Tips for homemade cinnamon rolls. 1. Ensure that the yeast is not very old nor it is from a packet which has been kept open for too long. 2. Prefer to sieve the maida to make it lump free. 3. The rolling has to be uniform, so the cinnamon rolls bake evenly too. For that we suggest, you use a thick rolling pin so you can give uniform pressure. 4. These rolls have a resting time at 2 stages, so plan for making them in advance. 5. Always use a damp muslin cloth while setting the dough and rolls aside. This is to prevent them from drying.
