What are buns or cinnamon rolls

Cinnamon Buns, cinnamon rolls or Cinnamon Rolls, as you have seen many times, is a sweet spiral-shaped bread, which adds a good amount of cinnamon inside.

They were created in 1920 in Sweden and Denmark, and although initially it was a sweet reserved for the high bourgeoisie due to the cost of its ingredients, its popularity grew after the Second World War, as the use of refined flours and sugars spread. Thus, to this day it is very common to see them in many countries in America and in Europe, and especially in all the Nordic countries (in Sweden, their origin, they are known by the name of " kanelbulle ").

It is an easy sweet bread to make, which requires mixing but not tedious or expert kneading, so it makes it much easier to make.

Due to its sweet flavor and its aroma of spices (especially cinnamon flavor), it is an ideal pastry sweet to accompany coffee, either in the morning or in the afternoon.

You will often see the use of raisins in their filling, and a sweet coating to accompany them, but you can also find them without them.

Why I encourage you to make this recipe

• No kneading, just mix and in fact the minimum and you will see that you get some delicious rolls.
• I want to urge you to make the recipe in its entirety - the dough is delicious with that spicy interior, but the frosting is definitely the final chilli pepper to the recipe - those scones are delicious with that sweet sauce and it helps to soften the firmer exterior of the scone! , making every bite irresistible!
• The buns are small pieces that we put in the oven at high temperatures: you will see that they are baked in half an hour.

Step-by-step recipe for Spiced Cinnamon Rolls or Cinnamon Buns with Sweet Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

For the bun dough:

• 310 g wheat flour
• 25g butter
• 5 g chemical yeast
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 190ml milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 220ºC.
• Prepare the base of your cocotte , applying release spray or melted butter, and distribute it evenly over the entire surface.

Prepare the bun dough:

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, with the salt, the yeast, the cinnamon and the baking soda.
2. In another medium bowl, mix the milk with the semi-melted butter and vanilla extract, and add the mixture to the bowl with the flour. Mix without exceeding yourself, just until integrated.
3. Flour a surface with flour and spread the dough (I do it in the Nordic Ware Naturals tray , it helps me since it is very wide and I don't dirty the kitchen), making a rectangle, about 25 x 20 cm. Booking.

Prepare the filling and form the buns:

1. Brush the dough you have prepared with the melted butter, generously. It will be what will stick the mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
2. In a ramekin or bowl, add the rest of the ingredients: the sugars, cinnamon, paprika and nutmeg. Mix with a spoon and distribute the mixture over the entire surface of the dough, sprinkling and distributing evenly.
3. With a spatula and without applying a lot of force, lightly press the filling mixture so that it sticks with the butter.
4. We are going to form the buns: roll the dough on its long side, forming a cylinder and inside which will be the filling that you have prepared.
5. With a sharp knife or a pastry scraper (the Kuchenprofi set works great for me for this purpose), cut the cylinder into discs about 3 cm wide (you should get 7-8 discs). I recommend you make some marks on the dough before cutting, to be clear where you will cut, how many you leave and that all the discs will be approximately the same size.
