Cinnabon means "cinnamon bun" in translation. The recipe for the buns was invented relatively recently, in 1985 in the USA. Now the pastry is so popular that one of the most famous and respectable printed publications, Expansion Magazine, included it in the list of 50 pleasures of life. "Cinnabon" is a real masterpiece of culinary art made of airy dough, with the most aromatic filling and almost weightless creamy fudge. It takes quite a long time to create the dessert, but it is not difficult at all.

How to cook Original Cinnabon Buns

Step 1

Prepare the dough. Pour the milk into a deep container, add 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir until the crystals dissolve. Add the crumbled yeast, stir thoroughly to avoid lumps. Cover with a towel and leave for 10 minutes. A thick foam should appear on the surface, this indicates the yeast is working.

Step 2

Knead the dough. Break the egg into a small bowl, beat it lightly, then pour it into the container with the yeast. Add salt, the remaining sugar for the dough, and vanilla. Melt the butter in a water bath or in a microwave oven and pour it into the bowl with the dough. Add the flour in portions, constantly kneading the dough thoroughly. You need to knead for at least 10 minutes so that the dough becomes elastic. Mix the resulting mass thoroughly, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour. Then knead the dough and leave it to rise again for 30-40 minutes.

Step 3

Form the buns. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of approximately 6-7 mm. Grease the surface with butter, sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Roll into a tight roll, cut into pieces 4-5 cm long. You should get about 10 buns.

Step 4

Bake the buns. Grease a baking tray with vegetable oil, place the buns on it, leaving a distance of 3-4 cm between them. Leave to rise for 20-30 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. After half an hour, put the baking tray in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Then take the Cinnabons out of the oven and let them cool down a little.

Step 5

Make the icing. Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice and milk in a deep bowl. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Then decorate the top of the slightly cooled buns with the icing.
