Haphazardly slicing your cinnamon rolls

The first rule of cooking and baking is to make sure everything is the same size. This ensures that the entire batch bakes evenly. When cutting cinnamon rolls, you might be tempted to just eyeball the sizing. Not only is failure unavoidable with this method, but you will also become frustrated with the uneven edges and shapes produced by a knife.

The solution to this problem can be found in your bathroom cabinet, according to the King Arthur Baking Company. To slice your cinnamon rolls, use unflavored (again, emphasis on unflavored) floss. Slide a piece of floss under the dough after it has been rolled, pinched at the seams, and is ready to go. Slicing the dough in 2-inch intervals (measure with a ruler), pull the floss upwards and in opposite directions. The cinnamon rolls should easily fit onto your baking sheet.
