Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you gather your ingredients. I like to line my baking dish with parchment paper to make cleanup easier later, but that’s totally optional. Roll out your cinnamon roll dough on a lightly floured surface, giving it a gentle stretch so it’s a bit larger than its original shape. The fun begins when you spread the softened butter over the dough! This step makes all the flavors really soak in. After that, sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter; the sweet smell wafts up and makes my heart race. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
