Close your eyes and imagine the scent of warm cinnamon, brown sugar, and yeasty dough wafting from a 1950s corner bakery—the kind with checkered floors, glass cases, and rolls so tender they melt on your tongue.
This Retro Bakery-Style Cinnamon Roll recipe captures that timeless charm: pillowy-soft dough, a generous cinnamon-sugar swirl, and a cloud-like vanilla glaze (no cream cheese—this is old-school!). Baked in a cast-iron skillet or casserole dish, they emerge with crisp edges and gooey centers—just like Grandma used to make.
