Cinnamon Rolls

Swedish beautiful cinnamon rolls. Love from the first sight.

Cooking Time: 3h

Serving: 4-8 servings

INGREDIENTS:

Dough:

  • all of the sponge
  • 600g flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
  • 350ml warm milk
  • 100g cold butter
  • 100g brown sugar
  • half teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 200g soft butter
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 10 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg, sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and beaten eggs with a fork, and start kneading the dough. Add milk until the dough is smooth, it might be a bit sticky at the beginning.
  2. When the dough is smooth, cut the butter into small cubes and gradually add them to the dough, kneading continuously. Stop kneading when the butter is no longer visible in the dough.

  3. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 2 hours.

  4. Prepare the filling. Mix butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar until you get a smooth mixture.

  5. After this time, punch the dough to let it deflate and roll it out on a lightly floured surface.

  6. Spread half of the filling over the entire length of the dough and fold it in half, enclosing the filling inside. Roll it out again. Spread the rest of the filling and fold it in half. Roll it out once more.

  7. Cut the dough into 16 long strips. Cut them in half on one side, not completely, and twist them like in this video: YouTube Link If you want to make larger rolls, cut strips twice as thick, make a partial cut as if you were going to slice them completely, but don’t, then roll them.

  8. Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some distance between them, as they will rise further.

  9. Cover them with a cloth and let them rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes.

  10. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

  11. Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 20 minutes until they turn golden brown.
