Can I prepare the rolls the night before?
Yes! After shaping the rolls, cover them and refrigerate overnight. Let them come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before baking the next morning.
- What's the best way to reheat leftover cinnamon rolls?
Reheat them in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for about 10 minutes or until warm. You can also microwave for about 20-30 seconds, though the oven method retains their original texture better.
