What is the secret to Cinnabon? ›

Cinnabon's Secret Ingredient

But this isn't just any cinnamon. This special Indonesian cinnamon, called Makara, is trademarked by Cinnabon. And because of that trademark, you won't find this product in your local grocery store spice aisle.

Don't Overmix the Dough

When making cinnamon rolls, mix the dough just until the ingredients are incorporated and the dough is smooth and soft. Overmixed dough leads to tough cinnamon rolls. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl and feels tacky but doesn't stick to your fingers.

Once proofed, bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-30 minutes. When the cinnamon rolls are lightly golden brown, spot-check their internal temperature with a Thermapen to test their doneness. Their internal temperature should be 190–200°F (88–93°C).

Cinnabon Caramel Pecanbon

That honor is reserved for the Caramel Pecanbon. The Caramel Pecanbon contains a whopping 1,080 calories, 51 grams of fat and 146 grams of carbs, only 3 of which are fiber (15). What's more, 75 of those 146 grams of carbs come from added sugars.

But just because Cinnabon might be good for the Gap doesn't mean it's at all good for you. This dangerously bloated bun -- among these Fattiest Foods in America -- contains nearly an entire day's worth of fat and more than half of your daily allotment of calories.

You will pour the heavy cream on just before baking the rolls, it creates even softer rolls with an extra gooey filling. We did a side by side taste test with and without heavy cream and everyone chose the heavy cream version it just gives them that little something extra.

Tips for Kneading Cinnamon Rolls by Hand:

ONLY add as much flour as needed to handle the dough. It's better for the dough to be sticky at the start than to add too much flour and wind up with dense rolls, instead of light and fluffy ones.

It can definitely be tempting to just stick that butter in the microwave if you've been storing it in the fridge, which can easily lead to accidentally melting it, but ensuring that your butter is softened will make all the difference: It will make it easier to evenly spread the filling on top of the dough.

Can cinnamon rolls rise for too long? Yes definitely! If you let your cinnamon rolls rise for too long you can over-proof them. This can lead to dense rolls or rolls that collapse after baking.

How do you know when to stop kneading cinnamon roll dough? ›

If the dough can stretch out and get translucent (I like to hold it up to a window and see that light passes through it), you've kneaded it long enough and you can shape it and place it in a bowl to rise. If the dough rips and will not stretch out you'll need to knead your dough more.

Place the cinnamon rolls into your prepared pan, with little room between each roll and ½ inch from the edge of the pan. Lightly press down on each roll so that the edges of each roll barely touch each other, and improve their round form if needed.

After the rising time, check the cinnamon roll dough to see if it has nearly doubled in size. If you think it's ready, gently press two fingers into the surface of the dough. If the indentations remain in the dough, it has risen enough (if the indentations don't stay, let the dough continue to rise).

Cinnabon^® Classic Roll

Our world-famous cinnamon roll is made with a combination of warm dough, legendary Makara cinnamon, and signature cream cheese for a freshly baked, irresistible sweet treat.

If so: These are made of yeast-leavened dough which is quite soft. (Yeast-leavened dough is also part of toast, pizza, bagels, some kinds of donuts etc.) In addition, it's a kind of not-so-fine puff pastry (Danish pastry): Between two layers of dough there is a layer of solid fat (like butter).

It began in early 1985 when father and son team, Rich and Greg Komen, enlisted a master baker to create the world's greatest cinnamon roll from scratch. After months of frustration and hundreds of failed attempts, the trio came up with the perfect mix combining the finest ingredients from across the globe.
