Cinnamon Rolls - Any flavor!

Red Star Yeast
Red Star Yeast
Baking success starts with the best yeast! I’ve loved Red Star Yeast since I first used it in culinary school. For these cinnamon rolls I love to use their Platinum Yeast, which provides professional results even if working with yeast intimidates you. This simple-to-use yeast strengthens and improves your dough, increasing oven spring and finished volume of any recipe.
Prizes Include

About the Recipe
Cinnamon Rolls
Tip One: Get creative with your cinnamon roll flavors! I show you how to make banana bread, caramel apple, and sticky pecan rolls here but you can create whatever your taste buds desire!
Tip Two: Don’t be afraid to use a lot of butter and cinnamon in the filling! This is what creates ooey, gooey, and flavorful rolls.
Tip Three: Make these ahead of time! Refrigerate assembled and shaped rolls after they have risen for 20 minutes. Cover the rolls tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 2 months. If freezing, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight. Loosen the plastic wrap and allow to finish rising and lose its chill at room temperature until an indentation made with your finger into the dough remains. Preheat the oven during this period then bake as directed.
