Description

These delightful Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls are a fun twist on a classic treat, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack. Made with easy-to-use refrigerated pizza dough, cinnamon sugar, and an optional maple syrup or caramel dipping sauce, they bake to golden perfection in under 30 minutes. Their charming heart shape makes them an ideal choice for special occasions or simply to brighten up any day with a sweet, comforting pastry.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 14-oz can refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade pizza dough)

Filling

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Optional Dipping Sauce

  • Maple syrup (or caramel sauce), for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat to ensure the rolls don’t stick and bake evenly.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a clean work surface, spreading it out into a rectangular shape for even coverage of cinnamon sugar.
  3. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the sugar and ground cinnamon mixture over the entire surface of the dough, ensuring a uniform sweet and spicy flavor in every bite.
  4. Roll the Dough: Using your fingertips, carefully roll the long edges of the dough inward towards the center, one edge halfway and then repeat on the opposite long edge so that they touch. This creates the heart shapes when sliced.
  5. Slice Rolls: With a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick segments, which will form individual heart-shaped cinnamon rolls.
  6. Arrange and Bake: Place each cut segment face-up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm. Offer maple syrup or caramel sauce on the side for optional dipping to enhance the sweetness.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts for well-defined heart shapes.
  • For a more decadent touch, drizzle icing or glaze over the rolls after baking.
  • Homemade pizza dough can be substituted if preferred, just make sure it’s rolled out evenly.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • If using caramel sauce, warm it slightly to serve as a dip for a luscious flavor pairing.
