The softest cinnamon buns ever


Made these cinnamon buns, and they’re easily the best I’ve ever had, the recipe is here: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/perfectly-pillowy-cinnamon-rolls-recipe

Don’t be afraid to let your mixer knead the dough for 15–20 minutes, this is the key to that pillowy texture, along with proper proofing. The dough should come together around the dough hook when it’s ready, it will be quite soft and sticky at the beginning.
I also changed the icing by adding more cream cheese and less icing sugar because their recipe was waaaay too sweet.

    Did you specifically use the King Arthur flour mentioned in the recipe?

    I don’t know if I’ve ever used bread flour (or flour in general) in my fillings, what’s the reason for that?

    I’ve seen many baked goods referred to as pillowy but I’ve never actually wanted to lay my whole self on one before now

    Ma’am. You are forewarned. I’ve called the coppers (not really calm down folks) to report all that delictable, ooey-gooey goodness. It’s dad gum illegal to show folks scrumptious buns.

    I didn’t see any cream cheese in the icing recipe. How much did you add? I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cream cheese frosting for years. Thanks!!!

    I’m glad to see I’m not the only one with my mind in the gutter with these comments 😂. Ma’am did you get consent from that bun?!?

    Do you have to use bread flour or will AP suffice?
