What is the cause of her shrinking dough in cinnamon rolls? ›

The shrinking dough is usually caused by a lack of flour which is characterized by a dough that is still too wet and sticky. The solution is to add a little flour and knead it again.

What happens if you add too much flour to cinnamon rolls? ›

You want to add only the amount of flour that it takes so your dough is not sticky. Adding too much flour will make your rolls very dry. Once you have added the appropriate amount of flour, turn your mixer to a low speed and let the machine do all the kneading for you.

Why did my homemade cinnamon rolls come out hard? ›

Don't Overmix the Dough

When making cinnamon rolls, mix the dough just until the ingredients are incorporated and the dough is smooth and soft. Overmixed dough leads to tough cinnamon rolls. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl and feels tacky but doesn't stick to your fingers.

Can you let cinnamon rolls rise too long? ›

Yes definitely! If you let your cinnamon rolls rise for too long you can over-proof them. This can lead to dense rolls or rolls that collapse after baking.

Can you over rise cinnamon roll dough? ›

You can refrigerate the rolls for up to 12 hours, but try not to go any longer. The rolls are still prone to over-proofing if left in the fridge too long; and the cinnamon-sugar filling can melt and make the bottoms of the rolls syrupy and damp if left unbaked for too long.

Why are my cinnamon rolls not doubling in size? ›

Tips for making fluffy cinnamon rolls

There are a few more reasons your yeasted dough doesn't seem to be rising, including yeast that's too old or expired, a room temperature that's not sufficiently warm, or the liquid you bloomed the yeast in being too hot.

How do you know if your cinnamon rolls are undercooked? ›

To double check that the centre is fully baked, take them out of the oven and lightly pull in the side of a centre cinnamon roll with a fork. If the dough looks raw and gooey the rolls need more time in the oven. Continue to bake them, and check again every 5 minutes.

What makes cinnamon rolls unhealthy? ›

Often a favorite at many seasonal events and carnivals, eating just one cinnamon roll gets you close to your daily recommended calorie count per day, as well as your fat intake and sugar intake. There are really no healthy alternatives to cinnamon rolls, as most are way too high in calories and fat.

Why are my cinnamon rolls dry and crumbly? ›

Most cinnamon rolls use a yeast rasied dough. You may have simply not given them enough time for a second rise after rolling and shaping them. Because you're using a sweet dough, and then rolling it with cinnamon and sugar and butter, the yeast needs to work hard to raise the dough.

Why did my cinnamon rolls deflate after baking? ›

Over kneading will over develop the gluten in the flour making a tough structure that will pull the dough together once the steam is gone from the loaf. Knead only until the dough is smooth, shiny, and pliable. Over raising will make the bread's framework too fragile and it will collapse as it cools.
