Cinnamon roll recipe

Cinnamon rolls are a mix between the classic cinnamon roll and the fancy cardamom roll. It is a lovely sweet yeast dough that is spread with a mixture of cinnamon, butter and sugar before baking.   

Spins with cinnamon and cardamom

This recipe for twirls, whether you fill them with cinnamon or cardamom jelly (for cardamom spinners). You can also choose to make half a portion of each remonce: one with cinnamon and one with cardamom, so you get a portion of each spinner. 

TIP: Also try making pizza filling rolls, which are great for a packed lunch.

How to make cinnamon rolls

There are several ways to make scrunchies. The recipe for cardamom scrunchies uses one technique, but for these cinnamon scrunchies a different technique is used, which gives a different and more "twisted" look.

The technique for great spins:

• Start by rolling the dough out into a large rectangle.
• Grease with remonce, but avoid going 1.5 cm to the edge.
• Fold the sides of the rectangle over themselves so that the dough is in 3 layers.
• Cut strips of dough about 2 cm wide.
• Fold each strip in half, except at one end, so it looks like a pair of pants.
• Twist the "trouser legs" around each other so they are nicely twisted.
• Grab each end of the twist with each hand and twist the dough around two fingers so that you can eventually hide the end and get a nice twirl.

TIP: Also try making a beautiful star bread with remonce or easy scones with blueberries

Tips for my recipe for cinnamon rolls

• Be careful not to overwork your remonce so that the butter starts to melt, as this can cause the remonce to flow out of the rolls during baking.
• The dough must be kneaded well and for a long time until it is completely smooth, supple and shiny. It is best to use cold milk so that you can work with the dough for a long time without it getting too hot.
• Add grated marzipan to the remonce for even more luxuriously delicious twirls.

Can cinnamon rolls be frozen?

You can easily freeze your cinnamon rolls. There are several ways to do this:

• Freeze the rolls raw before they rise. This means that you roll them, then place them on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer. When they are frozen, you can collect them in a bag. When you want to serve the rolls, take them out of the freezer and let them rise, either on the kitchen counter or in the refrigerator (e.g. overnight). After that, they should rise to almost double their size, and then they are ready to bake.
• The freshly baked cinnamon rolls can also be frozen. Here it is a good idea to bake them until they are just cooked through but not too golden. When you want to bake the frozen rolls, simply wet them under a tap before you put them in the oven. This will give them a nice golden color, without them becoming too dark or dry, and taste just like freshly baked rolls.
