Cinnamon rolls have been a popular sweet treat in North America since the 1800s, and are commonly enjoyed for breakfast or as a dessert. This recipe is inspired by the famous Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, which originated in the USA in the 1980s. These classic cinnamon rolls are made with a rich, sweet dough rolled up with cinnamon and brown sugar, then topped with creamy frosting. The smell of these baking in the oven is sure to fill your home with a warm and comforting aroma that will make your mouth water.

Instructions

8.Roll the dough up and cut into 12 equal pieces. Arrange them in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.
9.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
