3. Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Dune’s Spice Cinnamon Rolls

Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, warm the milk and add the melted butter. Mix well.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the dough starts to come together.
5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. For convenience, consider using a KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Make the Spice Filling

1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, softened butter, and spice melange.
2. Mix until smooth and well-blended. Adjust the spice to taste for a more intense flavor.

Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 16×12 inches.
2. Spread the spice butter mixture evenly over the dough.
3. Optional: sprinkle with chopped nuts or raisins for added texture.
4. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
5. Cut the log into 12-15 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish.

Bake the Cinnamon Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Let the rolls rest for 15 minutes, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
3. For an extra touch, brush with Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker or drizzle with glaze.

4. Storage Tips for Your Spice Cinnamon Rolls

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked rolls in resealable bags for up to 1 month. Reheat in a microwave or oven for that freshly baked warmth.

Pro tip: You can also prepare the rolls in advance and refrigerate overnight before baking in the morning for a quick breakfast solution.
