This Cinnamon Roll Recipe Requires A Bit Of Work, But It’s Totally Worth It
If you have a sweet tooth, I’m sure cinnamon rolls must be near the top of your list of favorite sweet treats. Cinnamon rolls are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They’re soft, fluffy, delicious, and delightfully gooey. And you can bake them right at home!
Mariam (@mxriyum) on TikTok has an excellent recipe for cinnamon rolls that she’s finally perfected and has been dying to share with her viewers. The process of making them from scratch does require a bit of work, but the end result is worth it.
To begin, you must create a yeast mixture and let it rest for ten minutes.
Yeast Mixture Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of lukewarm water
- 2 1/2 teaspoons of active yeast
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
Next, in a separate bowl, add in all the ingredients for the dough. Add in the yeast mixture last and mix everything together until it resembles dough.
Dough Ingredients:
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, whisked
- 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- Yeast mixture

Once the ingredients are all mixed together, take your dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for eight to ten minutes until it’s nice and smooth.
Take the dough and place it in a lightly floured bowl. Let it rest for an hour and a half to two hours or until it has doubled in size.
Gently punch your dough and bring it to a lightly floured surface yet again. Pull the dough out until it is about half an inch thick.
Then, you’re going to add a filling. Make sure to pack your brown sugar when measuring it out.
Packing brown sugar means to press it down firmly in the measuring cup with the back of a spoon. This ensures that there will not be any air pockets between the grains of sugar, which would affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup of brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
- A dash of nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1/3 cup of room temperature butter, unsalted
Once there is an even layer of filling spread all around the dough, roll the dough up tightly. Cut the rolled-up dough into sections using a long piece of dental floss to create uniform-looking rolls.
Let them rest for thirty minutes. After the time is up, add a tablespoon of heavy cream on top of each roll.
Bake them at three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit for about twenty-five to thirty minutes. You don’t want to bake them for too long, so that they’ll still be nice and gooey!
After you take them out of the oven, the last step is to add frosting.
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 3/4 cup of powdered sugar
- Add one teaspoon of French vanilla coffee creamer at a time until you’re satisfied with the consistency
