cinnamon roll
A soft, milk-enriched spiral roll layered with brown sugar and cinnamon and finished with a light vanilla icing.
About cinnamon roll
Cinnamon rolls are sweet yeast-raised spiral buns. This profile follows King Arthur Baking's American-style pillowy version with a milk-enriched dough, cinnamon-brown-sugar filling and vanilla icing.
Brown sugar gives the filling a mellow molasses depth, cinnamon supplies fragrant warmth, and butter and milk round the dough and icing with rich dairy notes.
Each roll is tall, pale-golden and visibly coiled, with a tender, soft crumb around darker cinnamon ribbons and a smooth white icing over the top.
