Super Soft & Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

The softest cinnamon rolls I ever made! Before they used to turn out so dry and crummy, but now I don't use any other recipe than this one!

DOUGH (CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR METRIC MEASUREMENTS)
2½ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup whole milk
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
¼ cup water

FILLING
¼ cup butter soft
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
pinch salt

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
2 tablespoons butter room temperature
¾ - 1 cup confectioner's sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS


For the dough, combine in a large bowl the flour, sugar, instant yeast and salt. Heat milk in a small pot over the stove or in the microwave until quite warm. Add butter and stir until melted. Add vegetable oil and vanilla.
Cool milk mixture to lukewarm if necessary. You should barely be able to feel it when you stick your finger in it. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add milk mixture. Add egg and water. Mix by hand or using stand mixer until the mixture forms a very soft, sticky dough. Knead 6-8 minutes using the dough hook attachment or by hand. Add 2-3 tablespoons of flour if the dough looks too much like a thick batter, but it should still be very sticky. If the dough is very dry and easy to handle, add more water to make it sticky. Knead until it feels very smooth. Cover well with plastic wrap and proof for 1½ - 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
While dough is rising, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the filling. Once the dough has proofed, roll out into a rectangle that measures 15x10 inches. Use a small amount of flour on your work surface to prevent sticking. Spread the soft butter over entire surface of the dough, then sprinkle on the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Starting from long edge closest to you, roll dough as tightly as you can. When you reach the end, pinch the seam very well to seal.
Using a sharp knife or a piece of string, cut the roll into 8-12 buns. Arrange evenly in a buttered parchment lined 14 x 8 inch pan and cover with plastic. Allow to rise in a warm place for another 45-60 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Bake rolls for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked in the middles. Set aside to cool while making the frosting.
For frosting, cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer. Slowly add the powdered sugar, a couple of tablespoons at a time, creaming well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until smooth.
Frost cinnamon rolls while they are still slightly warm but not too hot. The frosting should not melt. Serve immediately or keep well wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

I made this tonight to cheer up my husband. He’s been a chef for over a decade and studied cooking and pastry making. He said they were so good, he didn’t think he could suggest anything to make it better. They are the best cinnamon rolls he’s ever had.

Thank you!!

I made these and as soon as I took a bite I was super impressed. These are the BEST cinnamon rolls I have ever had. They are better than my grandmas cinnamon rolls. Everyone that has eaten these has said I can make these again because they are the best they have ever eaten. I have made several different cinnamon rolls from youtube videos. I will now be only making these.

This was my first time ever making cinnamon rolls from scratch and they turned out SOOOO good. I went easy on the icing though bc it was super rich!

[wildstrawberries]

Most cinnamon rolls recipes I’ve tried were a little dry for my liking, even with some of the pumpkin cinnamon rolls recipes. I had to use your recipe to improvise a pumpkin spice cinnamon version❤ i really love how super fluffy and moist my rolls came out every time I go by your recipe 😊

Made a pan of these today. They're delicious. (I didn't have cream cheese so made up an icing w/butter, sugar, milk and vanilla.) Thanks for the recipe. It's easy and yummy.

Hands down the easiest and best recipe! Thank you for sharing!

I made these again with a twist. I used date sugar in the filling instead of brown sugar. They actually taste better than with brown sugar. They are not as sweet which I like that very much. Thanks again for sharing this amazing recipe.
