Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
This Homemade Cinnamon Roll recipe is SO easy!! Plus, you can use the same recipe to make bread! If fact, I usually do both. And, start to finish it takes less than 2.5 hours! Bonus: there is no kneading of the bread dough!
For a picture tutorial of how to get the dough, check out the No Knead Bread Recipe.
- Once you get the dough made, place it on a floured counter and roll it out until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (I usually do this in two batches, my counter isn’t big enough to do it all in one… Or I make 1/2 bread and 1/ cinnamon rolls)
- Slice butter into 1/4 in thick patties, and place on dough
- Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle all of it over dough (should be pretty thick)
- Roll up dough, and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- Place in greased baking pan

YES. I’d like a cinnamon roll and the Miss Petite lunching on one! She is so cute…
curious how many does this make seems like a lot for all that flour and butter.
The whole batch? 3-4 9×11 pyrex pans, depending on how thick you make them. 12-15 in a pan, so 36-60, depending on size.
I almost always make 3 loaves of bread, and a thing of cinnamon rolls… 🙂 Unless I’m cooking for a party!
Thank you. I am looking forward to making these they seem so much easier than a lot of other recipes.
Just wondering if you use regular flour or bread flour? Thank you!
regular flour 🙂
