Nothing beats warm, soft cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven—sweet, gooey, and full of cinnamon flavor 😋

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the dough

- Knead until soft dough forms (about 5–8 minutes)
2. Let it rise
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled
3. Roll & fill
- Roll dough into a rectangle
- Spread butter
- Sprinkle cinnamon + brown sugar evenly
4. Shape rolls
- Roll tightly into a log
- Cut into 9–12 rolls
- Place in a greased baking dish
5. Second rise

6. Bake

🔥 Tips for Perfect Rolls
- Don’t overheat milk—it can kill the yeast
- Use soft butter for easy spreading
- Bake until just golden (overbaking = dry rolls)
😍 Variations
- Cream cheese frosting instead of glaze
- Add nuts or raisins
- Make overnight (refrigerate after shaping)
