Crazy Dough Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

These cinnamon rolls use a proven 'crazy dough' that is rolled thin and filled with a cinnamon-sugar-butter mixture. The dough is rolled into a log and sliced into thick rounds before rising together in a pan to create soft, fluffy buns with a sweet, spiced filling. A cream cheese glaze adds a tart and creamy finish. The method allows for refrigeration after shaping, offering flexible baking timing.

Description

Crazy Dough Cinnamon Rolls start with a well-prepared yeast dough allowed to proof for soft elasticity. After proofing, the dough is rolled into a large rectangle and coated evenly with a mixture of melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Rolling the dough into a log and slicing into even thick pieces ensures a good balance of dough to cinnamon filling. The rolls are placed filling side up in a deep pan and allowed to rise until they puff and touch each other, producing tender, pull-apart texture after baking. Baking at a moderate temperature results in rolls with a deep golden color and fully cooked centers. The cream cheese glaze, made from softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla, adds a smooth, tangy finish when drizzled warm or cooled.

These cinnamon rolls can be refrigerated after shaping and before the final rise, enabling preparation ahead of time. They bake to a fluffy, sweet treat ideal for breakfast or dessert.
