Renowned for their delectable cinnamon rolls, Cinnabon has unveiled the secrets behind their signature dough, filling, and frosting. According to the Cinnabon chef, the key lies in freshly baked dough made with premium ingredients, infused with Makara cinnamon and sugar for an ooey-gooey center. The iconic cream cheese frosting adds a tantalizing touch, captivating the senses with its aroma and flavor.
While the chef remained coy about the exact recipe used by the bakery, he offered a helpful alternative for home bakers: mixing dark sugar with cinnamon (40g sugar to 1 teaspoon cinnamon). The dough is proofed before baking to allow the yeast to work its magic, and expert bakers carefully roll the dough by hand to achieve the perfect soft texture. The chef emphasized that practice is crucial for mastering dough shaping and rolling techniques.
The frosting, generously applied while the buns are fresh out of the oven, melts through the center, adding an irresistible touch to these world-famous treats.
If you can’t get your hands on Cinnabon’s world-famous treats, you may find alternatives at Costa Coffee, Starbucks, Pret A Manger, or Greggs.
