Ask the Chef – Tips & Tricks
Exact Measurements: When it comes to baking, precise measurements are key. Make sure to use measuring cups and spoons to get the exact amounts of ingredients needed for the recipe.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Room temperature ingredients like whole milk, unsalted butter, and egg will help the dough rise and develop flavor more evenly. Plan ahead and take these ingredients out of the refrigerator at least an hour before starting the recipe.
Keep Dough Moist: If the dough feels too dry while kneading, you can add small amounts of water or milk to moisten it slightly. If it’s too moist, you can add a bit more flour to firm it up.
Roll Dough Evenly: Try to maintain an even thickness while rolling out the dough so that the cinnamon rolls bake evenly. Use a ruler or bench scraper to help you achieve uniform dough thickness.
Use Rainbow Sprinkles: Rainbow sprinkles are a signature ingredient of this recipe and add fun and colorful personality. Use high-quality, colorful, and small-size sprinkles to keep their shape and brightness in the finished cinnamon rolls.
Decorate With Extra Sprinkles: Sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles over the glaze while it’s still wet. The added crunch and color make the cinnamon rolls more festive and enjoyable.
Let Rolls Cool Slightly: Cooling cinnamon rolls slightly before drizzling the glaze on top will help it thicken slightly. It will also keep the rolls from becoming too sweet and help the glaze set.”
