This pastry has been popular for years and it has made a mark in history… and on our sweet teeth. The first cinnamon roll was baked in Sweden where they also celebrate a “National Cinnamon Bun Day” on October 4 every year. There, cinnamon rolls are even considered as social institutions that should not be missed. Cinnamon rolls in Sweden are also not as sweet and heavy as they are in America. The dough usually contains a hint of cardamom, a spice in the ginger family, and they are baked in muffin wrappers to make a more delicate treat.

Making Cinnamon Rolls

Its main ingredients include flour, cinnamon, sugar, and butter, which when combined delicately, gives you a robust and sweet flavor. In some places cinnamon rolls are also topped with cream cheese, icing, and even ice cream! This pastry is mainly prepared by baking and the dough is initially set into thin sheets. While rolling the sheet, various ingredients such as nuts, sugar, butter and cinnamon are spread over the dough. A glaze is also spread over the rolls when it is almost ready. Baking time usually only takes 20-30 minutes so it is somewhat easy to make.
