I love cinnamon rolls- they go as any meal, breakfast or dessert, and each bite is as heavenly as the one before and with any topping in the world- from maple syrup to hot chocolate sauce.
Many of you might think that cinnamon rolls are difficult to make and it is just better to get them from outside- at least better than investing your own time in it. However, this is such a wrong misconception! Cinnamon rolls are easy to prepare- easier than you know it! I do agree that it seems otherwise and thus, I am posting this recipe to solve this misconception!
I promise you- you’ll only stick to this recipe once you try it out and I sincerely hope that you love doing so!
