These were THE MOST awesome cinnamon rolls I have ever made in my life! The dough was very easy to work with.... they raised beautifully.. and best of all, they taste JUST LIKE Cinnabon cinnamon rolls!!! I made 2 batches in 2 days~ (giving most away... LOL ...too tempting to have in the house) Definitely a MUST try!!!

Fantastic! A couple of things to note: the BROWN SUGAR & CINNAMON was noted in the ingredients section (although somewhat obvious as needed), I may have totally forgotten about the Brown Sugar if I used the items listed from the shopping list. The prep time was a little deceiving as it took me about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish to get it all done. The nice thing was that I was able to focus on the clean up and prep of other items while waiting for the dough to rise. Definitely make sure that you have at least a gallon of milk to have ready for you and others to wash down this wonderful item. Would recommend cutting the dough into 4 pieces before rolling it out. It should then come out to the 20 rolls and not take up the entire counter to cut. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!! :-)

So here is my cinnabon story...We love cinnabon, especially DH. I have made many many types over the years and it has always been hit or miss. Let me tell you I was scared to death after adding the flour and seeing how sticky the dough was. It took everything I had to hold back from adding more flour, but after reading the reviews I knew that it was going to be sticky, but not like this. So I let it rise about 2 hours...punched down and rise again about another two hours as I got distracted cleaning. I prepared myself for the stickiest mess I could imagine. I covered my counter with flour and just dumped the bowl over onto it. I grabbed another scoop of flour and put it on top. Let me tell you what a shock I had. This is the softest dough I have ever worked with. I didn't even need to get out the rolling pin. I followed the rest of the directions and made about 28 buns ranging in all different sizes. The result...WoW! MY TIPS:...use a pizza cutter to cut strips, then when picking up, scoop and form into a circle shape. Do the filling steps in two batches, it is very difficult to roll tightly with it so large. Next time I will use more brown sugar and cin., not quite enough for the amount of dough. Take off sheets right away! They will stick when them come out. I hope this is helpful! ENJOY!
