In a few minutes we're going for dinner with a lovely Bulgarian family, so I thought I'd make the dessert. I've been thinking about trying cinnamon buns ever since I read Kanelbullar post, but I only got to them today. I mostly followed the recipe, except that I made about 1/6 of the size, used the egg for the dough, replaced the dried yeast with fresh yeast and I also used raisin instead of topping the rolls with sugar. Now, I somewhat regret the choice, as their shape got a bit all "over the place" or in other words, they popped too much. However, I'm also conflicted by the very pleasing taste they create. Next time, I think I'll just cut the raisin in very small pieces... maybe that'll work. In any case, I'm sure they'll be savored. :)
By the way they look; I wouldn't regret a single thing. I really like the way they 'pop'! It's like they're screaming to jump into my mouth...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eva! :) You have a point. I guess I try to control things too much.
DeleteФантастични са, мари! Взимам си едно за закуска. Поздрави с пожелания за чудесен уикенд! :)
ReplyDeleteБлагодаря, Ева! Надявам се и твоите почивни дни да са били весели и да са те заредили с много положителна енергия за новата седмица! :)
DeleteHi Marie - I think if you cut the raisins into really small pieces they might get too crisp and burn in the oven, maybe, and then that wouldn't be so nice to eat. They look just fine as they are - it's always fun to see other peoples' cinnamon bun recipes - I bet these were delicious :)

Oh, good point, Charles! It was fun making yours... very easy to work with the dough, especially rolling it out. We were all delighted with the taste. So, thank you for sharing the recipe! :)
