Kayla Gonzales, Co-Editor in Chief

Hi I'm Kayla! I've been the co-editor in Chief since last school year, and I enjoy writing and editing stories. I love learning various things and watching anime or Netflix shows. My favorite thing to collect is stickers and I hope to have a career where I can combine all of my favorite passions.

This is a close up image of the sliced rolls. I recommend sprinkling any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture all over the rolls.

How To Make Cinnamon Rolls At Home

Finally, enjoy! These are so delicious. If you accidentally over baked the rolls, do not worry. Put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and dive into the soft and delicious cinnamon rolls.

[Photo]

Let the cinnamon rolls cool completely before frosting and serving. Spread the frosting evenly over each roll.

[Photo]

Remove the rolls from the oven (make sure you do not over bake them or they will be hard).

[Photo]

Make the frosting while the rolls are baking. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat the ingredients until smooth then add the vanilla until it is just combined. Add the confectioners sugar and beat just until combined.

[Photo]

Arrange all the cinnamon rolls in a pan greased with butter. You can even add the extra trimmed off pieces (to not waste anything). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until they are pale golden and baked through.

[Photo]

Beginning at the long end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Trim off the edges then slice the log into about 9 rolls.

[Photo]

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the dough.

[Photo]

Brush the dough all over with melted butter.

[Photo]

Lightly flour your work surface again and roll the dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle.

[Photo]

Gather all the ingredients to start. Refer to the full article for measurements.

[Photo]

At this point, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon and brown sugar.

[Photo]

Cover the dough loosely with a damp towel and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

[Photo]

Knead the dough until it comes together in a smooth ball. If it feels too sticky, add more flour as needed. Be careful not to over-knead the dough.

[Photo]

Flour your work surface before putting your dough onto it.

[Photo]

Using a spatula, mix just until combined.

Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture

[Photo]

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

[Photo]

In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the milk and butter. Cook it until the butter is melted and make sure to cook the milk and butter at the same time. Cold milk will cause the butter to solidify and lead to an uneven dough. (Image shows milk and butter before being heated)
