Cinnamon Rolls

A cinnamon roll is a pastry which has become increasingly popular in the United States and in Northern Europe.  Commonly it is made by adding a thin layer of butter, cinnamon and sugar over a rolled sheet of yeast dough.  The dough is then rolled up and sliced into individual portions.  The portions are then baked and topped with icing (usually a cream cheese icing).  A typical cinnamon roll will range in diameter from approximately 3” to 5”.
