The story behind this recipe

...or cinnamon rolls. Soooo good, especially since cinnamon is my favorite spice for sweets.

It’s basically a roulade, baked and sliced, that works for any occasion.

I made a dough (similar to a cozonac dough) using:

600 g flour

2 beaten eggs

10 g yeast

200 g lukewarm milk

2 tablespoons sugar

100 ml sunflower oil

salt

I kneaded the whole mixture well and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour. You need to get a dough that is easy to handle, but not very hard, nor soft.

I made the filling out of:

cinnamon

brown sugar

butter

I just added as much as I felt like. I didn't weigh anything.

The glaze for when we take them out:

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

vanilla

3 tablespoons sour cream

1/2 cup milk

We boil it for 1 minute over low heat.

Roll out the dough, and distribute the butter, sugar, and cinnamon on top. You can also throw in some vanilla sugar.

We proceed as shown in the picture:

Roll it up, and cut each slice equally.

This is after 1 hour of rising.

We put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees, then another 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

After we take them out of the oven, we pour the vanilla sauce and let them rest, covered with aluminum foil. You have to be patient and leave them for 20 minutes under the foil.

Enjoy the sweetness!
