Save yourself a lot of money by making your own homemade cinnamon rolls, by using this Best Ever Cinnabon Rolls recipe!

Dough:

Ingredients:

• 250 ml full cream milk
• 125 ml + 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
• 15 ml instant dry yeast
• 2 extra-large eggs
• 6 x 15 ml of melted butter
• 5 ml vanilla essence
• 4 x 250 ml Cake flour
• 5 ml fine salt

Method:

• Warm the milk for 60 seconds in a Microwave. The milk should be warm, NOT hot.
• Place the milk in a standing mixer bowl.
• Add 15 ml sugar (1 tablespoon) as well as 15 ml yeast to the warm milk.
• Stir and let it froth for 5 minutes, or until it forms a frothy top.
• This will depend on the temperature in your kitchen and where you reside.
• Add the 125 ml sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla essence to the mixing bowl.
• If you have one, use the hooks to stir until combined.
• Add flour and salt.
• Start on a low speed and gently increase to a higher speed.
• You can also use a food processor with a cake-mixing blade.
• Take out the dough and knead for 3 minutes.
• The dough must be smooth.
• If sticky, add 1 tablespoon flour and keep kneading.
• Oil the inside of a bowl with a lid and let the dough rise in a warm place for 2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
• If you’re lucky enough to own a large wonder cooker bag, you can use that.
• Take out the dough and knock it down until all gas is out.
• Roll out on a floured surface with a marble rolling pin into a rectangular shape.
• It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
