2 weeks of research. A (very) complex spreadsheet. 6 pounds of flour, 20 hours of cooking and so, so many tastings. Join Zaynab Issa in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she takes you through the journey of creating her extra-fluffy cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting - a recipe that took 72 rolls to achieve perfection.

Call me crazy, but these new shows just not as entertaining as the old ones. Maybe it's the personalities, maybe it's the directing, or maybe it's the format, but they just aren't good. Chris' show where he tries to remake a recipe without seeing it is still worth watching. And I wish Brad would do more "It's Alive". But something needs to change at BA.

It’s all cool to use specialty ingredients for recipes, but for something simple like cinnamon rolls that majority just wants to be as accessible as possible, it’s really nice that Zaynab thought about the accessibility of the ingredients used. Also love this behind the scenes of R&D, makes you appreciate the recipe more and is super fun and interesting to watch!

Hey, previous baker here! When we made our cinnamon buns we put them 6 to a tray, in a 6x12 cake pan. Greased with white grease (flour, oil, and shortening whipped). Proofed in the pan, and when they were baked we would flip them over onto a different sheet to cool. This resulted in even buns with no spirals shooting out. Another thing to watch for is how tightly you are rolling it, as that will create pyramids as well. Better to roll just tight enough to keep it together without stretching the dough. Hope this helps someone, happy baking!

@@minnaabdulrazig2145 Yes of course, it'll just be a bit messy since it is a sticky dough. You can simply hand knead (videos on YT for good technique), and keep trying for that 'window' test you see at 3:14 to know when its ready to move onto the next step.

I spread small amounts of butter on the dough, then add my brown sugar cinnamon, slightly roll into the dough, then roll up. But I also found by adding a teaspoon or more of corn starch into my filling, that I didn't lose all of the filling when it got hot and it oozed on the pan. It stays more in the bun. I also add a touch of salt to my cream cheese filling which takes that sweetness down a peg or two. I also added a touch of orange oil to the frosting which I've always loved orange cinnamon rolls as a kid growing up.

It turned out wonderful, my family loved them. Im looking forward to trying it again and prefect their shapes a little better. I loved how accessible the ingredients arr and i think this contributes to why this recipe is the best, Zainab takes into consideration every little detail which is really useful.
