Are you supposed to unroll cinnamon rolls?
They’re made by smearing the ventral side of pastry with a cinnamon/sugar/butter mix, which is then rolled, so you can enjoy the benefit of it without the mess of it. By unrolling, you are removing the prophylactic layer of un-cinnamoned pastry that is there to protect your hands and garments.
Why are my cinnamon rolls not fluffy?
The rolls won’t have a light and fluffy texture without enough air bubbles. There are a few more reasons your yeasted dough doesn’t seem to be rising, including yeast that’s too old or expired, a room temperature that’s not sufficiently warm, or the liquid you bloomed the yeast in being too hot.
Can you over knead cinnamon roll dough?
Over kneading will over develop the gluten in the flour making a tough structure that will pull the dough together once the steam is gone from the loaf. Knead only until the dough is smooth, shiny, and pliable.
What should the consistency of cinnamon roll dough be?
