  • For a richer flavor, use a higher fat milk, such as whole milk.
  • If you don’t have instant yeast, you can use regular yeast, but it will take longer for the dough to rise.
  • For a more decadent treat, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the filling.

Enjoy these delicious cinnamon rolls with a cup of coffee or tea!
