EXPERT TIPS

Pour the glaze on the cinnamon rolls while they are warm : Trust me! You don’t want to sleep on this.

Use unscented dental floss to cut cinnamon rolls : Use this step if you don’t have a knife on hand.

Don’t forget to use a floured rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking : Otherwise the process will get pretty messy.
