The video's creator is making homemade Cinnabon-style cinnamon rolls, claiming they can be made better than the store-bought version. They start by taste-testing a Cinnabon cinnamon roll and finding it to be dry and lacking in cinnamon flavor. They then proceed to make their own dough, using a stand mixer and ingredients such as flour, sugar, yeast, and butter. The dough is allowed to rise, then rolled out and spread with a cinnamon sugar mixture. The dough is rolled up, cut into segments, and allowed to rise again before being baked. The creator then makes a vanilla bean cream cheese glaze and drizzles it over the cooled cinnamon rolls. They conclude that their homemade version is significantly better than the store-bought Cinnabon, with a softer and more flavorful texture.
