Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls that are soft and fluffy, perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 package (15 oz) yellow cake mix
- 2 (0.25 oz) packages quick-rise yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups warm water (105–115°F / 40–45°C)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (as needed)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine 3 cups flour, cake mix, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Beat in warm water until thoroughly combined. Mix in remaining 1 cup flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, 6–8 minutes.
- Roll dough into a 9×18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough and sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll dough into a log, starting with a long edge, and pinch edges to seal.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet.
- Cut dough into 1-inch slices and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 15 minutes.
- Bake until cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through, 15–18 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
- For extra flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the dough mixture.
