Sometimes we need something indulgent for moments in our lives that require sweetness. “CINNABON”…..A Cinnamon roll café franchise…..a nostalgic memory back in Qatar. It was a new fusion of bot taste and smell.
The cinnamon roll does not require a lot of ingredients, but it requires patience and dedication to get the true recipe to the tip of your tongue. This is a wonderful brunch snack if you’re entertaining guests any time throughout the year.
The Even Spread
After you let the dough rise in a greased covered bowl until it is double in size, you’re ready to roll the cinnamon rolls. Evenly roll the dough tightly in a long swiss roll.
Proofing the Rolls
Once tightly rolled, slightly slice them into equal-sized rolls.
Bake till Perfection
Bake the rolls until the top is lightly golden. After the homemade cinnamon rolls have baked, it’s time to frost them.
