Former Cinnabon employee here! (But this was also a decade ago, so who knows what’s changed since then.) There aren’t actually that many differences in what you did vs what was done in store. I don’t think there are truly *that* many ways to roll up a cinnamon bun and still call it a cinnamon bun. The biggest difference I think would be margarine vs butter, and adding vanilla to the icing (pretty sure the store icing was literally just cream cheese and sugar). The tip I’d give for avoiding old, hard buns? Just call ahead and ask for a fresh box at a certain time instead of dropping in and picking up a box. See, we really did bake multiple batches through the day, but the freshest ones would be for people buying a single serving first. Once they’ve been behind the front counter long enough, *then* they get transferred to a box after they’ve had enough time to cool (and more icing added to hide that the buns were likely from different batches, since some would have been sold as single servings earlier.) The fact that they’re in a box at all means they’ve probably been out for a few hours, and then left in the box for who knows how long. And though no box should ever be older than a day, the product in a box could be from a few hours ago, or it could be from first thing in the morning several hours ago. It just depends on what has sold that day. Here is where I would challenge you do re-do this using a fresh bun from Cinnabon...but a) just because I worked there doesn’t mean I’m especially invested in protecting the honour of the Cinnamony Giant, and b) ...butter and vanilla alone, dude. (I’m sure those aren’t the only differences, but do we really need to keep tally past that point?) You’d totally still make a better end product, it’s just that it might not be such a landslide victory.
I gotta add this because it’s the internet, when I say “call ahead” I really mean it. If you want an entire fresh box for yourself, call ahead and ask for a fresh box at a particular time and pick it up then. What I definitely do NOT mean is showing up unannounced and demanding a fresh batch on the spot, harassing employees, or throwing a tantrum and messing up everyone’s flow because you saw someone take a batch out of the oven and are now demanding they sell you something they literally aren’t supposed to yet. If you really, really want that fresh, fresh dozen in a box instead of in the store, just ask nicely ahead of time, please.
Your comment makes so much sense! I have always bought a single bun, so I was looking at Josh's box crazy bc all of the ones I bought in person were superior.
hello. i have made a very terrible mistake which was making this recipe. I LITERALLY get requests from my family EVERY WEEK TO MAKE THESE. They hold me against my will and I've already made them 6 times this year (WE'RE ONLY IN FEBRUARY!!!!!) because of it. bake at your own risk, or just dont tell anyone and eat them all by yourself
Fun fact: when Cinnabon was bought out by a large corporation, the stores started using frozen dough to save money, which is why they are crap. But the original owner kept a few stores in the northwest for himself, and they still make their dough fresh everyday. So you have to come to Washington to get a good roll that can handle the competition. 🙂
The mall I go to that has Cinnabon in CA has the rolls rolled in front of you and everything. It’s delicious and heavenly . Especially the fact that it’s the perfect temperature and the gooey parcooked sugary goodness at the center 🤤🤤
Same here in the philippines, every cinnabon I see has a little glass area where you can see employees rolling the dough in front of you. Absolutely decadent, a shame it's so rare.
I made these cinnamon rolls February 2021 for my husband to take with him to work. He excitedly took a bite and then extreme confusion followed on his face. "What's wrong? Is it bad?" "No.." he said slowly, taking another bite to chew thoughtful, "I'm not sure what it is about this recipe, but it tastes like nothing." "What..." I also took a bite, "Oh that's strange, you're right though." And then it dawned on us at the same time. Anyways, your cinnamon rolls are how we found out we had Covid. Trying to make them again 2.5 years later, hopefully we can taste them this time.
INGREDIENTS: Dough: 4 cups (580g) all-purpose flour (I used bread flour) ( you also may need extra flour I didn’t have to but just for the record) 1/2 cup (107g) granulated sugar 3/4 tsp (6g) fine sea salt 1/3 cup (84g) butter 1 cup (235g) lukewarm whole milk 21/4 tsp (7g ) instant yeast 2 eggs 1 egg yolk Filling: 1 cup (225g) brown sugar 1 Tbsp (14g) muscovado sugar 2.5 Tbsp (17g) cinnamon 1/3 cup (84g) butter Vanilla bean Cream Cheese Glaze: 4 oz (115g) cream cheese 3/4 (90g) cups powdered sugar 1 vanilla bean 3 Tbsp (45ml) whole milk
Cinnabon cinnamon rolls (I included directions!)

Roll into ball and let sit in bowl covered with a damp towel/plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled. 5. Cinnamon sugar- whisk together brown sugar and cinnamon 6. Lightly flour a work surface and punch then dump out dough. Roll into large rectangle- little over 1/4 of an inch thick 7. Spread really softened butter all across the surface of dough and sprinkle all of cinnamon sugar evenly across 8. Tightly roll and cut with a serrated knife into about 2 inch thick segments- 12 solid rolls! 9. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and fill pan with rolls- face tails towards each other. Let proof (once again covered) for about an hour or until 1.5 times original size 10. Bake in preheated oven at 375 farenheit or 190 celsius for 15-20 minutes or until plump golden brown 11. Glaze- whisk cream cheese until smooth and add powdered sugar, then milk. Add vanilla bean seeds/extract and drizzle glaze on baked rolls.
I made these for the past 2 years and they are now a Christmas morning tradition. I use a different icing recipe to make a lemon icing and it's a game changer.
Oh my god, this was the first time I’ve ever made homemade cinnamon rolls. THEY WERE SO GOOD!!!!!!! The cinnamon roll was soft and buttery and just amazing and the cream cheese frosting was honestly heavenly.
A tip I’ve always done that I think makes the most “Cinnabon” like rolls is pouring 1/2 cup of warm cream over the rolls right before you put them in the oven. It’s that extra gooey deliciousness that just makes the cinnamon buns! *edited from 1 cup to a 1/2c! I’ve been eyeballing it so long that I don’t measure- but just checked back at my notes!
Jake Green I’ll have to check back at my notes for the original amount because I’ve done it so much I just eye ball it now! But regardless I feel like you at least need some!
Just made this for me and my family, so here are a few extra tips. 1 like Josh said don't be afraid to do it by hand if you don't have a dough hook. i don't have one and it turned out great, but it did take a lot longer and took a little bit of extra flour added later for it to really come together. 2 any time he calls for whole milk in this you can use other milks. My parents and I recently switched to almond milk instead of normal milk and I used that instead and it worked just as well. 3 make sure to roll them up nice and tight. I rolled mine a little loose and some of them ended up rising straight up like mountains, but they still rose the same way. 4 if you don't have the luxury of having vanilla beans use vanilla extract! it tastes great in the icing and is a lot easier to get your hands on. use 1.5 teaspoons of extract if this is the case. finally, have fun while you're doing it! working with dough can be aggravating sometimes, but in the end it is so worth it. these are easily the best cinnamon buns I have ever had, and I will likely make them again!
i just tried making it by hand but as soon as i put my dough on the counter to try and mix it by hand it stuck EVERYWHERE and i had to throw away the dough, i dont understand why this happened i used exactly the measurements he gave. any suggestions bud ?
@@yannz8617 it is a very sticky dough. when I made it, it stuck to my table a lot, but that's ok. just keep on kneading and flour up your hands. if it's sticky to the point where you can't knead it, then add a little bit of flour and keep going. it takes a little while (took me at least 10-15 minutes) but it's worth it
Ganon B oh that sucks. I almost thought the same thing but I just kept working at it. I didn’t add flour but I really should have. It worked out in the end and they are amazing!
Trish Fish you don’t wanna add too much. Just while you’re mixing it and it’s still really sticky just grab a pinch, mix it some more, add more dough, etc until it’s not ridiculously sticky
Afraid I did mine wrong. Although I used all the correct measurements, my dough wasn’t super sticky out of the bowl after incorporating all the ingredients by hand. It was rather kind of dry until i kneaded it. But still didn’t end up super sticky as it shows in the video. I was afraid to add more flour because it would make it more dry? I’m letting it sit and rise right now. Hopefully it’ll become sticky itself together somehow in the process lol
I made them 11pm and stayed up at 2:30am. I left them in the oven for 15 minutes but it wasn't ready so I just thought (I'm gonna wait 5 more minutes) 5 hours later I wake up and took them out. Perfect black rolls, as hard as charcoal. Warning! do not bake Cinnamon rolls in the late evening.🤣 Time to start over.
@Beautiful Disaster it is amazing!! i am making them now for the second time.. and then when i wanted to add the eggs i only found one :) haha running to the store now
4-5 years ago my mom and I started a tradition of making cinnamon rolls on Christmas Eve and baking them early Christmas morning, so they could be enjoyed after presents and breakfast. I don’t remember which recipe we tried the first year, but they were good, the second year we tried a different recipe and it did not turn out well. 2-3 years ago I tried this recipe and it was amazing! I’ve been making it ever since; the cinnamon buns are soft and super decadent. Pro tip: instead of having the butter and cinnamon sugar separate, combine them together, make sure the mix is soft, and spread. This makes it so you get an even cinnamony experience, and it’s turned out great for me. Thanks Josh for this recipe! It’s amazing!
UPDATE - I’ve made these twice in the past week, and my fiancée and I have dubbed these cinnamon rolls a new tradition for our Easter celebration. Just... Holy shit yall, these are amazing. To whoever actually reads this - if you haven’t already made these, get to it!
Did you measure your flour by weight, or volume? I want to make them, but I’m confused, because 580 grams of flour is not 4 cups, unless he’s accounting for the usual over weight that happens when using volume, vs weight? I’m so confused
Ive made a lot of cinnamon roll recipes and your recipe is by far the best. The recipes online are always too cakey or the middle isnt gooey enough or way too sweet. Yours has the perfect texture as well as the perfect balance of sweetness and butteriness and, just everything. Nothing is overpowering. All of it works together. Thank you for another amazing recipe. So glad i discovered your channel. In 1 week, I've made 4 of your recipes and each one is amazing
My man D.A.M.N! ive tried a lot of so called cinnabon "copycat" recipes. However...yours is the king of them all. For those that will try it take note: 1. for some reason my dough took very long to double in size, approximately 2.5 hours (im being generous) i thoughti jad messed up the dough. Even after rolling and filling it did not rise that much. At that i was like ive come this far might as well bake it. The results were so close to the original i thought i was dreaming. So if for some reason your dough takes longer than mentioned in the video dont lose hope! 2. The filling seems to be too much but i still used all of it, some spilledout and i thout it was going to create a burnt caramel crust however the opposite happened...it createda beaitiful gooey centre once the icing was poured on and i reheated them the next morning...it was heaven. So dont reduce the sugar fr filling its perfect. 3. For the filling i also added 3tbspn of cocoa powder and it ensured that the spirals have that nice darkness without being chocolatey...thats how they look like in south africa anyway. I feared cinnamon and sugar only might not do the trick! JW you have an overnight success man i love your content keep it coming, my wife and i love your work!!!!!!!
I believe raising time really depends on the room temperature, make sure it’s in warm place, sometimes i would heat the oven for 10 mins then turn it off and place my dough in it
Yay South Africa, what type of flour did you use? Also we don't have "all purpose" flour in SA we have either bread or cake flour so for the dough to rise better the bread flour is better it won't taste like bread. Or you can do half and half if you want
@@tatianachock6758 yeah you can, but put it in the fridge after an hour or two. If you keep them out in room temperature it gets a sourbread type flavor. (You have to leave it out of the fridge for an hour or 2 so it actually rises)
I worked at Cinnabon for 4 years while in high school. I have two tips that will make baking cinnamon rolls easier: 1. when spreading the butter and cinnamon all over the dough, leave a 1 inch strip of dough bare (either at the top or bottom of your rectangle, depending on which way you roll the log - I roll from the top towards me, so I leave the 1-inch strip at the bottom closest to me). This will allow your log to stick to itself and seal; 2. use a bread knife to cut the cinnamon rolls right when the come out of the oven, and also frost them liberally right when they come out of the oven, that way the icing will melt into the crevices. You can always add more icing later.
"use a bread knife to cut the cinnamon rolls right when the come out of the oven" - So you bake it as a whole log and don't cut into rolls until after baking???
@@hismusicnme No. Sorry, I should have been more clear. Do exactly what he does in the video (cut the log before baking). During the bake, the rolls fuse and stick to each other making it difficult to take just one of them out of the dish to serve it. My tip is to take a bread knife and cute where the buns are touching each other (before frosting) so that you can scoop just one roll out of the tray without ripping its neighbouring bun.
Hi. I want to ask whether it is possible to make the same dough at home as in Cinnabon, or there is still some special dough recipe, maybe with different improvers, which is impossible to do at home.
@@indraaaaaaaaaa One of the ingredients in the Cinnabon dough recipe is a dry « base mix ». Employees don’t know what’s in it, but you can certainly make something similar at home. I’ve made the recipe from AllRecipies and it worked well: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20156/clone-of-a-cinnabon/. It’s more technique than anything else. Rolling and proofing properly are important.
I’ve got to say that this recipe is absolutely delicious! It’s Christmas Eve and my wife and I baked this cinnamon rolls. The family loved them. Thanks a lot for your videos Josh. I’ve learned so much from you. May God keep blessing you. Merry Christmas from Mexico. 🇲🇽
To be fair, the only way to eat a Cinnabon is IMMEDIATELY after they've taken dem buns out of the oven. They leave them sitting on a heating pad until somebody orders them, so they often get stale and dry like that. And even if they're not on the heater but in the box, then they still might be sitting in there longer than you know, so typically, yeah, gonna be dry. That said, yours are probably still better and I am def gonna make them.
That’s exactly it! We would have to make copious amounts of rolls to pack in the boxes for the next day to sell as “fresh” and at the end of the night (at least at my store) we would pack them up to sell the next day or store in a bin to make center of the rolls the next day.
I just made these yesterday! I wrote out the instructions from the video. I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean and wrote it to reflect that. I don't mention weight for the most part because I always weigh and separate my ingredients beforehand. Hope this helps. The dough. To a stand mixer bowl add flower, sugar and salt. Whisk until combined. Once combined add 84g of softened butter. Incorporate with two forks. In a cup add 235g of milk warmed to 100f and add yeast. Stir until dissolved. Mix flour on medium low speed in stand mixer using the dough hook. Add yeast and milk mixture and eggs. Mix for 3 min or until dough is smooth. Plop dough into lightly flowered surface and kneed for 30 seconds to a minute. Roll into a ball and place into lightly greased bowl and cover with damp towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. The filing. Add brown sugar and cinnamon. Whisk until Incorporated. Back to the dough. Lightly flour a surface and place your degassed dough onto it. Flatten dough and roll out a rectangle a little over 1/4 inch thick. Spread 84g of softened butter onto dough. Take cinnamon/sugar and spread onto the dough evenly across the surface. Tightly roll up from the long side until you have a thick log. Then using a serrated blade cut 2 inch size slices. ( 12 rolls ) Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and line pan with rolls into even rows of 3. Face tails towards each other and cover with plastic wrap for 30-45 min or until 1 1/2 times original size. Remove wrap and place into oven at 375f for 15-20 min or until golden brown. Cool for 15 min. Glaze Whip cream cheese on high speed until smooth. Blend in powdered sugar until smooth then mix in 45ml of whole milk. Once smoothed add half a vanilla bean ( 1 tsp vanilla extract if no bean ) scraped of it's seeds and whisk in. Back to the dough. Take rolls while still a little warm and drizzle all of the glaze onto it.
So, I've been craving this for a while and finally broke down and made them. Definitely love the dough on these bad boys. I rolled them out a bit thin and threw in some diced apples and raisins in the filling. Thankfully though they turned out awesome. Definitely keeping this recipe handy. Also it shouldnt surprise me but this was VERY much like cinnabon. Just much much softer and airier. Much more enjoyable actually.
@@auntiebubbles8897 mine were not. But I did accidentally roll them out a bit thin. They stayed in until nice and golden and they were very tasty. Mine were gooey from the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture mixing with the applejuice that got extracted during baking, but the dough was properly cooked through.
My husband said..."THESE ARE AMAZINGLY GOOD"!! Best recipe ever. I can't believe how big they got. I was tempted to stop the mixing process but didn't. I let the mixer go till the dough pulled away from the sides and botton of the bowl. The dough was beautiful!!! I'm so proud of myself for making'em. They are delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Okay I’m gonna be honest.. I’m HORRIBLE at cinnamon rolls. Like I truly believe I’m cursed, I haven’t made an edible one in YEARS; even after following the recipes meticulously 🥺It’s to the point where my family hears me say that I’m making another attempt and they make plans to leave the house😭 But this recipe? Has broken. the. curse. Deadass. These rolls are so good they asked me to make them AGAIN! I can die peacefully now that I’ve reached cinnamon roll nirvana 😌
These were the best cinnamon buns I’ve ever had. This recipe was prefect! (btw for anyone w/ diet restrictions or vegan, we used egg replacer, vanilla almond milk in place of whole milk, and vegan cream cheese, and everyone who tried was shocked it was vegan, swearing it was a true Cinnabon roll!)
i love the but better series so much. I live in a rural area in australia and our closest fast food is an hour away. We don't have any big chain super markets in town either. Just a little store. This series makes it so that we don't miss out if we're craving the junk food! Not to mention it tastes soo much better than the takeaway places.
I can truly say, after baking these exactly as instructed today, these are amazing. Ok, so I doubled the amount of frosting but it was otherwise verbatim. Great work chum!
Pro Tip: Pour a half cup of heavy cream over the risen rolls before baking them. This gives your rolls that nice gooey bottom. I love making them and my family always begs me to make them for family events. Better than Cinnabon 100%
I love this guy. I'll honestly be way too sad if he ever leaves. His vibe. His humor. His encouragement. Has inspired me to do a lot of things I would've never thought I could lol.
I've spent the last 3 days making josh's croissants(some stuffed with ham, Swiss, and jalapeno) and boy did they turn out delicious. Definitely looking forward to making these bad boys.
I just made them because of midnight cravings AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, JOSH'S RECIPE IS PERFECT. Just the right sweetness, very soft bread, the icing is not overpowering (well depending on the cream cheese you used) and it's JUST SO PERFECT IM SO HAPPY! Note: I actually kneaded the dough by hand for about 5 to 7 minutes. It was a bit sticky so i sifted a only bit of flour on my work surface (try to not put too much so it will remain hydrated (tacky but not sticky) for a soft bread)
So far everything I’ve made from this channel has been a hit. I made the seafood boil (obviously don’t have the means to buy fresh seafood)we only did shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage but good lord. It was perfectly spiced. I’m originally from California but now living in the south and our southern friends gave us approval ❤️ I made the chicken katsu last night. Oh my gosh so easy and so good! Super cheap to make too! I had everything in my house already. Made the Canes chicken tenders. Husband is a huge fan and he asks for them constantly! Making these cinnamon rolls today!! I’m writing this currently as the dough is resting! So far the dough is perfect!! Wish me luck! EDIT: make these, yes. Seriously the best thing I’ve ever made. Please make the cream cheese frosting too. It’s now a family favorite. It’s so easy to make too!!
people: JOSH BUT WHAT IF I DONT HAVE A STABD MIXER :( Josh: It’s totally fine you can do it by hand but it’s gonna be a LITTLE bit harder Me: *mixing the dough non stop for 2 hours* A LITTLE HARDER HUH!?
Wish I could post a photo here! I just made your recipe, but reduced to the 85% the ingredients, I had 10 rolls and they are perfect. They smell delicious and I'm about to add the glaze
I’d like to see you do a cost effective but better. Take how much each is sold for run it through the profit mark up to find how much they spend in ingredients and only use that much money to reproduce them.
I used to work at Cinnabon. Those Cinnabon’s you bought are meant to be reheated. However they are almost never fresh (at least my store) we were told to use left overs for those, and they are allowed 2-3 days and we could reheat them to make em look fresh. The ones on display are actually better
So..I just tried this recipe and...these are the best cinnamon buns I've ever, EVER tried!! They are not too sweet and so so so SOFT!!!!!! It's like you're eating little cinnamon clouds. HEAVENLY, JUST HEAVENLY!!
I made this today and it was AMAZING!! So good! I changed the icing a bit to be a bit more cream cheesy and closer to Cinnabon but this was hands down way better than any other cinnamon roll I’ve ever made or bought. 🎉
My mom was craving Cinnabon yesterday. She asked me to pick some up for her. I said “no lady”. I instead picked up muscovado sugar and yeast, then made this recipe for her last night. It was a hit! It was so fluffy and sweet and heavenly. I made it without using a stand mixer. I’ll be making this recipe every time we crave Cinnabon from now on. It’s sooo much better and sooo much cheaper than buying it! Thank you Joshua!!!
@@zaknafein254 no, it wasn’t. Just sticky at first but then the dough starts to come together. The kneading was the hard part cuz I had to put my back into it for a bit, but it’s not difficult. Just takes time and effort.
These taste fantastic! I used almond milk, added ginger to my filling and hand mixed and it did take longer with letting the dough rest for 10 min periods a couple of times to make mixing and handling easier, but was still easy enough! I over, over, overproofed since I refused to turn the oven on while the AC was getting repaired...and yet and still the taste was damn amazing! UPDATE: 2nd Bake (not overproofed) and these are even more amazingly perfect. My back patting hasn't stopped! Thanks Josh!
A variation i recently made that went down well was to add cardamom (I've also done a fresh marsala chai mix)in the sugar mix and then pour-over coffee and vanilla glaze to make it more of a spiced coffee scroll, twas delectable 😙👌
I'm eating the first cinnamon roll out of the batch I just made with this recipe and I must say it's absolutely amazing, they're so light and fluffy! I've made cinnamon rolls once before but not overworking the dough is so important, I'm sad I didn't try your recipe the first time. Also a great success on the burger buns today (it's 3rd time I do them following Joshua's recipe ) I guess it was a happy baking Sunday ^^ Thank you Joshua for all the tips and tricks and recipes, you've really helped me up my baking game and not only
@@theoutsiderspost4982 It's true because when you follow a recipe that mixes the filling together, they use a lot more butter but if you spread the butter first, you only use a few tablespoons.
@@astrohabilllieve I like the method they use at Cinnabon. They spread soften butter first and then they sprinkle the filling on after. Everything that hears a lot better because once you mix butter with a sandy grainy sugar. That sugar is back on a stick to the door like the butter did
@@theoutsiderspost4982 I concur. I thought it would save time but ended up longer because spreading the paste was a pain in the ass. Nope. Follow Josh's technique, people!
I really don't understand your comment. This isn't a take out or leftovers channel....when you cook it's suppose to be made with fresh and recently. You don't cook with expired or rotten food do you?🤔
Just used this recipe yesterday and it came out wonderful! I was slightly worried when the dough was a little sticky (Mixed by hand) but after it had risen it looked fine! Thank you so much!👌
I tried this manually because I don't have electric stand mixer it's super hard to knead it's so sticky. I thought I'm gonna fail but it need patience to make a dough not sticky and it ended up great and yummy. Thanks Josh!
Late comment here but yeah, I just did this recipe to the T in a mixer and the dough was sticky as hell. I rolled it up as best as I could and am letting it sit for a while as I type this. Hopefully it's not ruined.
Whenever I make one of Josh's yeasted recipes, the proofing times are at least half of what they should be. Dude must keep his apartment at 95 degrees.
Please, can someone explain this statement to me? If the temperature is higher, then proofing will be shorter, right? So, when you are saying your proofing times are half of what they should be, you are saying, that your's are still shorter, which is contradiction. Hello?
Tried 2 other recipes, and this is by far my favorite. Love the subtle notes of the muscovado sugar. I used bread flour instead and skipped on the milk for the glaze. Just perfect...
Just made this and is GENUINELY amazing!!!! Had to use a bit more flour though because the dough was /too/ soft but other than that is perfect! I didn’t use milk on the frosting because I wanted it thicker
Honestly the fact that those are everyone's favorite baffles me. The cinnamon filling is always so slimey you can't even enjoy the center! Which is my favorite part. The outsides are always hard even when you microwave it or put it in the oven. I much prefer the extra work for homemade! Thanks for the recipe.
I’ve never found a boughten cinnamon roll that was worth the money. Cinnabon uses margarine and I don’t know how anyone can get past the weird flavor that fake butter gives.
Omg I made these and they are the best thing I have ever made. It was my first time using yeast and it turned out perfectly. My family could not stop raving about it!! Thank you so much Joshua!
Made these yesterday and they were so good! Its my first time making cinnamon rolls and they came out super soft with a gooey middle 🤤. Thank you very much for this recipe!
I made these for the first time four days ago. huge success. After i rolled everything up i place the roll into the freezer for twenty minutes. Once my "log" was nicely firmed, i had an easy time cutting it into the two inch sections. I placed them onto the cookie sheet, covered them and set them in the over at proof setting. I was amazed at how they doubled in size as i had given the all a generous spacing but they were all of a sudden looking crowded. When finished baking in the oven they were pure perfection once coated with glaze.
ya gotta eat those ciniminiminabon bois right when you buy them, you have exactly a 57 second window to get the true experience otherwise its just not a fair comparison.
I’m an amateur baker (as in I started baking a few months ago) and just made these and they turned out wonderfully! My family loved them. Thanks so much for this simple and delicious recipe! The only major adjustment I made was the flour quantity. Maybe it’s bc it’s ridiculously humid where I live, but I needed half a cup more flour bc the dough was way too wet even after mixing (dough hook on handheld mixer) and kneading by hand. And when the dough rose, it stuck to the top of the towel so I had to flour my tabletop very generously so it wouldn’t stick to it when rolled out. But it still turned out amazing!
@@llow1170 So I’ve made these multiple times now, including in the winter, and yeah, the only way I can get them to work is with a lot more flour. They still end up delicious, though. I’ve tried other recipes and this is still one of my favorites even if it requires a bit more work. Maybe it would be different if I had a standing mixer, idk. I mix as much of it as I can using a hand mixer (I use dough hook attachments) and then do everything else by hand.
Former Cinnabon employee here! (But this was also a decade ago, so who knows what’s changed since then.) There aren’t actually that many differences in what you did vs what was done in store. I don’t think there are truly *that* many ways to roll up a cinnamon bun and still call it a cinnamon bun. The biggest difference I think would be margarine vs butter, and adding vanilla to the icing (pretty sure the store icing was literally just cream cheese and sugar).
The tip I’d give for avoiding old, hard buns? Just call ahead and ask for a fresh box at a certain time instead of dropping in and picking up a box.
See, we really did bake multiple batches through the day, but the freshest ones would be for people buying a single serving first. Once they’ve been behind the front counter long enough, *then* they get transferred to a box after they’ve had enough time to cool (and more icing added to hide that the buns were likely from different batches, since some would have been sold as single servings earlier.) The fact that they’re in a box at all means they’ve probably been out for a few hours, and then left in the box for who knows how long. And though no box should ever be older than a day, the product in a box could be from a few hours ago, or it could be from first thing in the morning several hours ago. It just depends on what has sold that day.
Here is where I would challenge you do re-do this using a fresh bun from Cinnabon...but a) just because I worked there doesn’t mean I’m especially invested in protecting the honour of the Cinnamony Giant, and b) ...butter and vanilla alone, dude. (I’m sure those aren’t the only differences, but do we really need to keep tally past that point?) You’d totally still make a better end product, it’s just that it might not be such a landslide victory.
get this to top comment !!
I gotta add this because it’s the internet, when I say “call ahead” I really mean it. If you want an entire fresh box for yourself, call ahead and ask for a fresh box at a particular time and pick it up then. What I definitely do NOT mean is showing up unannounced and demanding a fresh batch on the spot, harassing employees, or throwing a tantrum and messing up everyone’s flow because you saw someone take a batch out of the oven and are now demanding they sell you something they literally aren’t supposed to yet.
If you really, really want that fresh, fresh dozen in a box instead of in the store, just ask nicely ahead of time, please.
bet he won't do it
Welp that's enough cinnabon cinnamon rolls for me
Your comment makes so much sense! I have always bought a single bun, so I was looking at Josh's box crazy bc all of the ones I bought in person were superior.
hello. i have made a very terrible mistake which was making this recipe. I LITERALLY get requests from my family EVERY WEEK TO MAKE THESE. They hold me against my will and I've already made them 6 times this year (WE'RE ONLY IN FEBRUARY!!!!!) because of it. bake at your own risk, or just dont tell anyone and eat them all by yourself
OMG SAME IM THE OLDEST AND MY FAM LEGIT SCREAMS AT ME TO MAKE THEM
thats so cute omg
Lol
Hey! Do you know for how long to kneed the dough? If a don’t have a standmixer. I’d apreciatte it if you could let me know
@@citlalysilva8285 until its nice and smooth not sticky
Fun fact: when Cinnabon was bought out by a large corporation, the stores started using frozen dough to save money, which is why they are crap. But the original owner kept a few stores in the northwest for himself, and they still make their dough fresh everyday. So you have to come to Washington to get a good roll that can handle the competition. 🙂
The mall I go to that has Cinnabon in CA has the rolls rolled in front of you and everything. It’s delicious and heavenly . Especially the fact that it’s the perfect temperature and the gooey parcooked sugary goodness at the center 🤤🤤
Im from the uk so i have never even heard of cinnabon
Same here in the philippines, every cinnabon I see has a little glass area where you can see employees rolling the dough in front of you. Absolutely decadent, a shame it's so rare.
my local mall is the one that the first ever Cinnabon was located at. It's super fun but the mall is dying these days

I made these cinnamon rolls February 2021 for my husband to take with him to work. He excitedly took a bite and then extreme confusion followed on his face.
"What's wrong? Is it bad?"
"No.." he said slowly, taking another bite to chew thoughtful, "I'm not sure what it is about this recipe, but it tastes like nothing."
"What..."
I also took a bite, "Oh that's strange, you're right though."
And then it dawned on us at the same time. Anyways, your cinnamon rolls are how we found out we had Covid.
Trying to make them again 2.5 years later, hopefully we can taste them this time.
did you taste them. were they tasty?

Oh my god, this was the first time I’ve ever made homemade cinnamon rolls. THEY WERE SO GOOD!!!!!!! The cinnamon roll was soft and buttery and just amazing and the cream cheese frosting was honestly heavenly.
Delicious!
A tip I’ve always done that I think makes the most “Cinnabon” like rolls is pouring 1/2 cup of warm cream over the rolls right before you put them in the oven. It’s that extra gooey deliciousness that just makes the cinnamon buns! *edited from 1 cup to a 1/2c! I’ve been eyeballing it so long that I don’t measure- but just checked back at my notes!
Yes, idk about a full cup, but a little bit makes them so much better
Jake Green I’ll have to check back at my notes for the original amount because I’ve done it so much I just eye ball it now! But regardless I feel like you at least need some!
@@shaylanicole353 That sounds incredibly good, I'm totally going to try that
Oh yeah I do it too, I eyeball it, a full cup just sounds like quite a lot, I totally agree it's what makes the cinnamon rolls!
What kind of cream?
Just made this for me and my family, so here are a few extra tips.
1 like Josh said don't be afraid to do it by hand if you don't have a dough hook. i don't have one and it turned out great, but it did take a lot longer and took a little bit of extra flour added later for it to really come together.
2 any time he calls for whole milk in this you can use other milks. My parents and I recently switched to almond milk instead of normal milk and I used that instead and it worked just as well.
3 make sure to roll them up nice and tight. I rolled mine a little loose and some of them ended up rising straight up like mountains, but they still rose the same way.
4 if you don't have the luxury of having vanilla beans use vanilla extract! it tastes great in the icing and is a lot easier to get your hands on. use 1.5 teaspoons of extract if this is the case.
finally, have fun while you're doing it! working with dough can be aggravating sometimes, but in the end it is so worth it. these are easily the best cinnamon buns I have ever had, and I will likely make them again!
i just tried making it by hand but as soon as i put my dough on the counter to try and mix it by hand it stuck EVERYWHERE and i had to throw away the dough, i dont understand why this happened i used exactly the measurements he gave. any suggestions bud ?
@@yannz8617 it is a very sticky dough. when I made it, it stuck to my table a lot, but that's ok. just keep on kneading and flour up your hands. if it's sticky to the point where you can't knead it, then add a little bit of flour and keep going. it takes a little while (took me at least 10-15 minutes) but it's worth it
Ganon B oh that sucks. I almost thought the same thing but I just kept working at it. I didn’t add flour but I really should have. It worked out in the end and they are amazing!
Trish Fish you don’t wanna add too much. Just while you’re mixing it and it’s still really sticky just grab a pinch, mix it some more, add more dough, etc until it’s not ridiculously sticky
Afraid I did mine wrong. Although I used all the correct measurements, my dough wasn’t super sticky out of the bowl after incorporating all the ingredients by hand. It was rather kind of dry until i kneaded it. But still didn’t end up super sticky as it shows in the video. I was afraid to add more flour because it would make it more dry? I’m letting it sit and rise right now. Hopefully it’ll become sticky itself together somehow in the process lol
I made them 11pm and stayed up at 2:30am. I left them in the oven for 15 minutes but it wasn't ready so I just thought (I'm gonna wait 5 more minutes) 5 hours later I wake up and took them out. Perfect black rolls, as hard as charcoal. Warning! do not bake Cinnamon rolls in the late evening.🤣 Time to start over.
Quick update: I made them perfect! They taste like cinnamon rolls from IKEA. I did not make frosting.
Hahahahaha oh no 😂😂😂. Happy you were finally able to make them though lol
That’s hilarious 😂 glad everything worked out at the end. Also glad you did not burn your house down😅
@Beautiful Disaster it is amazing!! i am making them now for the second time.. and then when i wanted to add the eggs i only found one :) haha running to the store now
Oh my gosh! My heart goes out to you
4-5 years ago my mom and I started a tradition of making cinnamon rolls on Christmas Eve and baking them early Christmas morning, so they could be enjoyed after presents and breakfast. I don’t remember which recipe we tried the first year, but they were good, the second year we tried a different recipe and it did not turn out well. 2-3 years ago I tried this recipe and it was amazing! I’ve been making it ever since; the cinnamon buns are soft and super decadent. Pro tip: instead of having the butter and cinnamon sugar separate, combine them together, make sure the mix is soft, and spread. This makes it so you get an even cinnamony experience, and it’s turned out great for me. Thanks Josh for this recipe! It’s amazing!
Exactly what i did !!! turned out wonderful

Did you measure your flour by weight, or volume? I want to make them, but I’m confused, because 580 grams of flour is not 4 cups, unless he’s accounting for the usual over weight that happens when using volume, vs weight? I’m so confused

@@tatertots9794 Facts
Ive made a lot of cinnamon roll recipes and your recipe is by far the best. The recipes online are always too cakey or the middle isnt gooey enough or way too sweet. Yours has the perfect texture as well as the perfect balance of sweetness and butteriness and, just everything. Nothing is overpowering. All of it works together. Thank you for another amazing recipe. So glad i discovered your channel. In 1 week, I've made 4 of your recipes and each one is amazing
My man D.A.M.N! ive tried a lot of so called cinnabon "copycat" recipes. However...yours is the king of them all.
For those that will try it take note:
1. for some reason my dough took very long to double in size, approximately 2.5 hours (im being generous) i thoughti jad messed up the dough. Even after rolling and filling it did not rise that much. At that i was like ive come this far might as well bake it. The results were so close to the original i thought i was dreaming. So if for some reason your dough takes longer than mentioned in the video dont lose hope!
2. The filling seems to be too much but i still used all of it, some spilledout and i thout it was going to create a burnt caramel crust however the opposite happened...it createda beaitiful gooey centre once the icing was poured on and i reheated them the next morning...it was heaven. So dont reduce the sugar fr filling its perfect.
3. For the filling i also added 3tbspn of cocoa powder and it ensured that the spirals have that nice darkness without being chocolatey...thats how they look like in south africa anyway. I feared cinnamon and sugar only might not do the trick!
JW you have an overnight success man i love your content keep it coming, my wife and i love your work!!!!!!!
I believe raising time really depends on the room temperature, make sure it’s in warm place, sometimes i would heat the oven for 10 mins then turn it off and place my dough in it
Next time proof your yeast before adding, it could be you had lazy yeast. Swap it out for that young energetic yeast. 😁
Yay South Africa, what type of flour did you use? Also we don't have "all purpose" flour in SA we have either bread or cake flour so for the dough to rise better the bread flour is better it won't taste like bread. Or you can do half and half if you want
@@nicolegliddon1383 use wheat flour, works well.
@@Isaiah--vj2xu yes both our cake and bread flour is wheat in SA but they don't rise the same if you want cinnamon rolls
Success! Made these and my daughter said after 1 bite, "mom. These are heavenly. They are like...the ones from the mall... but, better?"
Hey there mate is it ok if i leave my dough to rise 24hrs???
@@tatianachock6758 yeah you can, but put it in the fridge after an hour or two. If you keep them out in room temperature it gets a sourbread type flavor. (You have to leave it out of the fridge for an hour or 2 so it actually rises)

@@tatianachock6758 yeah np I even do it myself the more it takes To rest the fluffier it will get but not for toooooo long
I worked at Cinnabon for 4 years while in high school. I have two tips that will make baking cinnamon rolls easier: 1. when spreading the butter and cinnamon all over the dough, leave a 1 inch strip of dough bare (either at the top or bottom of your rectangle, depending on which way you roll the log - I roll from the top towards me, so I leave the 1-inch strip at the bottom closest to me). This will allow your log to stick to itself and seal; 2. use a bread knife to cut the cinnamon rolls right when the come out of the oven, and also frost them liberally right when they come out of the oven, that way the icing will melt into the crevices. You can always add more icing later.
"use a bread knife to cut the cinnamon rolls right when the come out of the oven" - So you bake it as a whole log and don't cut into rolls until after baking???
@@hismusicnme No. Sorry, I should have been more clear. Do exactly what he does in the video (cut the log before baking). During the bake, the rolls fuse and stick to each other making it difficult to take just one of them out of the dish to serve it. My tip is to take a bread knife and cute where the buns are touching each other (before frosting) so that you can scoop just one roll out of the tray without ripping its neighbouring bun.
Hi. I want to ask whether it is possible to make the same dough at home as in Cinnabon, or there is still some special dough recipe, maybe with different improvers, which is impossible to do at home.
@@indraaaaaaaaaa One of the ingredients in the Cinnabon dough recipe is a dry « base mix ». Employees don’t know what’s in it, but you can certainly make something similar at home. I’ve made the recipe from AllRecipies and it worked well: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20156/clone-of-a-cinnabon/. It’s more technique than anything else. Rolling and proofing properly are important.
I’ve got to say that this recipe is absolutely delicious!
It’s Christmas Eve and my wife and I baked this cinnamon rolls. The family loved them.
Thanks a lot for your videos Josh. I’ve learned so much from you. May God keep blessing you.
Merry Christmas from Mexico. 🇲🇽
"here's your cinnamon sugar filling. use ALL OF IT."
"Here's your vanilla bean cream cheese drizz, USE. ALL. OF. IT."
Yesss!
or not, it's your choice
@heroinhero69 feel free to add more if necessary
To be fair, the only way to eat a Cinnabon is IMMEDIATELY after they've taken dem buns out of the oven. They leave them sitting on a heating pad until somebody orders them, so they often get stale and dry like that. And even if they're not on the heater but in the box, then they still might be sitting in there longer than you know, so typically, yeah, gonna be dry.
That said, yours are probably still better and I am def gonna make them.
That’s exactly it! We would have to make copious amounts of rolls to pack in the boxes for the next day to sell as “fresh” and at the end of the night (at least at my store) we would pack them up to sell the next day or store in a bin to make center of the rolls the next day.
True fact there my dude
I just made these yesterday!
I wrote out the instructions from the video. I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean and wrote it to reflect that. I don't mention weight for the most part because I always weigh and separate my ingredients beforehand. Hope this helps.
The dough.
To a stand mixer bowl add flower, sugar and salt. Whisk until combined.
Once combined add 84g of softened butter. Incorporate with two forks.
In a cup add 235g of milk warmed to 100f and add yeast. Stir until dissolved.
Mix flour on medium low speed in stand mixer using the dough hook. Add yeast and milk mixture and eggs. Mix for 3 min or until dough is smooth.
Plop dough into lightly flowered surface and kneed for 30 seconds to a minute.
Roll into a ball and place into lightly greased bowl and cover with damp towel or plastic wrap.
Let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled.
The filing.
Add brown sugar and cinnamon. Whisk until Incorporated.
Back to the dough.
Lightly flour a surface and place your degassed dough onto it. Flatten dough and roll out a rectangle a little over 1/4 inch thick. Spread 84g of softened butter onto dough.
Take cinnamon/sugar and spread onto the dough evenly across the surface.
Tightly roll up from the long side until you have a thick log. Then using a serrated blade cut 2 inch size slices. ( 12 rolls )
Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and line pan with rolls into even rows of 3. Face tails towards each other and cover with plastic wrap for 30-45 min or until 1 1/2 times original size.
Remove wrap and place into oven at 375f for 15-20 min or until golden brown. Cool for 15 min.
Glaze
Whip cream cheese on high speed until smooth. Blend in powdered sugar until smooth then mix in 45ml of whole milk. Once smoothed add half a vanilla bean ( 1 tsp vanilla extract if no bean ) scraped of it's seeds and whisk in.
Back to the dough.
Take rolls while still a little warm and drizzle all of the glaze onto it.
Thanks

So, I've been craving this for a while and finally broke down and made them. Definitely love the dough on these bad boys. I rolled them out a bit thin and threw in some diced apples and raisins in the filling. Thankfully though they turned out awesome. Definitely keeping this recipe handy.
Also it shouldnt surprise me but this was VERY much like cinnabon. Just much much softer and airier. Much more enjoyable actually.
Where they doughy? Like slightly undercooked? That’s how mine turned out and am thinking it shouldn’t be 😢
@@auntiebubbles8897 mine were not. But I did accidentally roll them out a bit thin. They stayed in until nice and golden and they were very tasty. Mine were gooey from the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture mixing with the applejuice that got extracted during baking, but the dough was properly cooked through.
My husband said..."THESE ARE AMAZINGLY GOOD"!! Best recipe ever. I can't believe how big they got. I was tempted to stop the mixing process but didn't. I let the mixer go till the dough pulled away from the sides and botton of the bowl. The dough was beautiful!!! I'm so proud of myself for making'em. They are delicious!

These were the best cinnamon buns I’ve ever had. This recipe was prefect! (btw for anyone w/ diet restrictions or vegan, we used egg replacer, vanilla almond milk in place of whole milk, and vegan cream cheese, and everyone who tried was shocked it was vegan, swearing it was a true Cinnabon roll!)
Jonnah Brisco good for you!

Vic we used Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer! It’s not that expensive and is really great for baking!

This is so far the best recipe out there, thank you so much!! i've made them so many times and they always come out so soft and fluffy, i love them
are they still soft after cooling and the day after? thank you !
I just made them because of midnight cravings AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, JOSH'S RECIPE IS PERFECT. Just the right sweetness, very soft bread, the icing is not overpowering (well depending on the cream cheese you used) and it's JUST SO PERFECT IM SO HAPPY!
Note: I actually kneaded the dough by hand for about 5 to 7 minutes. It was a bit sticky so i sifted a only bit of flour on my work surface (try to not put too much so it will remain hydrated (tacky but not sticky) for a soft bread)
So far everything I’ve made from this channel has been a hit. I made the seafood boil (obviously don’t have the means to buy fresh seafood)we only did shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage but good lord. It was perfectly spiced. I’m originally from California but now living in the south and our southern friends gave us approval ❤️ I made the chicken katsu last night. Oh my gosh so easy and so good! Super cheap to make too! I had everything in my house already. Made the Canes chicken tenders. Husband is a huge fan and he asks for them constantly! Making these cinnamon rolls today!! I’m writing this currently as the dough is resting! So far the dough is perfect!! Wish me luck!
EDIT: make these, yes. Seriously the best thing I’ve ever made. Please make the cream cheese frosting too. It’s now a family favorite. It’s so easy to make too!!
nice!
It's not actually obvious that you don't have the means to buy fresh seafood. I mean it is now, but not before you said so
@@gregorsamsa1364😂
people: JOSH BUT WHAT IF I DONT HAVE A STABD MIXER :(
Josh: It’s totally fine you can do it by hand but it’s gonna be a LITTLE bit harder
Me: *mixing the dough non stop for 2 hours* A LITTLE HARDER HUH!?
he said 2 to 3 minutes lol
ụeu jrirj it’s a joke.
Mike Turdo EXACTLY
literally me
Lol!
Wish I could post a photo here! I just made your recipe, but reduced to the 85% the ingredients, I had 10 rolls and they are perfect. They smell delicious and I'm about to add the glaze
I’d like to see you do a cost effective but better. Take how much each is sold for run it through the profit mark up to find how much they spend in ingredients and only use that much money to reproduce them.
Waterlow most of the time hes not even buying his ingredients for these. He just has them in his kitchen
Silver Klapz so... groceries just magically appear in his house?
Chill out with the capitalism please
This is actually a pretty good idea
@@user-ub8oi7oh3r why?
Bruh, I mean the homemade was bound to win but you could've at least microwaved the Cinnabon to make it a fair fight XD they're terrible at room temp.
Agree.
Well he cooled down his rolls till room temp.
@@Alex-iu7dl no he didnt you can see the wisps of smoke coming off I
Of his
yeah i think he should buy the other food after making his because it’ll be cold
He did warm it. Says so at 7:52
I used to work at Cinnabon. Those Cinnabon’s you bought are meant to be reheated. However they are almost never fresh (at least my store) we were told to use left overs for those, and they are allowed 2-3 days and we could reheat them to make em look fresh. The ones on display are actually better
Is this recipe close to Cinnabons? What did you guys use?
I made them yesterday and everybody who tried lost their minds. Ultimate recipe 🤩 thank you so much
So..I just tried this recipe and...these are the best cinnamon buns I've ever, EVER tried!! They are not too sweet and so so so SOFT!!!!!! It's like you're eating little cinnamon clouds. HEAVENLY, JUST HEAVENLY!!
Eat a salad
@@Scheboygan8767wtf 🤣

I know looks aren’t anything but Cinnabon’s bun looks cuter... especially in your thumbnail 🤷🏼♀️
Right!? He should’ve made his rolls bigger to compete lol.
it was the fact that it probably didnt bake into another roll and have to be separated lol
I made this today and it was AMAZING!! So good! I changed the icing a bit to be a bit more cream cheesy and closer to Cinnabon but this was hands down way better than any other cinnamon roll I’ve ever made or bought. 🎉
My mom was craving Cinnabon yesterday. She asked me to pick some up for her. I said “no lady”. I instead picked up muscovado sugar and yeast, then made this recipe for her last night. It was a hit! It was so fluffy and sweet and heavenly. I made it without using a stand mixer. I’ll be making this recipe every time we crave Cinnabon from now on. It’s sooo much better and sooo much cheaper than buying it! Thank you Joshua!!!
How long did it take approximately? Couple of hours I'm guessing?
@@zaknafein254 It took me about three - four hours, gathering and prepping the ingredients, kneading by hand, letting it proof twice and then baking.
@@rosypink1206 Nice! I'll have to make this for my parents and sisters. Was it particularly difficult without a stand mixer?
@@zaknafein254 no, it wasn’t. Just sticky at first but then the dough starts to come together. The kneading was the hard part cuz I had to put my back into it for a bit, but it’s not difficult. Just takes time and effort.

Wow. I think this might be the first time I liked a comment.

yeah we all use twitter thanks for reminding.
I feel like this was on facebook and some 40 year old women would like and comment about how funny it is
These taste fantastic! I used almond milk, added ginger to my filling and hand mixed and it did take longer with letting the dough rest for 10 min periods a couple of times to make mixing and handling easier, but was still easy enough! I over, over, overproofed since I refused to turn the oven on while the AC was getting repaired...and yet and still the taste was damn amazing!
UPDATE: 2nd Bake (not overproofed) and these are even more amazingly perfect. My back patting hasn't stopped! Thanks Josh!
the disappointment when you dont say b-roll at the right time...
He did say it. It is rather soft. Its at the point of the beat of the music.

A variation i recently made that went down well was to add cardamom (I've also done a fresh marsala chai mix)in the sugar mix and then pour-over coffee and vanilla glaze to make it more of a spiced coffee scroll, twas delectable 😙👌
This sounds amazing!
I just made these today and all I can say is WOW!!!!! These are crazy delicious!
I'm eating the first cinnamon roll out of the batch I just made with this recipe and I must say it's absolutely amazing, they're so light and fluffy! I've made cinnamon rolls once before but not overworking the dough is so important, I'm sad I didn't try your recipe the first time. Also a great success on the burger buns today (it's 3rd time I do them following Joshua's recipe ) I guess it was a happy baking Sunday ^^
Thank you Joshua for all the tips and tricks and recipes, you've really helped me up my baking game and not only
Life hack: combine butter and cinnamon sugar in a bowl THEN spread it on the dough for a more paste like and better tasting filling
That is how it is always done in Scandinavian bakes - we call it “remonce.”
I’ve done that method before and it really does not spread as well. You almost make a paste that doesn’t adhere to the dough good.
@@theoutsiderspost4982 It's true because when you follow a recipe that mixes the filling together, they use a lot more butter but if you spread the butter first, you only use a few tablespoons.
@@astrohabilllieve
I like the method they use at Cinnabon. They spread soften butter first and then they sprinkle the filling on after. Everything that hears a lot better because once you mix butter with a sandy grainy sugar. That sugar is back on a stick to the door like the butter did
@@theoutsiderspost4982 I concur. I thought it would save time but ended up longer because spreading the paste was a pain in the ass. Nope. Follow Josh's technique, people!
Unpopular opinion: this show might as well be called “but with fresh ingredients and made recently”
trueee
Agree so it's kinda unfair do the comparison when the one of the items was made 2-3 hours ago
And "with a better recipe and more knowledge of food"
I really don't understand your comment. This isn't a take out or leftovers channel....when you cook it's suppose to be made with fresh and recently. You don't cook with expired or rotten food do you?🤔
That sounds like 'but better' to me
Just used this recipe yesterday and it came out wonderful! I was slightly worried when the dough was a little sticky (Mixed by hand) but after it had risen it looked fine! Thank you so much!👌
I tried this manually because I don't have electric stand mixer it's super hard to knead it's so sticky. I thought I'm gonna fail but it need patience to make a dough not sticky and it ended up great and yummy. Thanks Josh!
I don’t have a mixer either and about to try these. Any suggestions to help with the dough?
@@amysmith728 you can start the kneading with a wide silicon spatula until it's not so sticky. Don't overwork it though.
Late comment here but yeah, I just did this recipe to the T in a mixer and the dough was sticky as hell. I rolled it up as best as I could and am letting it sit for a while as I type this. Hopefully it's not ruined.
How do I know if I overwork it? I've been kneading it for hours and hours because it was extremely sticky
Whenever I make one of Josh's yeasted recipes, the proofing times are at least half of what they should be. Dude must keep his apartment at 95 degrees.
Lol thanks for letting us know
Well he does live in Texas
Yeah, he lives in a hot place and his yeast is always as fresh as it can be because he probably buys it twice a week.
Please, can someone explain this statement to me? If the temperature is higher, then proofing will be shorter, right? So, when you are saying your proofing times are half of what they should be, you are saying, that your's are still shorter, which is contradiction. Hello?
That's why the "or until x size" is part of it to account for temperature differences
I made these last weekend and fed them to some of my friends and I've basically been asked to open a bakery 😂 These are great, thank you so much!
Tried 2 other recipes, and this is by far my favorite. Love the subtle notes of the muscovado sugar. I used bread flour instead and skipped on the milk for the glaze. Just perfect...
Just made this and is GENUINELY amazing!!!! Had to use a bit more flour though because the dough was /too/ soft but other than that is perfect! I didn’t use milk on the frosting because I wanted it thicker
Honestly the fact that those are everyone's favorite baffles me. The cinnamon filling is always so slimey you can't even enjoy the center! Which is my favorite part. The outsides are always hard even when you microwave it or put it in the oven. I much prefer the extra work for homemade! Thanks for the recipe.
I’ve never found a boughten cinnamon roll that was worth the money. Cinnabon uses margarine and I don’t know how anyone can get past the weird flavor that fake butter gives.
Omg I made these and they are the best thing I have ever made. It was my first time using yeast and it turned out perfectly. My family could not stop raving about it!! Thank you so much Joshua!
Made these yesterday and they were so good! Its my first time making cinnamon rolls and they came out super soft with a gooey middle 🤤. Thank you very much for this recipe!

This made me happy. I can't eat Cinnabon anymore after I started making my own cinnamon rolls. A labor of love.
I made these for the first time four days ago. huge success. After i rolled everything up i place the roll into the freezer for twenty minutes. Once my "log" was nicely firmed, i had an easy time cutting it into the two inch sections. I placed them onto the cookie sheet, covered them and set them in the over at proof setting. I was amazed at how they doubled in size as i had given the all a generous spacing but they were all of a sudden looking crowded. When finished baking in the oven they were pure perfection once coated with glaze.

ya gotta eat those ciniminiminabon bois right when you buy them, you have exactly a 57 second window to get the true experience otherwise its just not a fair comparison.
So, after a million hours baking these this arvo, I have to say...WORTH IT. They are phenomenal. Thank you so much Joshua. xx
I’m an amateur baker (as in I started baking a few months ago) and just made these and they turned out wonderfully! My family loved them. Thanks so much for this simple and delicious recipe!
The only major adjustment I made was the flour quantity. Maybe it’s bc it’s ridiculously humid where I live, but I needed half a cup more flour bc the dough was way too wet even after mixing (dough hook on handheld mixer) and kneading by hand. And when the dough rose, it stuck to the top of the towel so I had to flour my tabletop very generously so it wouldn’t stick to it when rolled out. But it still turned out amazing!
Late comment but saying same here. The dough was practically refusing to mix in the bowl. It is a warm day so maybe that's the issue.
@@llow1170 So I’ve made these multiple times now, including in the winter, and yeah, the only way I can get them to work is with a lot more flour. They still end up delicious, though. I’ve tried other recipes and this is still one of my favorites even if it requires a bit more work.
Maybe it would be different if I had a standing mixer, idk. I mix as much of it as I can using a hand mixer (I use dough hook attachments) and then do everything else by hand.
i love the change of the bass drop on the "B" for b-roll now
