Baking time:35-40 minutes(depends on the oven)

Level easy

 Cinnamon rolls are easy, an all-time favourite in our home. The aroma, while it's baking in the oven, is so divine. I like the freshly baked straight out of the oven.

The traditional way of making these rolls is a long process, the yeast dough takes about two proofings.

I am using baking powder and baking soda to make them soft, gooey and fluffy.

What you require:

• 2 cups of flour
• 100 gms butter (I use salted butter)
• 3 tbs freshly ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda 
•  1 cup warm milk to knead 

Directions 

• In a large bowl sift flour
• 
  
• Fold in 1/4 butter rubbing with your hands( the best tools)
• 
  
• Add baking powder and soda

• nead till the dough is firm but pliable.

• Rest the dough for 20 minutes
• 
  
• Work the dough with your hands and make two balls.
• 
  
• Dust the work surface with dry flour
• 
  
• Roll out into a square of 1/4 inch thickness
•  
• Brush the surface with a generous amount of butter
• 
  
• Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar and roll out to make a log.
• 
  
• Divide and cut the log into pinwheels of 1-inch thickness
• 
  
• Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray

• Bake in a preheated oven on 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or till done.
• 
  
• Do the same with the other ball of dough

• Remove and sprinkle cinnamon and powdered mix while they are hot. The sugar will melt and form a crusty layer.
