Measure the infused ingredient

This recipe uses cannabutter in a controlled part of the formula, then uses conventional ingredients for the rest of the structure. That keeps the food tasting like the dish first and an edible second. Before cooking, estimate the strength of your infusion with the THC potency calculator, then divide the finished batch into equal portions.

Dose deliberately: potency depends entirely on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the full batch, divide evenly and label infused food clearly. Effects from edibles can be delayed.

GATHER & MEASURE

Ingredients

For the dough

For the cinnamon filling

For the cream cheese glaze

Flour, milk, yeast, one egg, sugars, cinnamon, cream cheese and three separate butter portions

Keep the plain butter for the dough, the two butters for the filling, and the cream cheese glaze separate as you measure. The infusion belongs in the cinnamon spiral.

FROM PREP TO FINISH

Make it, step by step

  1. Soft yeast dough being kneaded on a lightly floured wooden worktop

    Mix, knead & let rise

    Mix warm milk, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg and melted plain butter. Stir in flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.

    Knead 7 to 9 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and rise 60 to 75 minutes, until puffy and nearly doubled.

  2. Cinnamon sugar being sprinkled over a thin butter layer on a rectangle of dough

    Butter & fill the dough

    Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into a roughly 12-by-14-inch rectangle. Spread with the softened cannabutter and plain butter, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar.

  3. Nine unbaked cinnamon rolls arranged in a three by three grid in a square pan

    Roll, cut & arrange

    Roll tightly from the long edge and cut into 9 equal pieces. Arrange in a greased 9-inch square pan. Cover and rise 30 to 45 minutes.

  4. Cream cheese glaze being spread over nine golden baked cinnamon rolls

    Bake & glaze

    Heat oven to 350°F. Bake 22 to 24 minutes, until golden and the center rolls are cooked through.

    Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk to make a thick glaze. Spread over warm—not piping hot—rolls. Divide evenly before calculating potency.

Recipe FAQ

Questions about Cloud Nine Cinnamon Rolls

Can I prepare cannabis cinnamon rolls overnight?

Yes. Shape and refrigerate covered overnight, then let them warm and puff before baking.

Can I put cannabutter in the dough instead?

You can, but keeping it in the filling makes dose distribution and dough texture easier to control.

How should leftovers be stored?

Refrigerate glazed rolls in a sealed container for up to four days and rewarm gently.
