HOW TO MAKE BLACKSTONE CINNAMON ROLLS

STEP BY STEP:

Step 1: Dough Preparation 

Start by unrolling the store-bought cinnamon roll dough or rolling out the homemade dough in a rectangle.

Step 2: Filling

Take the two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and spread it all over the dough evenly. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and the powdered sugar across the dough. If you want the cinnamon rolls to turn out goey Spread a generous layer of softened butter over the rolled-out dough.

This will create that gooey, rich texture. Don’t be shy with the butter!

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. This ensures that each bite has a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and buttery goodness.

Step 3: Rolling Up

Roll the dough tightly to create a spiral gently using a rolling pin into a log. This will help trap the gooey filling inside.

Now divide the log into individual rolls. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the rolls. A clean cut will prevent the filling from leaking out.

Step 4: Cooking cinnamon rolls on a Blackstone griddle

Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium heat and once the griddle hits 350 degrees spread the butter on the griddle. Now, place the cinnamon rolls leaving some space between them.

Place the rolls close together but not too crowded. This helps them rise up instead of spreading out.

Step 5: Smashing

Place a parchment paper on your cinnamon roll and smash it on a blackstone griddle using a griddle spatula until it forms a flat shape like a pancake. 

Step 6: Flipping

Cook the rolls on one side until they develop a beautiful golden crust, which typically takes about 4-6 minutes.

Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. You can cover them with a griddle dome or a large metal bowl to help cook the tops evenly.

Gently flip the cinnamon rolls using a spatula and cook the other side until it’s golden as well, which should take about 4-6 minutes.

Step 7: Check Doneness

To ensure the rolls are fully cooked, you can use a toothpick or cake tester to insert into the center of a roll. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs when they’re done.

Step 8: Glazing

The final step is to prepare the icing using powdered sugar and water and glaze the Blackstone Cinnamon Roll.

TEMPERATURE INSTRUCTION:

To cook the cinnamon rolls perfectly with a beautiful golden crust the temperature of the Blackstone griddle must be around 350°F.

Remember that griddles can vary in terms of temperature control, so it’s a good idea to use an instant-read thermometer to monitor the griddle’s surface temperature. This will help you maintain the ideal cooking temperature and ensure that your cinnamon rolls turn out perfect with that golden crust.

CONFIDENCE TIP:

– Take your time when rolling the dough. The dough must be tight and even so, it ensures that the rolls are in perfect shape when griddled.

– Use an instant-read thermometer to monitor the griddle’s surface temperature for precise cooking.- Start with a small batch if you’re new to griddle cooking to build your confidence.

– Be patient and don’t overcrowd the griddle to ensure even cooking.

– Adjust the temperature as needed during cooking to maintain the ideal heat.- Taste and adjust the recipe to your preference for future batches.

STORAGE & REHEATING:

When reheating them place them in an oven for a few minutes to restore their soft, gooey texture and warmth.
