Our parents and our grandparents set some dough aside when making bread so they could make cinnamon rolls. There's a better way!
Bread dough is not pastry dough. It's not as sweet or as light as it could be. Chances are, it has only half the volume of those fluffy rolls that you find in the airports.
Years ago, way back before the pandemic, we had a retail store open. A lady came in and bought a bunch of raised, glazed donut mixes.
"I'm not buying these for donuts. These make the very best cinnamon rolls!"
The light went on. It didn't take us long to get to the test kitchen. She was right, they do make the very best cinnamon rolls.
Instead of using bread dough, use a raised donut mix. It's much softer, fluffier, and built to taste like a pastry--not bread. No wonder it's so much better.

Now that you know how to make extra light and fluffy cinnamon rolls, what are you going to fill them with?
If you buy the mix, it comes with a very good cinnamon and sugar filling. But you can go way past that. Look at these examples:
The lemon rolls are filled with lemon pastry filling--like lemon meringue pies. The bismarks are filled with Bavarian cream or fruit fillings. The cherry sweet rolls are filled with cherry filling and chopped nuts. You can also fill your rolls with jams or pie fillings.
