How to choose the right ingredients
To get a truly flavorful dish, it is best to buy cinnamon sticks and grind them at home. However, quite often we are deceived, and in stores, instead of real spice, cassia is offered both ground and in the form of sticks.
The danger of this situation is that cassia contains coumarin. in large enough quantities that it can be harmful to human health, so it is important to understand what such a spice really looks like.
- Cinnamon sticks are thin, fragile, uniformly light brown in color, always curled on both sides.
- When purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the country of origin. This product is made in Ceylon. If the manufacturer is China, Vietnam or Indonesia, you will buy cassia.
- If you have already bought a spice, but want to be absolutely sure that it is cinnamon, drop some iodine on the surface of a stick or a small amount of powder. If the place of contact with iodine becomes deep blue, it is cassia, but if it turns slightly blue, it is a real spice.

Step-by-step recipe for yeast buns with apple and cinnamon
Now it's time for apple cinnamon rolls. These two products are used to make different types of baked goods because they go well together. I once treated my guests to this pastry and they were delighted! Here's how to cook them.
Ingredients:
- 2 apples;
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon;

4. Roll the dough into a roll and cut into equal pieces. Do the same with the other part of the dough. Grease the finished pieces with milk using a pastry brush and sprinkle with a little sugar. Place the cut side down on a baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Let's all together bake this wonderful dessert for evening tea today.
There are a huge number of recipes for cooking, some like to bake buns from puff pastry, others prefer kefir dough. However, I suggest making yeast dough with milk, because the classic cinnamon roll is made from it.
Even those who have never dealt with baked goods will not have any difficulties with baking, because the entire cooking process will be described in as much detail as possible.
Now let’s start looking at the recipe for buns made from yeast dough with cinnamon, which we will use for cooking.
Ingredients:
Dough:
1. Wheat flour – 0.5 kg;
2. Milk – 0.2 l;
3. Granulated sugar – 0.07 kg;
4. Butter – 0.05 kg;
5. Egg - 2 pcs.;
6. Yeast - 10 g;
7. Salt – 1/3 tbsp. l.;
Filling:
1. Granulated sugar – 0.1 kg;
2. Cinnamon – 0.02 kg;
3. Vanillin – 1 tbsp. l.;
4. Butter – 0.05 kg;
5. Yolk – 1 pc.;
Cooking method:
1. Pour milk heated to 40 degrees into a deep bowl.
2. Add granulated sugar, yeast, salt.
3. Add a handful of flour, stir, the consistency of the dough should resemble pancake dough.
4. Place in a warm place for a quarter of an hour, and wait until the yeast enters the active phase, the dough increases in volume, and many small bubbles appear on the surface.
5. Add eggs and melted butter. Please note that the oil is not too hot; temperatures above 50 degrees have a detrimental effect on yeast fungi. If you add very hot ingredients you can spoil the whole dough and it will stop rising.
6. Be sure to sift the flour through a fine mesh sieve. Combine it with the rest of the ingredients.
7. Knead into a plastic dough.
8. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or cling film and keep warm for 40 - 50 minutes. Knead the risen dough and let it rise again.
9. Mix granulated sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle thickly onto the greased layer of dough.
10. Melt the butter and brush the rolled out dough. Try not to leave unsmeared gaps. It is very convenient to do this with a silicone brush, but if you don’t have one, you can get by with a regular brush with natural bristles.
11. Sprinkle a cutting board with flour and roll out the dough into a layer approximately 5 - 10 mm thick.
12. Form the dough into a tight roll.
If you roll out the dough on parchment paper, it will be much easier to roll.
The parchment will act as a makeshift mat, and you can form a roll of yeast dough, just like you make sushi. As a result, the finished product will be neat and evenly dense along its entire length.
13. Cut the roll into equal pieces.
Let's start baking:
14. This set of products makes approximately 11-12 buns.
15. Grease a baking tray with butter or line it with parchment paper. Place the buns cut side up. Cover with a towel or napkin and let them sit for 30 minutes.
16. When the buns are ready, brush with egg yolk.
17. Bake cinnamon rolls for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.
To ensure that the finished products are soft and airy, cover them on top with a towel as soon as you take them out of the oven.
Sprinkle the slightly cooled pastry with powdered sugar and serve.
Bon appetit.
We hope everything worked out for you and you will use this recipe more than once.
