Day 8 of the 12 Days of Cinnamon Rolls



On the eighth day of cinnamon rolls, my true love

Eight Cooking Classes

I've had so much fun this year rolling right along with
people who really get into cinnamon rolls
at cooking classes.


Here you see cinnamon roll filling, portioned out for a hands-on class.


And here you see the excellent job people did with rolling their cinnamon rugelach.

Cook's Warehouse and more for a very fun year!

On the seventh day of cinnamon rolls, my true love

Seven Swirls of Schnecken




Schnecken is basically a loaf of cinnamon rolls, baked in a pan sauce of butter and sugar, then inverted onto a serving platter to slice and enjoy.

Six Gluten-Free


Here you see the gluten-free rolls right before baking.

These rolls require a different shaping method (on an oiled flexible cutting board)
 as the dough is more soft and batter-like.  



In this photo, I'm using a dough scraper to roll the dough over onto itself 
and the cinnamon  filling.

Easy and delicious for all the gluten-free people in your life!


On the fifth day of cinnamon rolls, my true love

On the fourth day of cinnamon rolls, my true love gave to me. . .

Four Falling Pears

Okay, this is a bit of a stretch, but fresh pears layered on top of
a cinnamon roll filling--or used in place of apples to make
Pear Tarte Tatin Cinnamon Rolls--can be fabulous.






On the third day of cinnamon rolls, my true love gave to me . . . .

Three French Gems
(a buttery, flaky, croissant-like cinnamon roll)


They start with a sweet yeast dough, then get a butter and flour layer.


You fold the dough over the filling, then turn and roll the butter layers in several times to achieve a "laminated" or Danish pastry, like a croissant dough.



After you cut the individual rolls, you use the handle of a wooden spoon to squish them so the filling comes out the sides. Brush with egg wash.


For an authentic European finish, sprinkle pearl sugar (or coarsely chopped sugar cubes) on top of each roll.


C'est si bon! Croissant meets cinnamon roll!



On the second day of cinnamon rolls, my true love gave to me. . . .
