CINNA-BUN CAKE IN THE OVEN

This is a good cinnamon roll recipe. Here’s a trick for cutting the rolls without mashing the dough: take a piece of thread, slide it under the roll, cross the thread and pull quickly.

These cinnamon buns are THE BEST EVER!!! I loved them so much, just a tip: the longer you let them rise, the fluffier and better they taste!!

I am a lucky baker, meaning I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time, but it usually works out pretty well in the end. When I made these for a dinner party I was having – I was a little worried – but they turned out well.

The best!! I come from a long line of bakers.. this is great! I used half whole wheat flour…incredible. To easily cut the dough, use dental floss. Slide it under the end, cross the dental floss at the top and pull. Perfect cuts every time!

This buns are yummy! They taste like the Cinna-Buns. They are one of those treats you do only a couple of times a year because they are not the healthiest thing but flavor-wise they are awesome.
