Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ¾ cup Milk warm
- 1 tbsp Active Yeast dry
- ⅓ cup Sugar granulated
- 5 tbsp Butter softened, unsalted
- 1 Large Egg
Filling
- ¼ cup Packed Sugar brown, light
- 2 tbsp Coffee Powder instant
- 4 tbsp Butter melted, unsalted
Topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Whisk gently to dissolve.
- Cover the bowl and let the yeast bloom for 10-12 minutes, or until foamy. This activates the yeast and ensures a light and airy dough.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, remaining granulated sugar, softened butter, and egg.
- Add the bloomed yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough, either by hand or with a stand mixer, until it becomes smooth and elastic. This may take 15-20 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat it with oil. This prevents the dough from sticking to the bowl and drying out.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
- Spread the melted butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the instant coffee powder and brown sugar over the butter.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into equal-sized rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between them to allow for rising.
- Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnabons for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
- If desired, drizzle cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnabons before serving.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra coffee kick, brush the baked rolls with a coffee-infused glaze made by mixing powdered sugar with a strong espresso shot and a touch of vanilla extract.
- If you like a gooey center, bake the Cinnabons slightly closer together in the pan so they rise into each other, helping retain moisture and softness.
- To make ahead, prepare the rolls up to the second rise, then cover and refrigerate overnight; let them come to room temperature and complete the final rise before baking for fresh morning rolls.
- Try adding finely chopped chocolate or espresso-flavored chocolate chips to the cinnamon filling for a mocha-inspired variation.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality cinnamon for the best flavor. Freshly grated cinnamon sticks offer a more intense aroma than pre-ground cinnamon.
- Don't over-bake the rolls. They should be golden brown and cooked through, but still soft and slightly gooey in the center.
- For even baking, ensure your oven is properly preheated and rotate the pan halfway through baking.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Cinnabons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
