Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake a yeast roll with cinnamon and sugar? First, prepare all the ingredients for the yeast dough. Take the highest grade flour. The butter and eggs should be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance. You can make it from store-bought yeast dough.

Step 2

Step 2
Stir sugar and yeast in warm water heated to 37-40°C. Leave for 10-15 minutes until a fluffy cap appears. If the caps still do not appear, then either the yeast is spoiled or the water is overheated. You need to make the dough again because the dough will not rise.

Step 3

Step 3
Add room temperature eggs, remaining sugar, salt to the yeast and whisk. You can beat the eggs with sugar and salt separately, and then pour in the yeast.

Step 4

Step 4
Add sifted flour in parts and knead into a soft, homogeneous, non-sticky dough. You may need more or less flour depending on how much the dough takes, so don’t rush to add all the flour at once.

Step 5

Step 5
Next, stir in the soft butter little by little. The dough should not be too oily. Therefore, less oil may be needed.

Step 6

Step 6
Form the dough into a ball, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 30-40 minutes to rise.

Now prepare the ingredients for filling and basting. The butter should also be either melted or at room temperature.

Step 8

In a bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar.

Step 9

Knead the risen dough. You can divide the dough into two equal parts and make two rolls or make one large one. Then roll out on a floured table into a rectangular layer 3-5 mm thick. Grease the dough with butter.

Step 10

Step 10
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly on top.

Step 11

Cut the roll in half lengthwise, slightly short of the edge. Intertwine the resulting strips of dough with each other.

Step 13

Step 13
Place the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet at a distance from each other and leave for 20-25 minutes to proof.

Step 14

Step 14
Before baking, brush the yeast dough roll with beaten egg. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30-40 minutes. The exact baking time depends on your oven and the thickness of the roll.

Step 15

Step 15
Cool the yeast roll with cinnamon and sugar slightly and serve. Bon appetit!
