Cinnamon buns

Cinnamon buns

One of the best Swedish inventions is definitely cinnamon rolls, originally called kannelbullar. We can buy them, for example, in a well-known chain store, just like the popular meatballs. Or you can make them at home, according to our recipe. No one can resist the fragrant and fluffy rolls.

Ingredients · Servings 1 dose
  • Dough:
  • 250 ml milk
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 21 g yeast
  • 400 g plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 60 g melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Filling (one portion for each rectangle):
  • 50 g softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Further:
  • 1 egg for brushing
  • granulated sugar for sprinkling
Method · 1 h
  1. In a bowl, mix lukewarm milk with two teaspoons of powdered sugar and yeast. Let stand for 15 minutes until the yeast has risen.
  2. Weigh the flour with two tablespoons of sugar into a bowl, add salt, melted butter, yeast and mix everything thoroughly into a dough. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size (about 45-60 minutes).
  3. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two parts. Roll each part into a rectangle, spread 50 g of softened butter on it and sprinkle evenly with sugar mixed with cinnamon.
  4. Roll the slices like a roulade and cut into pieces about 2.5 cm thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  5. Then brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated or pearl sugar.
  6. Preheat the oven to 210 °C. Bake the snails for 9-13 minutes and let them cool on a wire rack.
