Tips

  • The dough should be tacky but not sticky.
  • Double the filling recipe for more flavor.
  • Cinnamon rolls are best served warm with a glass of milk.
  • You can stop after placing the sliced rolls in the baking dish and refrigerate them overnight. If refrigerating, let them come to room temperature before baking.
