Ingredients

How to make it

  • Zubereitung:Procedure:
  • Prepare a soft pliable dough from the flour,milk, yeast, salt, sugar and butter by hand mixing and kneading ( or mix ingredients in the breadmachine instead.)
  • When the dough is mixed be sure to let the dough rise double
  • The punch down lightly and form into one large log piece and cut out into 6 equal pieces.
  • Roll out each piece into a circle and spread with butter and sprinkle heavily with some sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll each jelly roll style and fold in half by bringing one end over the other.
  • Cut or slice into each piece veritically almost 2/3 through dough and expose and open the layers and then forming the dough into a roll
  • Tuck under and close the ends to seal.
  • Place rolls on baking rack, middle oven and bake 200C ( try 375F to 390F ) until golden and done, about 20 to 40 minutes.
  • Recipe may be be made as one large coffee cake by above method and baked accordingly.
  • Note: there were no instructions to let the formed rolls rise double so these are then baked after they are formed and will rise more in the oven during baking
  • The baked rolls have a pretty fluted look.
  • Powdered sugar may be sprinkled over the warm rolls
  • Best eaten warm when freshly made.

    6. Roll each jelly roll style and fold in half by bringing one end over the other.

    so: Just fold each piece of the roll in half by taking one end and bringing it over to the other end ( its doubled up now !!!!)



    7. Cut or slice into each piece veritically almost 2/3 through dough and expose and open all the layers and then forming the dough into a pretty layered roll

    So: While it is folded ( doubled ) in half, cut/slice almost to the bottom but not all the way, you see in the photo above all of the exposed layers from the rolling and folding. Remember when it was rolled in jelly roll style and doubled up the dough now have many layers that when you cut through with a knife, you can see all those layers!

    Hope that helps!
