Cinnamon rolls (without yeast dough)

I think you can never have enough cinnamon roll recipes. I posted an overview of various cinnamon roll recipes here on the blog in 2019, with very different variations. And since then I've tried and baked even more cinnamon rolls...

Here I have a version for crispy cinnamon rolls, a recipe without yeast but with baking powder and egg. Not soft, like yeast dough rolls, rather crunchy and intensely cinnamony. It definitely tastes very good to me and was well received by my children too!

Ingredients

125 g brown sugar

500 g flour

120 g margarine

2 tsp baking soda

1 egg

1 pinch of cardamom

100 ml milk

Margarine for spreading

sugar cinnamon

Preparation

All ingredients for the dough are placed in a large bowl and kneaded.

Divide the dough into two portions.

Then roll out each portion of dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, on baking paper or similar,

...spread with margarine and sprinkle with sugar cinnamon,,,

... and then roll it up along the long side.

Then cut the roll into slices and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper...

...and bake in a preheated oven at 400 °F (200 °C) for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.

Bon appetit!
