YUMMY! These rolls have a very caramel-ish taste and great texture. I used whole milk instead of buttermilk. My family loves them!

GREAT recipe! I'm usually apprehensive about Alton's recipes, but I was willing to try this because any recipe I've tried in the past has not been good. It was time consuming, but so worth the wait. I did accidentally use dry active yeast and did not realize it until I had it sitting in the bowl waiting to rise. Not sure what to do, I just waited. It took a little longer, but the dough did eventually double. I followed the recipe exactly and was so proud of the results! They really did not rise much in the refrigerator over night, but after putting them in the sauna they totally looked ready to bake. These were fantastic and can't wait to bring them to a family breakfast!

Great recipe,structure of dough was perfect, even with a few of my own tweeks. Used 3 whole eggs instead of yolk and whole egg, used a little less brown sugar for filling, but increased the butter for the filling to 3 Tbsp and smeered it on softened not melted. VERY MUCH MUCH A KEEPER.

These cinnamon rolls are delicious! Hubby says they were better than Cinnabons! I rated 4 stars because I made some changes. I didnt have instant yeast, so I used the Rapidrise yeast that I already had. After reading the reviews from others about using rapidrise I was pretty scared to try it but I decided to give a go anyways and it turned out perfectly fine!! I used salted butter instead of unsalted because thats all I had. I also didnt refridgerate them overnight. I was so anxious to try them, I took a chance and proofed them and then baked them. They puffed up beautifully. I also baked them for 20 minutes rather than 30. Also for the icing I used 3/4 cups of cream cheese. It turned out to be a thicker creamier icing..it was delicious!!! I say give the recipe a try! Itll be sooo worth it!

These were absolutely amazing! I used fleischmann's dry active yeast and these rose perfectly. They were fluffy and the frosting was creamy. I will definitely be repeating this recipe soon!

Although these cinnamon rolls seem fantastic, I cannot ever get the dough to rise. I would love the particular brand of yeast Alton uses posted to this recipe. Each and every time I try to make these, it is an epic fail!

These cinnamon rolls are fantastic! It takes patience, but in the end, it's all worth it! Soo moist! Soo delicious! In my house, they were gone in a day!

I've tried this recipe several times; I'm no stranger to bread baking. Adding the yeast to the flour makes for rolls that NEVER rise, no matter what. I'm betting that activating the yeast in liquid might make for better results. But as the recipe is written, it's a recipe for failure.
I also think the cream cheese/powdered sugar frosting tasted funny. Not even my kids would eat it.
So if you do try this recipe, make sure to activate the yeast in liquid. Otherwise, baker beware!

Great recipe with perfect texture for a cinnamon roll! I, too, like other reviewers, used active dry yeast instead of the instant dry yeast. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Luckily I have a nice, big, warm sunny kitchen window, and left it there to rise. Turned out great, even with my mistake. It rose beautifully thank goodness! I did have to add a bit more buttermilk because the flour was too much. Also I added a bit of vanilla extract to the filling and icing. With a very busy Christmas morning, i forgot to add the water in the oven... not sure what that is for? But It turned out so good! I am very happy with this recipe and would definitely make again

Just made these today, and they were such a huge hit. The dough yesterday didn't rise as high as Alton's in the video however they turned out great. My oven was occupied so to "wake up the yeast" I put them in the microwave. I placed boiling water in a 9 x 12, then placed the rolls on top. They were out of the fridge for about 60 min. They got quite huge. So don't worry if the dough isn't as large as Alton's the day prior. Will make every year on Christmas from now on out! Thanks!
