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.

Fruit Bars

These really tasty treats were supposed to be fig newtons, but since I didn’t have figs, I simply used apricot jam mixed with cinnamon and they came out really good. This simple and easy recipe made perfect fall treats. Recipe is with apricot and cinnamon, but you can use any jam or fruit filling.

Ingredients:

1.All purpose flour – about 1 1/2 cups

2.Light Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup(110g)

3.Baking Powder – 1/2 tsp

4.Salt- 1/4 tsp

5.Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp

6.Butter, softened – 6 tbsp

7.Egg -1, large

8.Vanilla extract – 2 tsp

9.Apricot – 1/2 cup mixed with 1/2tsp cinnamon

In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and set aside. In a bowl beat butter, add sugar and beat again. Next add the egg, vanilla and beat. Add the dry ingredients slowly and blend well to make dough. Make a rectangle about an inch think and put in the fridge for 30min. Take dough out of fridge and cut in half. Roll to about 0.3 mm thick , cut in half, spread the apricot jam in the middle leaving some space on both sides, then fold the sides, flip over and set on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350° and bake for about 25 min.

• Every oven is different, so check on them and when you see the bottom is light brown take them out of the oven.
