Tips for making the best cinnamon rolls: 
 
1. Don't overheat the milk 
Make sure to let the milk cool once you've brought it to the boil, otherwise, it could kill the yeast. A good tip is to dip your finger in the milk- it should feel warm but not hot. 
 
2. Which yeast should I use? 
We recommend Allinson's Easy Bake Yeast as it'll give your dough a quick rise. The yeast can be added with the flour straight from the pack and will become activated as soon as it meets the liquid.&nbsp; 
 
3. Which milk is best? 
We would always use whole milk to make these delicious cinnamon rolls, however, you can substitute non-dairy milk.
