Cinnamon rolls are one of the symbols of autumn and winter as the temperature drops outside. The aroma filling the home immediately causes stomachs to rumble, and the youngest family members linger longingly by the oven, waiting for the pastry to come out. It's something between a classic cinnamon roll and a yeast cake, which everyone tears off piece by piece.
Upside-down cinnamon rolls
The filling is a classic combination of cinnamon, butter, and sugar. The rolls are placed in a pan coated with caramel sauce and nuts. This ensures that you get a delicious, caramelized, and slightly crispy top after baking and flipping the dough.
When cutting the cinnamon rolls for baking, it's worth using dental floss. It will quickly cut through the dough without squashing it, keeping the rolls neatly shaped.
Ingredients:
Dough:
- About 1 cup of milk
- About 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- About 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
- About 5 tablespoons of butter
- A pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
Filling:
- About 4 tablespoons of butter
- 4 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
Additional ingredients:
- Caramel sauce
- Pecans
Instructions:
Step 1. Pour the dry yeast into a bowl and mix it with warm milk. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
Step 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Knead the dough and let it rise for an hour.
Step 3. Transfer the risen dough to a counter or pastry board, dust it with flour, and roll it into a large rectangle. Add pieces of softened butter and spread it over the dough. Sprinkle with sugar mixed with cinnamon. Roll the dough into a long log.
Step 4. Using dental floss or a sharp knife, divide the dough into smaller rolls.
Step 5. Pour butter, caramel sauce, and chopped pecans into the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the prepared cinnamon rolls on top. Place in an oven preheated to 350°F for 20 minutes.
Step 6. After this time, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven, cover with a plate, and flip over. Enjoy by tearing off pieces of the rolls. Bon appétit!
