Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll out the dough and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the cut pieces on a greased 9 x 13-inch pan, not touching each other.
- Let the rolls rise for 1 hour.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or nutmeg to the dough. If you don't have yellow cake mix, use a vanilla cake mix instead. Ensure your water is warm but not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast. Knead the dough well for a light and fluffy texture. For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon rolls are perfect for brunch or as a sweet treat with coffee. For a delightful pairing, serve them with Cream Fruit Dressing for a refreshing contrast. They also make a wonderful addition to holiday breakfasts or gatherings. Consider adding a drizzle of icing or serving with a side of fresh fruit for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, warm them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it overnight. Just allow it to come to room temperature and rise for about 30 minutes before rolling out and cutting. This can enhance the flavor and texture of your rolls.
What can I do if my rolls don't rise?
If your rolls don't rise, your yeast may be inactive. Ensure your water temperature is warm (around 110°F) and check the expiration date on your yeast. If possible, proof the yeast in warm water with a bit of sugar before mixing it into your dough.
Can I freeze the cinnamon rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze unbaked rolls after cutting them. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, let them rise for about an hour before baking as directed.
