Cinnamon Rolls/Cinnamon Twist

Cinnamon rolls or cinnamon twists? Both are really good. Make the dough and the filling the evening before and in the morning get them ready and bake. 👨‍🍳🥧👩‍🍳

Ingredients:

1. All purpose flour- 4 cups

2. Sugar – 100gr.

3. Yeast – 2 tsp

4. Egg – 1 large

5. Butter – 5 tbsp, unsulated and melted

6. Milk -1 cup,warm

Cinnamon rolls filling:

1. Butter – 3 tbsp, soft and unsulted

2. Light Brown Sugar – 1 cup

3. Cinnamon – 2 tsp

Cinnamon twists filling:

1.Butter – 3 tbsp,soft and unsulted

2. Light Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup

3. Cinnamon – 1 tsp

Mix all ingredients and make a soft dough. Oil a bowl(I used the same bowl I made the dough in) and let it rise. If you want you can make it the night before and let it rise overnight. When the dough is ready on a flat surface roll it into a rectangle. Spread butter all over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and spread all over the dough except an inch on one side. Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 1 1/2 – 2 inch pieces. Put them in a pan and cover to rise again, for about 45 min to an hour. When they are ready preheat oven to 350°F and bake for about 30-35 min.

• For the cinnamon twists simply devide the dough and roll like you would make pizza, then cover both pieces with butter, spread the cinnamon and brown sugar mix on one piece and put the other on top buttered side down. Cut lines and twist them. Put them in a pan right next to each other and cover to rise for an hour again.

• Just before you put them in the oven you can spread on top of the cinnamon rolls/twists one egg and milk whisked well. This is optional, but I do like them better that way.

Easter Bread

Ingredints:

1. All Purpose Flour – about 4 cups

2. Sugar – 1/2 cup

3. Yeast – 2 tsp.

4. Egg – 1 midium

5. Vanilla – 1tsp.

6. Milk – 3/4 cup (lukewarm)

7. Butter – 1/4 cup, melted

8. A little oil – I used olive oil     

Egg Wash:

 1 egg + a little milk

Add the ingredients in the order they are listed and make a soft dough. Coat the dough in oil and let it rise overnight. The next day, make three logs and shape them into a braid. Let it rise again about 30min to an hour. Before putting it in the oven, spread egg wash all over the bread and bake in a preheated oven at 400° for about 25-30min. 

Note:

  • You can add raisins soaked in rum for 20-30min, like I did. I eyeballed the amount. You can also add anything else you like in that kind of recipe.
  • Depending on your oven, it may take less or more time to bake it.
