Quick and Easy Cinnamon Rolls

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

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious journey, grab a small saucepan and gently heat the milk until it feels hot to the touch or you see tiny bubbles forming around the edges.

2. Step 2

   Once it’s ready, take it off the heat and stir in the margarine until it melts beautifully.

3. Step 3

   Set this aside to cool just a bit.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, white sugar, instant yeast, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Pour in the warm milk mixture, add some water, and crack in an egg.

6. Step 6

   Mix everything together until it’s well combined.

7. Step 7

   Now, gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, half a cup at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition until the dough starts to come together.

8. Step 8

   Next, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

9. Step 9

   Once you’ve worked your magic, cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

10. Step 10

    While the dough is taking a little break, whip up a delightful filling by mixing together brown sugar, softened margarine, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

11. Step 11

    Set this sweet mixture aside for later.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin pan to ensure those rolls come out easily.

13. Step 13

    Roll the rested dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle that measures about 12x9 inches.

14. Step 14

    Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough, and if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some raisins on top for an extra burst of flavor.

15. Step 15

    Carefully roll the dough up tightly, pinching the seam to seal in all that goodness.

16. Step 16

    Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side up into the prepared muffin cups.

17. Step 17

    Cover them gently and let them rise until they’ve doubled in size, which should take about 30 minutes.

18. Step 18

    Once they’ve risen to perfection, pop them into your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and irresistible.

19. Step 19

    When they’re done, remove the rolls from the muffin cups and let them cool on a wire rack.

20. Step 20

    Serve them warm, and enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of your homemade rolls!.
