This cinnamon roll Christmas tree is not only delicious, but also looks stunning as part of a Christmas breakfast or brunch.
Cinnamon rolls originate from Sweden, where they are eaten during a fika. Fika is a coffee break which includes something sweet to eat.
Cinnamon rolls are deliciously soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and full of cinnamon flavour. These delicious rolls are regularly enjoyed with a drizzle of icing.
Cinnamon rolls are made from a yeasted dough which, after rising, is rolled with a rich cinnamon butter.

Heat 25g of butter with 150ml of milk until lukewarm. Add the yeast and 25g of sugar and mix until smooth. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes until it starts to foam.
Mix 300 grams of flour with a pinch of salt, then gradually add the milk mixture.
Knead into a smooth dough and cover with a clean tea towel. Let the dough rise for half an hour in a warm place, or until the dough has doubled in volume.
Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 30 cm by 40 cm.
Mix 50 grams of butter with 50 grams of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. This is best done with your hands.
Spread the dough with the butter mixture, then roll it up.
Use a sharp knife to cut slices from the roll. Place the rolls on a baking tray, lined with baking parchment, in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Make sure they are not too close together. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for another half hour.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220 degrees.
Beat an egg and brush it over the buns. Bake the cinnamon rolls for around 10 minutes, until nice and golden brown. The exact baking time depends on your oven.
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool a little, and make an icing glaze by mixing 1 tablespoon of icing sugar with half a tablespoon of water.
Spread the glaze over the cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
How long can I store cinnamon rolls?
Cinnamon rolls are best when still lukewarm, but you can store them for up to 2 days in a sealed container or bag.
Can I freeze cinnamon rolls?
You can freeze cinnamon rolls. Once defrosted, sprinkle them with a little water and reheat them in the oven.
