Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing two round cake pans with a touch of butter to ensure your rolls come out perfectly.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your thawed bread dough and roll it out into a lovely rectangle, about 6 inches by 18 inches.

3. Step 3

   This is where the magic begins—brush the surface generously with melted butter, letting it soak in all that rich flavor.

4. Step 4

   In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and ground cinnamon to create a delightful filling.

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle this sweet mixture evenly over the buttered dough, making sure every inch is covered.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to roll! Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log, and don’t forget to moisten the edge with a little water to seal it tight.

7. Step 7

   Slice this beautiful log into 20 equal pieces, and place each roll cut-side down in your prepared cake pans.

8. Step 8

   Cover them with a towel and let them rise in a warm spot until they double in size—this should take about 90 minutes, so feel free to take a little break and imagine the deliciousness to come.

9. Step 9

   Once they’ve risen, pour heavy whipping cream evenly over the rolls in each pan, adding a touch of richness that will make them irresistible.

10. Step 10

    Bake your rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn a gorgeous golden brown.

11. Step 11

    While they’re baking, whisk together sifted confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a luscious glaze.

12. Step 12

    Once your cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle this sweet glaze over the top, letting it melt into every crevice.
