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
- I would not freeze cupcakes that are decorated or frosted.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before placing them on a baking tray and then in the freezer to flash freeze for 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer and store in an airtight container or freezer safe plastic bag for up to 3 months.
- Remove the cupcakes from the freezer the night before you need them. Then decorate or frost them once fully defrosted.
Recipe FAQ's:
Since cinnamon rolls are sweet, serve them with scrambled eggs, a savory breakfast casserole and fresh fruit.
