Tips for Preparing Cinnamon Rolls

If you are preparing homemade cinnamon rolls, check out a few of these baking tips:

Don't kill the yeast. Using an instant read thermometer is the easiest way to make sure the water or milk isn't too hot to kill the yeast.
Use room temperature ingredients. It's okay to allow the eggs and butter to sit on the counter until they're no longer cold before adding them to the recipe.
Spread softened butter on the bread dough, not melted. Make sure the butter and cinnamon cover the dough completely before rolling up.
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slight before adding any frosting or icing. Adding toppings to hot cinnamon rolls will only cause the frosting to melt.

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Most cinnamon rolls should remain fresh for up to 5 days.
Reheat any leftovers in the microwave.

Freezing Tips

For most cinnamon roll recipes, you can freeze them before baking!
