EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS

the recipe calls for traditional yeast and it’s what i’ve always used for these rolls. but i have made regular bread lots of times and have used instant yeast for that on occasion, and you need to only let it rise for about 20-30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size. no matter what yeast you use, your cinnamon rolls will turn out great! so if you’re in a hurry, or only have the instant yeast, feel free to use the instant yeast without fear of it not turning out!

enjoy making these easy cinnamon rolls! & see just how fast your family flocks to the kitchen once these cinnamon rolls hit the oven! this really depends on if you do a single batch, a double batch, or on how thin you like to roll it out. the thinner you roll it, the more rolls, or layers, you get in your cinnamon roll. i do a fairly thin layer and it ends up being approximately 24″-27″ wide by 18″ high. it looked almost like a big oval – it doesn’t have to be perfectly squared off at the corners. the uneven shape gives your hungry hubby some delicious raw cinnamon rolls from the end of your roll when cutting them!
