Cinnamon Roll
A cinnamon roll is a sweet, yeasted bread roll characterized by its soft, fluffy texture and rich, warm flavor. The dough is typically spread with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and butter, then rolled into a spiral, sliced, and baked until golden brown. Often topped with a creamy frosting or glaze, a cinnamon roll offers a delightful combination of sweet spice and comforting indulgence. Its appealing appearance and delicious aroma make it a favorite treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Freshly baked cinnamon rolls are soft, moist, and have a melt-in-your-mouth quality, while day-old rolls can be refreshed with a quick warm-up.

Storage Tips
Cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh. However, to store leftover cinnamon rolls, allow them to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap or placing them in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave briefly or bake in a preheated oven until warmed through. Freezing is ideal for longer storage to prevent them from drying out.
