Time 1h40m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 (0.6 ounce) cakes cake yeast
6 ½ tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 eggs
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
⅔ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Pour the warm milk into a mixing bowl and mash in the fresh cake yeast. Mix in 6 1/2 tablespoons of soft butter, eggs, cardamom, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 3 1/2 cups of the flour. Use a wooden spoon to mix the dough. If it's very sticky, mix in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
  • Cream together the 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in the cinnamon.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it until it's firm, about 3 minutes. Divide the dough in half; roll each half into a rectangle no more than 1/2 inch thick. Spread each rectangle with half the filling.
  • Stack one layer of dough and filling on top of the other rectangle of dough, filling-side up. Roll the dough up, starting with the edge closest to you, to form a long log. Cut the log into 1 inch-thick slices.
  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease a baking dish or two cake pans.
  • Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. If you like pull-apart rolls, arrange them in a greased baking dish or cake pans, spacing the rolls about 1 inch apart. Place the uneven end pieces on the baking sheet cut-side up for the best presentation. Let the rolls rest 20 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the snails in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pull-apart rolls will take longer to bake: after 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake the rolls until the sides are fully set, about 10 minutes longer. Cover the baking dish with foil if the rolls begin to get too brown.

CINNAMON "SNAILS"



Cinnamon

I learned to make these YEARS ago for school, and still make them today. I made them for work, for a few family gatherings and my boyfriend even loves these even though he doesn't like sweets at all. They are not made from snails, but was given the name from how they look, with the coil for the shell and when the bread starts...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
8 slice 6 pieces of bread (white or wheat) crusts off
1 pkg (4oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar, rounded, unpacked
1 tsp cinnamon (1- 1 1/4 tsp depends on taste)
1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg. Taste mixture with a clean finger or spoon and adjust sugar and spices if needed. In a separate small microwave safe bowl, place the butter and heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until just melted and stir. Set aside both bowls.
  • 2. Take the bread, cut off the edges so you have a square and spread 1 tbsp cream cheese onto each slice. Roll it up into a log or jelly roll shape. Cut each of the logs into 4 equal pieces (cut each log in half. Take each half and cut into half) so you end up with 32 small "snails". Quickly dip each piece into melted butter and roll them around in the white and brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg mixture. Place them on their side on two sprayed baking sheets or one large sheet. These will not expand or get larger in any way so there is no need spread more than 1-2 inches apart.
  • 3. Bake at 350° F for about 8-10 minutes. Flip with tongs or a spatula and closely watch them (so they do not burn) for a few more minutes.
  • 4. If you happen to have remaining cinnamon mixture, and cheese, you can certainly heat up additional butter and pull a few more pieces of bread to finish it up, or place dry mix in a jar for a later date.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the cinnamon rolls with melted butter before baking.
  • For a sweeter glaze, add more powdered sugar to the glaze recipe.
  • For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the cinnamon filling.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Be careful not to overproof the cinnamon rolls. If they rise too much, they will become too light and airy and will not have as much flavor.
  • Enjoy your cinnamon rolls warm, fresh out of the oven. They are also delicious served cold or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon rolls are a classic breakfast pastry that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They are soft, fluffy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious cinnamon rolls at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
