They’re like a mini cinnamon roll but lighter, simpler, and perfect for sharing. This recipe will guide you step by step, from preparing the dough to baking golden, caramelized spirals.


Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  1. Pour the warm milk into a small bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar over the milk.
  3. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This ensures your yeast is active and ready to make the dough rise.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.
  3. Mix until a sticky dough forms. You can use a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Tip: The dough should be soft but not overly sticky. If needed, sprinkle a little flour while kneading.


Step 3: First Rise

  1. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  2. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
