Baking these cinnamon rolls is not only a fun process, but it also results in a delightful morning surprise that will leave everyone reaching for seconds.
The dough is straightforward to make, thanks to the addition of yogurt, which adds a subtle tanginess and aids in achieving a wonderfully tender texture.
Layered with the sweet-spicy mix of brown sugar and cinnamon, every bite of these rolls is a comforting delight.
These cinnamon rolls are perfect on their own, but a drizzle of the included glaze gives a sweet finish that beautifully complements the rich cinnamon flavor.
Serve them warm from the oven for an irresistibly cozy breakfast or brunch, or pair them with a cup of coffee for a satisfying afternoon treat.
Now, let’s get to the tips and tricks.
Don’t rush the kneading process; it helps to develop the gluten in the flour, giving your cinnamon rolls their classic chewy texture.
If the dough is sticky, adding more flour gradually will help you achieve the right consistency.
Rolling the dough tightly ensures perfect spirals and helps keep the filling in place.

Healthier Twist on a Classic

With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, these cinnamon rolls are perfect for bakers of all levels. The use of self-rising flour simplifies the process, eliminating the need for extra leavening agents.
Deliciously Fluffy

Perfect for Any Time of Day

Tips and Tricks
Baking Tips
To ensure your rolls bake evenly, space them slightly apart in the baking dish. This allows for even heat distribution and ensures that each roll is perfectly cooked.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. You can also use a different type of yogurt if you prefer, but it may alter the texture slightly.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. Reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm again.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon rolls are best served warm, straight from the oven. For an extra indulgent treat, serve them with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re serving them as a dessert.
Make Ahead
You can prepare the dough and fill it with the cinnamon-sugar mixture the night before. Roll it up, cut into slices, and place in the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them come to room temperature while preheating the oven, then bake as directed.
