Easy Cinnamon Rolls
These turned out so light and fluffy and gooey. I love them. As they say third time lucky so after my third try I got perfect Cinnamon Rolls. Did I mention they are also egg-free, yes they are! This recipe was on my list for a while. When I attempted it the first two times I always felt it lacked something or the texture wasn’t exactly right. For now I think I am totally satisfied with the results. You should all know me and the low sugar by now but feel free to adjust the quantity of sugar as you wish.
Ingredients Required for this recipe:
For these cinnamon rolls you will require cake wheat flour or all purpose flour, yeast, sugar, salt, butter and milk. This recipe has no eggs so those that don’t eat eggs can also enjoy it. You can also use bread flour for this recipe, however I prefer to recommend ingredients that are easily at hand. When using yeast always ensure it is fresh. It makes all the difference. I prefer to use instant dry yeast. But you can use active yeast too if you prefer.
How to make the Cinnamon Rolls
The dough is really soft for these rolls, the way it should be. Although I do recommend a stand mixer you can also use your hands to make the dough. It is a very soft dough so it will feel very sticky at first. Don’t be tempted to add flour, a little sprinkle is ok. Oil your hands and knead the dough, it will feel less sticky. As you keep kneading the dough you will find that the dough will be less sticky. It should take about 12 minutes to knead by hand and 8 minutes in a stand mixer. The dough will be smooth and silky and pull away from the sides of the bowl. The dough needs to rest for an hour and again for 30 minutes. Always let your dough rest in a warm environment to allow it to rise. I usually turn the oven on on the lowest setting just until it starts to warm a little. I turn it off and place my covered dough in the oven. It does speed up the process.
Cutting the dough with a piece of floss, yes the one you use for your teeth works best. A clean piece please and the one without any taste. You can use a sugar glaze for the top, will give you a recipe for that in the notes. This time I did make a cream cheese frosting and it was so good. You can refrigerate these rolls for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Best to reheat the leftovers for a few seconds in the microwave before serving Please let me know how it turns out if you do try my recipe.
