Cinnamon Roll

Cinnamon roll is a Swedish sweet roll made of yeast leavened dough. These delicious rolls are filled with ground  cinnamon and sugar. Baked and then coated with sugar frosting. In Sweden Cinnamon rolls are enjoyed during coffee break or Fika which means get together with friends. In America these rolls are served for breakfast or as a dessert. These simple yet delicious cinnamon rolls are my family favorite rolls. Try making them with your kids, they would love it I promise.
