Perfectly Pillowy Cinnamon Rolls

Our softest cinnamon rolls ever

Yeah, we know there are still a few days left in 2020, but we just couldn’t hold back this floodgate of yumminess any longer. The crown for King Arthur’s 2021 Recipe of the Year goes to this cinnamon-sugar swirl wrapped in a perfectly pillowy package.

The secrets behind the softness

It all starts with bread flour

High-protein bread flour can be used to make more than just crusty bread. In this recipe, it adds strength to ensure high-rising buns and holds moisture for extra tenderness.

Tangzhong technique

Thanks to a special starter made from cooked flour and milk, these rolls stay soft even if you serve them a few days after baking.

Bathed in butter

These cinnamon rolls’ final secret? They get brushed with melted butter while still warm from the oven. The luscious frosting goes on top, locking in rich flavor and pillowy texture in every bite.

Tips from our Bakers

What’s your ideal icing? Our Recipe of the Year calls for your choice of milk (the classic), cream (richer), or buttermilk (tangier). If you want a double dose of both richness and tang, try the cream cheese frosting listed in the recipe tips.
