Cinnamon Roll Wreath

Recipe Description

Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite breakfast treats ever and I am always thinking of different ways to serve them! This Cinnamon Roll Wreath is warm and fluffy with a sticky cinnamon filling.

To make this, start by making milk dough. Once the dough rises, transfer it to a baking pan and shape it into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Roll the dough into a log and cut into 20 1-inch rolls. Shape into a wreath and leave to rise. Once puffy, bake in the oven until golden brown. Leave to cool before drizzling with icing. Enjoy!

To make Cinnamon Roll Wreath, you will need the following ingredients:

    3 min
    Step 4 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Beat in ½ cup of softened butter on low speed, until it is slightly broken up. It will remain lumpy, but don’t worry.

  7. 7

    Leave to rise

    2h
    Step 7 - Cinnamon Roll WreathStep 7 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Remove the dough from the mixer and place on a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to knead the dough for 1 minute. Shape the dough into a ball. Transfer it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 - 2 hours until it doubles in size.

  8. 8

    Prepare a baking pan

    1 min
    Step 8 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Line a large baking pan with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour.

  9. 9

    Shape dough

    5 min
    Step 9 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Place the dough on the baking pan and pat down with floured hands to roughly form a 10×20-inch rectangle.

  10. 10

    Make filling

    5 min
    Step 10 - Cinnamon Roll WreathStep 10 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Spread 6 tablespoons of softened butter all over the dough. Toss 1½ tablespoons of cinnamon and ½ cup of sugar together until combined. Sprinkle over the buttered dough evenly.

    5 min
    Step 11 - Cinnamon Roll WreathStep 11 - Cinnamon Roll WreathStep 11 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Roll up the dough tightly to form a 20-inch log. Slice the log into 20 1-inch rolls. Be careful you only slice ¾ of the way through so that the rolls are still connected at the bottom.

  12. 12

    Shape wreath

    5 min
    Step 12 - Cinnamon Roll Wreath

    Turn one of the end rolls on its side. Turn the next one so that it slightly overlaps the first. Repeat to form a circle and overlap alternate rolls. Place a ramekin in the center of the wreath to help it hold its shape.

  13. 13

    Leave wreath to rise

    60 min
