Recipe Tips

Make sure your yeast is fresh and hasn't expired.
Don't overwork the dough or it will become tough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, add more cinnamon to the filling.
Be sure to let the rolls cool for a few minutes before drizzling with glaze or the glaze will melt and become too thin.
