Cinnamon Rolls (Simple and Delicious)
Description
The easiest way to turn an ordinary day into a celebration is to bake some delicious pastries. You can do this in just two hours by preparing yeast dough and a filling made of butter, sugar, and cinnamon. You can shape the buns however you like—arrange them into a heart or "bunny ears." The yeast dough should be left to rise in a warm place: in the kitchen, in a preheated oven, or near a radiator, so it can properly absorb air. Below you'll learn how. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
