NOTES : Here is the Cinnabon recipe that was posted to this list last year.
As I
mentioned yesterday, I've had great luck with it when using my bread
machine [Breadman Plus.] I use the exact amounts specified and I bring
the milk to room temperature [by nuking it.] I put the ingredients in
the machine, liquids first, dry next and after making a little "well" in
the center, put the yeast in. Then I use the "dough" setting on the ABM.
For the most part, afterwards, I follow the directions as listed,
except for a few things. The machine does one rise on the dough setting;
I assemble the rolls as directed, but let them rise again [after
rolling, filling and cutting] on the baking pan. BTW, my rise method is
to turn on the oven to 150 degrees for one minute, turn it off, then put
the rolls in, covered with a PAM-coated damp towel. My friend, an
expert Cinnamon Roll baker, also told me her "secret." Add more butter
whenever and wherever you feel necessary. This keeps

Answer 2

As a chef I find your question quite vague! Nothing personal! However, it's generally the individual doing the baking that makes a recipe "tough". You more than likely over worked the dough and caused your problem.
The recipe for cinnamon rolls is quite simple as it's just a basic sweet dough. Try and stick with well known recipes such as the Culinary Institute, Le Cour d Bleu, or well known chefs.
Also. FRESH-FRESH-FRESH Ingredients!!!!! Check your expiration date on the yeast! Don't over work your dough! Make sure you proof!
