The first cinnamon rolls made from puff pastry (which looked very much like French croissants) date back to the Napoleonic Wars. They appeared in the German city of Hamburg. The Germans, who took the French delicacy as a basis, made their own buns, which were served for breakfast in those days.
Nowadays, such buns have become traditional in the morning diet of not only Germans, but also other nations.
The traditional recipe for puff pastry buns includes not only cinnamon, but also the addition of:

Fragrant, sweet puff pastries with cinnamon and nuts are an excellent option for a quick-to-prepare, spectacular dessert with a minimum number of ingredients.
Made with ready-made flaky yeast dough, a small amount of nuts, butter, cinnamon and sugar, and topped with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, the scones are incredibly indulgent, slightly crispy, aromatic and incredibly delicious. And most importantly, the entire process of preparing this tempting delicacy takes only a few minutes. A great option for simple and delicious homemade baked goods that will decorate any tea party. Try it!
To make puff pastry cinnamon rolls, you will need the ingredients listed.
Melt and cool the butter slightly. Add cinnamon and sugar to the butter. Stir thoroughly and cool the mixture slightly until the oil completely cools and the mixture thickens slightly. You should end up with a moist, paste-like mass that resembles wet sand. In this form, the filling adheres well to the surface of the dough and does not crumble during further work with the dough and formation of buns.
Place the thawed puff pastry dough on a floured work surface and roll out to a thickness of 2-3mm into a rectangle. For ease of work, I cut the dough into two equal parts (250 g each) and work with them alternately, placing the second half of the dough in the refrigerator for a while.
Brush the dough with the prepared mixture of butter, cinnamon and sugar, leaving a few centimeters from the right vertical edge.
Sprinkle the filling with pieces of toasted, finely chopped walnuts.
Moving from the left vertical edge of the dough to the right, roll the dough along the long side into a tight log.
Cut the resulting roll into pieces 4-5 centimeters wide.
Grease a baking dish with a thin layer of butter. Lightly knead the roll pieces into a round shape and gently push the center of each piece up a little (like a rosebud). Place the resulting blanks in the mold vertically, leaving a little free space between them - during baking, the buns will increase in size.
Place the puff pastry cinnamon rolls in an oven preheated to 175-180 degrees and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
A few minutes before the buns are ready, prepare the glaze. Measure powdered sugar into a small container, add a few drops of vanilla essence or 1 pinch of vanilla if desired, and then pour in 2 tbsp. hot milk. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous. If the glaze is too thick, add another 0.5-1 tbsp. milk, too liquid - a little more powdered sugar.
Drizzle glaze over hot buns, cool slightly and serve.
Puff pastry cinnamon rolls are ready.
Warm, aromatic, tender and incredibly tasty. All these epithets can be attributed exclusively to one type of baked goods - cinnamon rolls. Many people love them, but for some reason they don’t want to cook them themselves. They probably think that it is very difficult to prepare this delicious miracle at home. Nothing like this. Cinnamon sugar buns are no more difficult to make than regular pies. And they can be made from almost any dough.
How to Make Fluffy Cinnamon Roll Dough
1
. The first step is to prepare the yeast base of the dough. Pour warm water into a glass, add sugar, stir, add dry yeast, stir and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. During this time, the yeast will increase in volume and a fluffy cap will form.
2
. Heat kefir in the microwave to the temperature of fresh milk (20-30 seconds). Pour into the mixing bowl.
3
. Add vegetable oil; it should not be cold either.
4
. Beat in the egg (don't forget to wash the shell). Sugar and salt.
5
. Next, pour in the fluffy yeast mixture.
6
. Mix.
7
. Add flour and knead the dough for future cinnamon rolls.
8
. Add flour until the dough stops sticking to your hands (barely - barely stops sticking, that is, it should remain very tender). Cover the cup with cling film and leave at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours.
9
. During this time, the dough will rise, possibly several times (depending on the quality of the yeast). Just press it a little right through the film.
How to Shape Cinnamon Rolls
1
. Roll out a thin (0.5 cm thick) layer of dough into a rectangular shape.
2
. Grease the top with vegetable oil. Then sprinkle with sugar (approximately a handful, scatter evenly), then sprinkle with cinnamon (powder).
3
. Now lift one edge of the dough and put the filling inside, leaving 1/3 of the layer open.
4
. On top, grease the empty portion of the dough with vegetable oil, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
5
. Fold the left edge of the dough over, covering the middle.
6
. Cut strips 2-3 cm wide.
7
. We twist the puff ribbon.
8
. Holding one end in your left hand, wrap the right end around the fingers of your left hand.
9
. And pass the end of the tape, which you hold in your right hand, into the hole (where your fingers are now) from bottom to top. You will get a kind of knot.
10
. Place the finished cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the buns for about 30 minutes, until a beautiful blush appears, enjoying the aroma of cinnamon.

Classic yeast dough recipe
This is perhaps the easiest way to make cinnamon rolls at home. For it you will need:
- flour – 500 g;
- milk – 250-300 ml;
- butter – 85-100 g;
- sugar – 120-150 g;
- dry yeast – 1 package;
- cinnamon - to taste.
First you need to heat the milk, add 3-4 teaspoons of sugar and dry yeast. Stir the mixture and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. When the yeast begins to actively foam, place it in a bowl for kneading dough, pour in the melted butter, break the egg and mix well. After this, you can pour flour into a bowl and knead the dough. The resulting product must be wrapped and placed in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours.
When the dough has risen, knead it and divide it into 4 parts. Now you need to roll out the first bun, lightly grease it with melted butter and sprinkle generously with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Place the second rolled out bun on top and cover with the cinnamon-sugar filling again. Do the same with the remaining two koloboks.
The resulting stack can be rolled into rolls and cut into several equal parts, or you can simply cut it into 8 triangles. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet and place in the oven for half an hour. The baking temperature should be approximately 180-185°C. The finished buns can be sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.
Cinnamon rolls with frosting
But who said that you can only cook according to the classic recipe? Buns prepared according to the recipe below are no less tasty than classic ones. For them you will need to get out of the bins:
- flour – 0.5 kg;
- vegetable oil – 90 g;
- dry yeast – 1 sachet;
- eggs – 2 pcs.;
- sugar – 150 g;
- milk – 250 ml;
- cinnamon – 1-2 tablespoons;
- starch - 2 tablespoons;
- butter – 130 g;
- cream – 50 ml;
- powdered sugar – 1 tablespoon;
- vanilla liqueur or essence – 5 ml;
- salt - to taste.
Heat the milk a little, add vegetable oil and mix thoroughly. Beat one of the eggs along with two tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Pour flour and yeast into a bowl, pour in milk and egg mixture. Knead the dough. Flour can be added until the dough stops sticking to your hands. The finished product must be left warm for an hour to rise. To make the dough rise faster, you can cover the bowl with a towel soaked in hot water and wrung out and place it in the oven, preheated to 45-50°C for half an hour.
For the filling, you need to grind approximately 75 g of softened butter with 50 g of flour, 100 g of sugar, starch and cinnamon. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangular shape and grease with vegetable oil. Distribute the prepared filling over the entire surface, roll the layer into a roll and cut into pieces 5-6 cm wide. Place the buns on a baking sheet and forget about them for 20 minutes. Then brush them with egg on top and put them in the oven for half an hour. The optimal temperature is 180-200°C.
For the glaze, melt 25-30 g of butter, add vanilla liqueur and powdered sugar, pour in the cream and beat the mixture thoroughly. The resulting mixture should be greased on the still hot buns.
Cinnamon Rolls
Wonderful cinnamon rolls are made not only from yeast dough, but also from puff pastry. It doesn't take that long to tinker with them. The only caveat is that it is better to prepare the dough for such baking the day before. By the way, it can be made several times at once, since puff pastry is perfectly stored in the refrigerator. So, for such baking you need to take:
- flour – 300 g (2 cups);
- butter or creamy margarine – 300 g (250 g for dough and 50 g for filling);
- water – 130 ml;
- ground cinnamon – 1-2 bags;
- sugar – 100 g;
- milk – 50 ml.
Cut the butter for the dough into small pieces with a knife and mix with flour. Then, on a flat surface, chop the resulting mixture into crumbs with a knife. After this, make a depression in the middle of the butter-flour mixture, pour water into it and knead the dough. You shouldn’t knead for too long; it’s enough to get a more or less homogeneous mass. Wrap the resulting dough in a bag or film and put it in the refrigerator for several hours, or better yet, overnight.
Then everything is similar to the previous options. First you need to prepare the filling, i.e. Grind butter with sugar. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it into a rectangular layer. Sprinkle it with cinnamon and brush with a mixture of butter and sugar. Roll the workpiece into a roll and cut into equal parts. Bake for about half an hour at 180°C.
Apple and cinnamon buns
This sweet delicacy is best prepared not just from puff pastry, but from puff-yeast dough. It can also be purchased ready-made, or you can knead it with your own hands. Moreover, the principle of the process is almost identical to the preparation of a regular puff pastry product. To serve delicious apple and cinnamon buns you need to prepare:
- flour – 450-500 g (3 cups);
- yeast – 1 sachet;
- water – 85 ml;
- milk – 135 ml;
- butter – 200 g;
- sugar – 3 teaspoons;
- egg – 1 pc.;
- salt – 1 teaspoon;
- apples – 2-3 pcs.;
- sugar, vanilla, cinnamon - for filling.
Dilute the tremors and 1 spoon of sugar in warm water and leave to “come to life” for 15-20 minutes, then mix thoroughly. Sift the flour and mix with two tablespoons of sugar and salt. Finely chop the butter or grate it on a shredder and mix with flour. Chop the resulting mixture again with a knife or rub it with your hands to form crumbs. Form a slide from the resulting mass and make a depression in the middle.
Beat the egg into the revived yeast and carefully pour in the warm milk. Stir the mixture, pour into the well of the flour slide and knead the dough. Wrap the resulting product in film or a bag and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Boil a glass of water, add 80-100 g of sugar and vanilla. Bring to a boil again. Cut the apples into thin slices and dip into syrup. You don’t need to cook for long – about 1-2 minutes. Then remove the apple slices from the syrup with a slotted spoon and place in a colander to drain off excess liquid.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it into a thin layer. Cut it into strips 3 cm wide. Place apple slices on each, sprinkle with cinnamon and roll into a roll. Place the resulting buns on a baking sheet and let stand for 15-20 minutes, then bake in the oven at 180°C for half an hour. The finished buns can be sprinkled with powdered sugar if desired.
Cinnamon rolls “A la Cinnabon”
In general, Cinnabon is not so much a cinnamon bun as a chain of bakeries. This brand appeared relatively recently - in 1985, in Seattle. And they serve not only buns and coffee. But it was the cinnamon rolls, topped with a special sauce, that became the signature dish of the bakery cafe. Now Cinnabon is the most famous baked goods with cinnamon.
Of course, you won’t be able to make real Cinnabon at home. And it's not about the complexity of the technology. It’s just that the authors strictly preserve their signature recipe, and especially the method of preparing the famous cream sauce. However, 90 percent of the secret has already been solved. So now every housewife can cook a la Cinnabons in her own kitchen.
It’s worth warning right away: this dish is very high in calories, so young ladies who are watching their figure should better exclude this delicacy from their diet. The rest need to prepare the following products:
- flour – 750-800 g;
- milk – 250 ml;
- eggs – 3 pcs.;
- butter – 210 g;
- sugar – 100 g for dough and 200 g for filling;
- yeast – 1 sachet;
- vegetable oil – 2 tablespoons;
- vanillin – 1 sachet;
- cinnamon – 4-5 tablespoons;
- curd cheese – 100-150 g (Philadelphia or Almette is best);
- powdered sugar – 150 g;
- salt – 1 pinch.
Heat the milk slightly (38-40°C), dissolve yeast and a tablespoon of sugar in it. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes for the yeast to come to life. Beat eggs with half a glass of sugar and pour into milk, add a third of softened butter, salt, vanillin and vegetable oil. Mix everything well. Add flour and knead the dough, which then needs to be wrapped and left for an hour in a warm place.
The dough should be rolled out into a thin square layer, greased with the second third of softened butter and sprinkled generously with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the layer into a tight roll and cut into pieces about 4 cm wide.
Place the resulting buns on a baking sheet lined with foil and let them stand for 15 minutes, then put them in an oven preheated to 180-200°C and bake until they acquire a light golden hue (about 30-40 minutes). The times are, of course, relative. It is advisable to monitor the baking to prevent the flour products from drying out.
Now it's time to start making the pastry sauce. To do this, you just need to mix the cheese, powdered sugar and the remaining third of the butter. Cover the still warm buns with the finished mixture and... you can serve them to the table.
Little tricks
There are no super secrets in making cinnamon rolls. But you can still give some recommendations, for example:
- For cinnamon rolls, you need to use only wheat flour and always the highest grade. Before use, the product must be sifted through a sieve. And it’s better a couple of times. This will saturate the flour with oxygen, and the baked goods will be more airy;
- You can use absolutely any yeast for the dough, i.e. both dry and pressed, whichever is more convenient for you. However, in any case, before preparing the dough, they must be activated in warm water (38-42°C) with sugar. This process is short in time and takes approximately 15-20 minutes. But in this case the dough will definitely rise;
- Cinnamon roll dough must contain fat. The options can be very different: butter or vegetable oil, margarine and even sour cream. When using butter or margarine, they must first be softened, or better yet, melted and cooled to room temperature. The exception is puff pastry. There’s no point in melting the butter here;
- if you are afraid that your own dough will not work out or you simply don’t have time to prepare it, then you can buy a store-bought version of this product. However, it is necessary to ensure that the dough is fresh and contains only natural and high-quality products;
- cinnamon can be put not only in the filling. To make the buns even more flavorful, you can add a little spice directly to the dough. But the amount of cinnamon can be very different. It all depends on the preferences of the hostess and her family members.
