Not only are these cinnamon rolls the best cinnamon rolls you’ll ever taste, but they are super easy to make too. They take time, but they are easy!
PLUS ~ You can make them the day before and put them in the refrigerator overnight. They will take just 15-20 minutes the next morning and taste just like you wok up at 4am to slave over them.
Best Cinnamon Roll Recipe
Put all the following ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended by your bread machine (we do wet followed by dry, ending with yeast):
- 1 cup warm milk (I microwave it for 2 minutes, pour in the machine, and allow to cool while I gather all the other ingredients)
- 6 Tablespoons butter melted (microwave 30 seconds)
- 2 eggs (make sure your other ingredients are ready to add in so egg doesn’t start to cook in warm milk or butter)
- 1 teas salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
Set your bread machine for the dough cycle which will take about 90 minutes.
Put dough on a floured surface, cover with a towel, and allow to rest 10 minutes.
While the dough rests, mix together the filling:
- 6 Tablespoons soft butter (not melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
This dough comes out perfect. No kneading or re-rolling with this dough; it is literally perfect.
Roll out the dough until it is about 16x21”. Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.
Roll up the dough carefully and tightly.
Now you have a 16” swirled log. Carefully cut 12 slices.
Hint: To make sure they are even start by cutting the log in half, then each half in half. Then each of these 4 sections gets cut into 3 pieces.
I recommend using a bread knife so that the dough will maintain it’s shape. Just be careful that you do it on a cutting board or don’t cut all the way down or it could damage your counter top.
Place each of the 12 slices in a buttered 9x13 pan.
SAVE FOR TOMORROW: At this point you can cover the pan and put it in the refrigerator and bake it tomorrow morning. It will taste exactly the same and will make the morning a breeze!
Cover and allow the rolls to rest on top of the oven for 30 minutes while the oven preheats.
Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.
While the cinnamon rolls bake whip up a batch of our favorite frosting:
- 5 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 teas vanilla
- several dashes of salt
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
As soon as the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven spread the frosting on top. The heat will melt the frosting. YUM!
Here you have the best cinnamon roll you will ever taste! Way better than a Cinnabon. They are best eaten immediately.

HINT: If you don't have a bread machine, knead dough 5 minutes, using only as much flour as you need to not let it stick to your hands. Put in bowl, cover with damp towel and set in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours. - Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface in a large rectangle (about 12x15").

- Cut cinnamon roll log into 12 equal slices and put in buttered 9x13 pan and allow to sit for 30 minutes while oven preheats to 400 F.
HINT: I use a knife to cut bread so the rolls keep their nice circle shape. - Bake for 15 minutes. While baking whip together frosting. Spread frosting on hot rolls that just came out of the oven. Serve warm.
notes
You can make these rolls ahead of time by going all the way up to the step where you put the rolled up dough in the buttered 9x13 pan. No refrigerate up to 2 days. Let pan come to room temperature while you preheat the oven; cook and frost as usual.
