Cinnamon rolls are one of the favorite treats of many people around the world. First of all, because they are quite simple to prepare, but at the same time the taste is excellent. Moreover, cinnamon rarely causes allergies, which means that most children can be treated to such a delicacy. Fragrant and fresh cinnamon buns will be a worthy decoration of any festive table or a simple breakfast.

Puff pastry

So, before you start cooking, you need to decide what kind of dough you will use. For most recipes, both home-made and store-bought dough will work. Today we will consider more than one recipe for cinnamon buns, so first we will give ways to prepare two types of yeast dough - regular and puff.

To make puff pastry you will need the following ingredients:

• 250 grams of margarine;
• 3 cups flour;
• 1 egg;
• cold water (preferably boiled);
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice;
• a little s alt.

When preparing puff pastry, use a standard 250 ml glass. The process itself takes a lot of time, but is nothing complicated. To create gooddough for buns, proceed as follows:

1. Sprinkle 2/3 cup flour into a bowl.
2. Cut margarine into small cubes and add to flour.
3. Stir the mixture. Use a knife to get rid of lumps. The more evenly the dough is distributed, the better the finished mixture will turn out.
4. Sculpt a ball from the resulting dough. We do not knead, but leave it like that.
5. Take the second bowl and add 1 glass of flour there. Add lemon juice and s alt.
6. Break the egg into a separate glass and shake. Add liquid to 2/3 of the upper level.
7. Pour the egg into the flour. Start kneading, gradually adding another 1 cup of flour. The dough should be soft and not hard.
8. Roll out the finished ball into a rectangle, but not too thin so that the dough does not tear.
9. Now you need to put the first blank on top. Place it closer to one of the edges, in the middle of the others.
10. Wrap in an envelope. First, a short edge, then two side ones, and then cover everything with the remaining long part.
11. Sprinkle the plate with flour and put the envelope with the edges down. Leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, without closing anything.
12. Take the dough out of the refrigerator, roll it into a rectangle and fold it back into an envelope. Let cool for another 30 minutes.
13. Repeat the previous step one more time.

The dough is now ready to be used in recipes. If you have prepared it ahead of time, you can freeze it. It will take 1.5-2 hours to restore it.

Butteryeast dough

If you are not a fan of puff pastry, then you can easily get by with the usual one. From this cinnamon rolls will only benefit. You will need:

• fresh yeast - 70g;
• glass of water;
• spoon of sugar (for dough);
• 2 cups flour (for dough);
• 2 cups of milk;
• 175 grams of margarine;
• 2 cups of sugar;
• 3 selected eggs (or 4 pcs. 1st category);
• a bag of vanilla sugar (25 grams);
• a teaspoon of s alt;
• flour - 10 cups;
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil.

To make the sourdough, do the following:

1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water.
2. Pour in sugar.
3. Sift the flour.
4. Knead the dough in one direction.
5. Leave the mixture for 40 minutes in a warm place and cover with a towel.

Having prepared all the products and the dough, you can start preparing the dough itself:

1. Take a bigger pan and pour milk and sugar into it. Add margarine, vanilla sugar and s alt. Pour this mixture into the dough.
2. Stirring slowly, add the sifted flour. Stir strictly in one direction until a homogeneous, elastic, thick mass is formed.
3. Put on the table and finally knead.
4. Shift to a large saucepan, cover with a towel and put in a warm place for two hours.
5. Wait for the dough to rise and start cooking.

This finished preparing the ingredients. Then everything will depend solely on yourfantasy. Cinnamon rolls made from yeast dough prepared in this way will turn out lush and sweet. If necessary, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.

Oven trick

Before you start making cinnamon rolls, be sure to preheat the oven to 200 degrees. If your oven has a transparent wall and you can determine readiness without opening it, then after loading the buns inside, reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake them for the time indicated in the recipe.

If your oven is too dirty or just has too dark glass and you need to open it to check the readiness of the treat, then after each opening of the door add about 2 minutes to the total baking time. This is necessary because the temperature inside is dropping too quickly and will need time to recover.

First recipe

For this recipe, it is best to use the second type of dough. As a result, you should get typical "store-bought" cinnamon rolls:

1. Roll out the resulting piece of dough into one large "sausage".
2. Cut it into 2x4x8 cm pieces (approximate sizes).
3. Each of them must also be rolled into a "sausage", and then flattened.
4. Sprinkle the resulting long cakes with cinnamon and roll back into "sausages".
5. Now fold these tubes in a spiral into "snails".
6. Place all the blanks on a baking sheet or in a form, leaving some space between them.
7. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.

If using store-bought dough, this is the easiest cinnamon bun recipe ever. Next, we will look at a few more options for preparing this delicacy.

Second option

Next, another recipe for cinnamon buns made from yeast dough (not puff). In this case, we will prepare a delicacy using not only the specified component for the filling. What will be required?

• 20 grams of cinnamon;
• 30 grams of cocoa powder;
• 50 grams of sugar;
• 15 grams vanilla;
• 20 grams of butter.

Prepare the mixture by mixing all these ingredients except the oil and taste. If something is missing, then add it. Then you can start cooking.

1. Roll out the dough to a rectangular shape 1-1.5 centimeters thick. Try to make a figure with an aspect ratio of about 1 to 10.
2. Melt the butter, cool and brush the dough.
3. Roll the dough into a roll. Cut it into pieces 2-3 centimeters thick.
4. Place the "raw" buns on a baking sheet and let them take shape for 20 minutes.
5. Bake in the oven at about 190 degrees for half an hour. But do not forget to check their readiness.

This way you can make delicious buns with various flavors, not just cinnamon.

Syrup

Having cookedcinnamon and sugar rolls, you don't have to stop there. In addition to the basic components, you can do a lot more. For example, pour them with sugar syrup. For it you will need to do the following:

1. Take a small bowl and pour 100 grams of sugar into it.
2. Drip a teaspoon of water and mix until smooth. Add more liquid if needed.
3. After forming the mixture, heat it until caramelized.
4. Pour in another 200 milliliters of warm water.
5. Stir.

That's it. Your syrup is ready. Now you can soak the finished buns from both recipes above.

Cream and decoration

But that's not all. If you want to get cinnamon rolls that are not embarrassing to publish in a magazine, you can also make cream for them. For him you need:

• 100 grams of sour cream and curd cheese each;
• 50 grams of powdered sugar.

You just need to beat these ingredients together and pour over the rolls with the resulting mixture. You can add a little more sour cream to make the cream more liquid.

After you pour the buns, the final touch remains. Sprinkle them with one of the following:

• chocolate;
• walnut;
• colored sprinkles.

After that, they can be served.

Buns in 20 minutes

• 100 ml milk (preferably whipped cream 35%);

3. Sprinkle both sides of the dough with cinnamon.
4. Cut the dough along the long side.
5. Roll the resulting thin rectangles into rolls.

8. Roll out the cakes with a rolling pin.
9. Put the dough circles into a baking dish. Using a teaspoon, press them to the very corners and walls.
