These irresistible rolls are a famous Swedish breakfast item.
The aroma of Cinnamon being baked is to die for :) It is simply so very extra ordinarily
heavenly that one can’t move from the point and that is, from in front of the
oven :D
Here in Germany they are known as the “Zimt Schnecken” (translated:
Cinnamon snails), they are in different variations with raisins, Walnuts and
hazel nuts. I did not add any to these as I wanted them simple, they smell a
lot like the famous “Hamburger Franzbrötchen” which I love above all, only that
these are in a bun form
I wanted to make them since quite
a while but then a Friend asked for them and I thought this is the time to get
my hands on it. Sana Hasan dearie I hope
you will try and enjoy them soon :D
They are made in a big tray or a baking sheet but I wanted to make them
differently so I had the idea of placing them in the Muffin form, so they come
out neat and tidy and easy to pick and eat.
I must say it was a very good idea :) You will see them baking so
perfectly, they were so beautiful in size and shape and taste!
I made the dough and let it rest for 40 minutes and then started to work
with it
The dough is ultra soft and easy to handle and form. Just one thing that
these are REAL Calories Bomb as I really used nearly 250 gram butter in the
whole process, but so what, eat drink
and be happy :D
I used Honey to make it real sticky and I must say Super Duper and
extreme tasty!!
I have adopted the recipe from a Ladies magazine named “Tina” but as
always I made some changes according to what I thought would go good, like
adding honey* in it or using a muffin tray instead a baking sheet tray, adding
brown sugar* in the dough , and i used dry yeast* instead of fresh because I didn’t
have that at home .
The good thing is that the dry yeast I buy is organic and they always
write on the back of the pack how much of it is equal to how much fresh yeast
and I find this so super and easy. If anyone making this resides in Germany
then you can buy the “Alnatura Backhefe” it makes the dough so light and fine!
This is what I did:
40 gram white sugar
So for the dough:
320 gram plain flour (add more if you feel the dough is sticky, I added
like 2-3 tbs extra while it was being kneaded)
2 ½ tsp dry yeast or 21 gram fresh yeast cake
3-4 tbs brown sugar
100 ml luke warm milk
1 egg
1tsp vanilla essence
120 gram soft butter
Keep the filling ready aside so you can sprinkle that immediately as you have
rolled the dough out, don’t make any paste of them, just sprinkle all one by
one that is much better and then just merge all with your hands later.
50 gram brown sugar
2 tbs cinnamon powder
130 gram soft butter
3-4 tbs honey
So now you can follow these pictures step by step,
*knead the dough slightly on a good floured base, roll out around a ½ cm
thick
*First of all spread the soft butter till all corners evenly.
*Sprinkle the white sugar first, then brown sugar, cinnamon
*Top with zigzag honey
*Sprinkle
nuts if you like to
Now start rolling with gentle hands
Let it stay another 10 minutes and then bake in a preheated oven on
170°C for 25 minutes.
Keep checking do not over bake, I inserted a shashlik stick to check it
off and on
My Cinnabons are a bit browner as usually because I used the brown sugar
in the dough , you can omit if you want light but brown sugar has its own taste
: )
Once ready, take them out and place on a plate, as when the honey melts
and gets cold they may stick to the bottom but wow indescribable the taste of
melted honey and sugar Ummmmmm : )
Make a cream and drizzle it as they are still warm, I made my frosting
with cream like I make for my Carrot cake as that tastes toooooooo good .
150 gram Philadelphia or any brand
2-3 tbs soft butter
½ cup castor sugar
½ tsp Vanila essence
Mix well and drop ….drop…
Viola the ultra delish Cinni Minnies
are ready to gobble : )
