07 Step

Glaze: While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Serve: Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
For an extra nutty flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the filling. Simply spread the chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant.
Ensure your bread dough is fully thawed for easier rolling and a better rise.
If you don't have a warm place for proofing, you can preheat your oven to the lowest setting, then turn it off and place the covered rolls inside. Make sure the oven is not too hot!
For richer flavour, use salted butter instead of unsalted butter.
