Delightfully fluffy cinnamon rolls made with Greek yogurt for a lighter twist on a classic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups bread flour (420g), sifted and leveled
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 â…“ cup fat-free Greek yogurt (333g), plain or unsweetened
  • ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp water or milk of choice
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar (or granulated monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (or powdered monk fruit sweetener)
  • 2 Tbsp milk of choice

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the warmed ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp water or milk of choice. Sprinkle the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar over the liquid and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of sugar and Greek yogurt to the yeast mixture and whisk until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  6. While the dough rises, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling in a bowl.
  7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 18×12 inches and ¼ inch thick.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon filling over the dough, leaving a border.
  9. Roll the dough tightly from the long side opposite the border.
  10. Slice the log into 12 rolls of about 1 to 1 ½ inches thick.
  11. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  12. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  13. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  14. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before glazing.
  15. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  16. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
