Method
- Combine 3 cups flour, cake mix, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Beat in warm water until thoroughly combined. Mix in remaining 1 cup flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, 6–8 minutes.
- Roll dough into a 9x18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough and sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll dough into a log, starting with a long edge, and pinch edges to seal.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet.
- Cut dough into 1-inch slices and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 15 minutes.
- Bake until cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through, 15–18 minutes.
Notes
For extra indulgence, drizzle with cream cheese glaze or simple powdered sugar icing after baking. You can also add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for more texture.
