When serving, the buns are ideally combined with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. True, you should not get too carried away with buns and sweet drinks, since the dessert is too high-calorie. So experiments are more relevant in the morning, or at least in the afternoon.
Still, fragrant air cinnamon buns "Sinabon" is an amazing confectionery composition. No wonder they are included in the list of the most important pleasures of life according to one of the most respected Mexican magazines.
What's the secret?
If consumers had access to the factory, they would clearly see that you could not make a factory roll with your own hands. Here, a strict roll spinning pattern is observed - each roll should have no more than five turns, and all cuts are made strictly perpendicular to the surface. The width and height of the buns is identical. Dessert baking in many restaurants takes place right in front of the guests, as the buns are served with hot, drenched cream sauce. To the table - straight from the oven.
The dough in this baking is yeast with a high content of gluten in flour. The classic recipe uses brown sugar and soft cream cheese. Such components can be found in the supermarket, but cinnamon will have to be content with the usual, as the original recipe uses a too unattainable option.
For top coat you can use not only cream for Sinabon rolls, but also melted chocolate or any other fruit sauce or caramel syrup. Chocolate, by the way, will successfully shade any sauce.
If you cook the traditional version, then you can use any soft cheese. Very fragrant buns "Sinabon" with "Mascarpone". This cheese is distinguished by tenderness and beauty of the shade, so that the cream as a result will get the color of baked milk. When whipping, add a portion of powdered sugar and vanilla to the cheese, as well as a pinch of salt to color the sweetness. Soft butter is added to the cream gradually. The sauce should be moderately liquid. At the end, you can add a portion of melted chocolate. If you prepare the sauce in advance, then leave it warm, otherwise the cheese will let the mass harden. It is best to keep the container next to the oven. One tablespoon of sauce is enough for each bun. By the way, you can pour the buns with melted chocolate, icing based on milk, cocoa powder and grated chocolate.
Sinabon buns from yeast dough “fly apart” very quickly, especially when they are supplemented with berry and fruit syrups, honey, crushed pecans, peanuts or walnuts. If you plan to pour the pastries with chocolate, remember that it will completely harden. Therefore, add cream and a slice of butter to the icing.
It's all about the test
Why are these buns scattered literally “like hot cakes”? Yes, because they are made from the highest quality ingredients and baked immediately before serving. The dough for Sinabon rolls is lush and airy, and thanks to the gluten in the flour, it becomes elastic and uniform. Gluten or gluten is a plant protein abundant in cereals. It is a binder. If it is not enough, then the dough does not rise well and the baking is stiff. Gluten, by the way, can be added to the dough in the finished form. For health, he is not a danger.
In fact, you can add gluten to the dough. To do this, knead the dough out of flour and water, and then rinse the lump under water. This is the gluten that needs to be added to the bun dough. By the way, Sinabon buns made of puff pastry are the most tender. The mass, however, has to be rolled out many times and added more oil during the kneading process. However, in the end, it is more magnificent with a characteristic unobtrusive sourness and its own pleasant aroma.
For cooking you will need:
- three glasses of flour;
- a glass of fat milk;
- bag of dry yeast;
- a pack of butter;

Grate the butter and add it to the flour. Drive the egg into the yeast and introduce warm milk. Mix everything and combine with flour crumbs. Now you can knead soft plastic dough, wrap it in cling film and send for a couple of hours in the refrigerator.

- two tablespoons of cocoa;
- a quarter packet of butter.
