How to Make Semi-Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Here’s all you need to make delicious “almost” or semi-homemade cinnamon rolls.  They’re really easy to make and before you know it, you’ll gain the confidence you need to tackle yeast dough.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape.

Spread with butter.  The more the better.

Spread with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.  You can add chopped pecans too!

Starting from end start rolling the dough up.

Looks good!

How to Slice the Cinnamon Rolls

I like to use a serrated knife to cut the cinnamon rolls.  I know some people like to use dental floss.  I’ve never tried that method. If you do, make sure you use the unflavored dental floss, okay?

Allow the cinnamon rolls to rise until they are doubled in size.

See how much they’ve grown! They’re perfect and ready for the oven.

How to Ice the Cinnamon Rolls

Allow them to cool slightly before adding the cream cheese icing.  Or you’ll have a gooey mess on your hands.
