:thumbup: These were such a hit at my Open House on Saturday and I have Chef Success to thank!

First of all THANK YOU to whoever it was that suggested cutting the dough using a piece of floss! It is SO much easier to do this way. When I was using a knife I was making such a goopy mess that the rolls looked less like rolls and more like little turds. (A bit gross, but its true!) So thank you to whomever suggested the awesome floss idea.

Also, thank you to whomever suggested stretching the new Cinnamon Sprinkles by using brown sugar. Not only did I not have to use nearly as much sprinkle but the brown sugar adds an extra punch and flavor that I thought the recipe needed.

I also decided to make thes cinnamon rolls a little bit more like a "Cinnabon" and melted some vanilla frosting (straight from the can) in the sm. microcooker and drizzled on top. HOLY COW, that made them so yummy-tastic my husband and his buddies call them "Evil Buns" because they can't stop eating them.

Just thought I would share. Thanks again to all you sharing cheffers and all your great ideas!:D
 
Bridget~

Glad they went over so well! They are super yummy, and your changes/additions sound sooooooooo good! :balloon:
 
That sounds great!! Thank you for summarizing all the great tips here and adding your own. I remember reading that too and thought I really should go buy some regular floss then. I don't think the wide minty fresh one I have will do.
 
I can't wait for winter. :eek: I want to bake a lot!!!! I can't do it in this heat though.:yuck:
 
ymmmss, I am doing these as my 2nd demo and will take your suggestions with! cream cheese frosting sounds really good right now!
 
What recipe did you use for this??

My DD wanted to make them this morning and I couldn't find my recipe.

Ok sorry for the stupid question but I don't know what you mean by cutting them with floss...do you just wrap it around them and then pull the ends to slice the rolls??
 
When I do these at my parties (I've done it about twice now) I show the Bread Knife just to be able to demo another product. It slices through the dough nicely without smooshing it and giving the buns a turd-effect.

the recipe is on the Sprinkles Bottle!
 
I'm going to be demoing this at all my "Real Food, Real Fast" shows that choose the brunch option! I'll do it as a second recipe and have it baking as guests come in. YUM!I hadn't seen the thread where people suggested brown sugar. About how much do you use?
 
I would just say that I am excited to make these I am doing a Stop and Shop in October and I am going to make these and brownies in the Mini Muffin Pan...Does anyone have any other ideas of quick things to make for this??

I added a few mini choc chips to mine, mmmmm!!!!
 
These are such great ideas. I hadn't tried anything but what was on the bottle. I will have to try adding the brown sugar too.

In answer to how to cut the buns with floss: Just slide a piece under the rolled-up dough and criss-cross the 2 ends all the way and it makes a neat slice. Repeat down the roll till finished.

In answer to how much I used of sugar and sprinkles: 2 tablespoons of brown sugar mixed with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cinn. sprinkles.

Hope this helps! ;)
 
Thank you Bridget for both of those answers. I only asked the one about the floss but will use both.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some toppings I can add to my cinnamon rolls to enhance their flavor?

You can enhance your cinnamon rolls by adding various toppings such as cream cheese frosting, maple glaze, or a simple powdered sugar icing. Additionally, consider sprinkling chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit on top for added texture and flavor.

How can I make my cinnamon rolls more moist and tender?

To achieve moist and tender cinnamon rolls, ensure you use fresh ingredients, especially yeast. Adding a bit of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the dough can also help retain moisture. Avoid overbaking, as this can dry them out; check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.

Can I incorporate different spices into my cinnamon rolls?

Absolutely! While cinnamon is the classic choice, you can experiment with other spices such as nutmeg, cardamom, or allspice to create a unique flavor profile. Mixing in a bit of vanilla extract or almond extract can also elevate the taste.

What can I do to make my cinnamon rolls more visually appealing?

To make your cinnamon rolls visually appealing, consider using a decorative icing drizzle or adding colorful sprinkles on top. You can also shape the rolls into different forms, such as knots or spirals, and arrange them in a visually pleasing pattern in the baking dish.

Is there a way to make my cinnamon rolls healthier without sacrificing taste?

Yes! You can make your cinnamon rolls healthier by using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, reducing the sugar content, or substituting some of the butter with applesauce or Greek yogurt. Adding nuts or seeds can also provide healthy fats and protein while enhancing the flavor.
