Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for 10 minutes. While they are cooling, prepare your glaze, then drizzle over the tops of them. Enjoy warm, or let sit until room temperature, for the glaze to firm up.
How do you make dough rise without yeast?
Traditional cinnamon rolls tend to use yeast, to ensure the dough rises and becomes puffy.
In my recipe, you’ll notice there is no yeast. Instead of yeast, we use self-rising flour. This ensures the dough rises beautifully, without the need to rest, knead of proof!
Can I use all-natural yogurt?
I’ve made many 2 ingredient dough recipes, and have tried a bunch of yogurts. Some have worked consistently well (Greek yogurt and coconut yogurt), but some have been difficult to use.
Plain yogurt, also referred to as natural yogurt, has been a difficult one. Several brands have been okay, but most have been difficult to form into a dough.
What will happen is the dough will become super sticky, and you’ll continue to add more and more flour. Eventually, you’ll have a smooth dough. However, once it is baked, it remains flat, doughy and very, VERY undercooked.
Stick to Greek Yogurt or Coconut Yogurt.
Dietary Substitutions
Vegan Cinnamon Rolls– Be sure the yogurt you use is dairy free, like coconut yogurt or Greek style soy yogurt.
Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls– Use gluten free self rising flour.
Sugar Free Cinnamon Rolls– Replace the filling with sugar free brown sugar and be sure to ice them with sugar free powdered sugar.
Storing and Freezing Tips
To store: These cinnamon rolls should be eaten fresh, or within a day. If you plan on eating them over 2-6 days, they need to be stored in the refrigerator. Cover them in plastic wrap or keep them in a sealable container.
To freeze: Place cinnamon rolls in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
To reheat: If you are re-heating from the fridge, either microwave them for 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven (180C/350F) for 6 minutes. If you are re-heating from the freezer, either microwave them on the thaw setting (around 4 minutes) then again on normal settings (for 1 minute). Or, allow to thaw at room temperature then reheat in the oven.
