Warm pillow like soft bread with a spiral filling of an indulgently gooey cinnamon spiced butter, with a contrasting bittersweet undertone from the sugar that has now caramelized in the oven, all of which is adorned with a chilled zesty cream cheese frosting that is melting over the cloud like warm buns in slow motion of course.
Making bread always daunted me in culinary school. While learning from the masters I had this intimidation yet fasciation towards yeast. As time progressed and the urge to bake bread increased I realized that I needed to understand it better and be patient. With time I gained insight on one very important fact.
To make delicious yeasted bread you need patience above all ingredients and equipment. You cannot be hasty and rush the process; it just won’t yield the desired outcome. So, here I am giving out the golden rule advice that I learned the hard way.
First of, are they Cinnamon Buns or Cinnamon Rolls? They mean the same thing and ingredients wise there is no difference between them. The difference arises on how you do the 2nd proofing. If you proof your buns in a baking tray where they grow into each other harmoniously and while baking they become one big happy family that you need to pull apart later, then they are Cinnamon Buns. However if you proof and bake them in a muffin tray/cupcake tray they bake independently, soring high and standing tall and beautiful, then they are considered to be Cinnamon rolls. Whatever connotation you use, doesn’t matter, as they taste extraordinary.
Cinnamon buns/rolls always intrigued me as the spirals seemed hypnotic almost with a heady cinnamon aroma bombarding the air with all its might. Even though the recipe uses only 30gm of cinnamon powder, which might seem like a little but in reality it is plenty. On the note of cinnamon, something happens to it when it bakes that the entire house begins to smell of a little bakery set on the stone concrete pavement along side a few flourishing Crepe Myrtles. It brightens up the senses and starts tickling your taste buds without actually eating!
These cinnamon buns are fool proof to the point I have made it in the middle of the night and it worked out perfect. Once you understand the concept of letting the ingredients do their job, the entire process will become very easy to follow and the outcome highly delicious. Happy Baking!
