📝 Ingredients for Cinnamon Swirls
For the Dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast 🍞
- 1 cup warm organic milk 🥛
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar 🍬
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- 2 organic eggs 🥚
- 4 cups organic all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt 🧂
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup organic brown sugar 🍯
- 2 tablespoons ground Ceylon cinnamon 🌿
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Dough
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt.
Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. ✨
Knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1 hour). ⏳
2. Prepare the Filling
While the dough rises, mix the brown sugar and Ceylon cinnamon in a small bowl. 🌿
3. Roll and Fill
Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
Spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mix. 🧡
4. Swirl It Up
Roll up the dough tightly from the longer side, like a jelly roll. Slice into 1-inch pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 🌀
5. Second Rise
Cover the swirls loosely and let them rise again for 30 minutes. They’ll get nice and puffy! 🎈
6. Bake and Enjoy
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. 🍪
Let cool slightly, drizzle with your favorite natural frosting (find the recipe here) — and dig in!
🌿 Why Bake with Ceylon Cinnamon?
✅ Softer, sweeter, and more delicate flavor than regular cassia cinnamon
✅ Naturally low in coumarin (safer for daily use!)
✅ Grown sustainably for a healthier planet 🌍
