Equipment

  • Parchment Paper/Sheet (Large) - Essential for lining baking sheets or pans; helps in easy removal of the cinnamon rolls after baking without sticking.

  • Rolling Pin - Used to evenly and efficiently flatten the dough into a rectangular shape before adding fillings and rolling it up.

  • Bread Pan (12-Inch) or Cake Pan - To hold the rolled cinnamon rolls while they rise and bake; size can vary based on recipe preference, but 12 inches is common for this dish.

  • Heavy-Duty Mixing Bowl Set - For mixing ingredients like the yeast-activated dough and filling. A set usually includes two or three large bowls, which are convenient for different stages of preparation.

  • Candy Thermometer (Digital) - Useful in ensuring butter is melted to the correct temperature without burning it.

  • Rolling Pin Cover - While optional, a rolling pin cover protects the surface and the rolling pin from flour dust during preparation stages.

  • Silicone Spatula Set - For scraping bowls clean, folding ingredients like butter or sugar into dough, and general mixing tasks. Silicone spatulas are durable and easy to clean.

  • Oven Thermometer (Digital) - Ensures accurate baking temperatures for the cinnamon rolls.

  • Pastry Brush (Metal/Silicone) - Useful for applying glazes or egg washes to the cinnamon rolls before baking; enhances browning and adds flavor.

  • Stand Mixer (Optional but useful) - Provides an efficient way to mix dough, especially if making a large batch of cinnaminate

Meanwhile, pour 1/2 cup warm water into large bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; stir in yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add potato mixture to yeast mixture; mix on low speed until well blended, 2 minutes. Mix in 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, beating well. Beat until sticky dough forms.

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Turn dough out onto well-floured work surface. Roll out dough to 24x16-inch rectangle. Sprinkle filling evenly over dough. Starting at 1 long side, roll up dough jelly-roll style, enclosing filling. Using large knife dipped in flour, cut roll crosswise into 12 pieces. Transfer rolls to baking sheet, spacing rolls about 3/4 inch apart. Cover baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, about 20 minutes (rolls will be very puffy).
