Cinnamon Rolls are a sweet, soft, and fragrant pastry that is loved by many, especially when served fresh out of the oven. Adding heavy cream to this recipe can elevate your cinnamon rolls to a whole new level, making them even more rich and moist. Let’s explore the step-by-step process of making the ultimate cinnamon rolls with heavy cream.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp dry yeast

  • ½ cup warm milk

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • A pinch of salt

  • Oil (for frying)

  • Sugar (for coating)


Steps:

  1. Activate Yeast (Top Left Image):
    In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

  2. Make Dough (Top Right Image):
    Add the egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  3. Shape the Dough (Bottom Left Image):
    Divide the dough into small pieces. Roll each piece into a rope shape and twist two ropes together to form a twisted donut shape.

  4. Let It Rise Again:
    Place the shaped donuts on parchment paper. Let them rest for another 20–30 minutes.

  5. Fry the Donuts (Bottom Right Image):
    Heat oil in a pan and fry the donuts over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

  6. Coat with Sugar:
    While still warm, roll the donuts in sugar to coat them evenly.
