Gearing up for Another Giveaway with Cinnamon Rolls!

The giveaway this month will be all products that will help you in your kitchen and pantry. We have some goodies from Oxo, Wilton, and Shelf Reliance.

To give you a little preview of a few of the great prizes Wilton will be giving away, I made the world’s yummiest cinnamon rolls. Since I can’t actually share a cinnamon roll with you, sharing the recipe and process is the next best thing.

These are just a few of the great Wilton products up for grabs in the  giveaway next week – a silicone baking mat, rolling pin, dough scraper, and cookie sheet. I’ve made these cinnamon rolls a million times before, and these 4 products have made the whole process so much easier! I didn’t know I needed a new rolling pin until I used this one – it’s heavy and very large, so rolling out the dough was super fast. And it’s silicone so you can dust it with flour to keep the dough from sticking and it works beautifully. Love it.

Top Secret Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Tutorial

After mixing the dough and letting it rise, roll the dough out on a Wilton silicone baking mat (or a well floured surface) with your new Wilton rolling pin. Roll the dough until it’s a large rectangle, 1/4″ thick.

The next thing to do is spread the filling over the dough. The recipe actually instructs you to spread the butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar over that, but I like to mix all three ingredients up and then spread that mixture over the dough. Spreading is a little tough, though not too bad with a spatula, and the end result is phenomenal. It’s much gooier and more delicious this way.

Roll the dough into a log from one of the long ends of the rectangle. The Wilton dough scraper also made this process much easier than it’s ever been for me. Roll it tight and pat it down to be a uniform shape.

Finally, cut your log into pieces 3/4″ thick and lay on your baking sheet.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, cover with cream cheese frosting, and enjoy!

Ta-Da!

Voila!
