Cinnamon rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a delicious and popular baked good consisting of a sweet and fluffy dough rolled with an aromatic mixture of cinnamon and sugar, often accompanied by butter and, in some recipes, nuts or raisins. They are baked until golden brown on the outside with a soft and juicy interior, ideal for breakfast, a snack, or as a homemade dessert.

Their origin dates back to the culinary tradition of Scandinavia, especially in countries like Sweden and Denmark, where they are known as "kanelbullar". Over time, this delight has become popular worldwide, adapting to different cultures and regions, especially in Latin America.

Cinnamon rolls are rich in carbohydrates from flour and sugar, providing quick energy. Cinnamon offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to helping regulate blood sugar, although its nutritional contribution is moderate due to the amount used. It is an ingredient that provides intense flavor and aroma, transforming a simple dough into a comforting culinary experience.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, cinnamon rolls may also be known as rollos de canela, rollitos de canela, rollos dulces de canela, or even panecillos de canela, depending on local variations and the final texture of the product.

They are an ideal ingredient to incorporate into recipes that seek to combine the softness of sweet bread with the characteristic warm flavor of cinnamon, perfect to accompany with coffee, tea, or milk.
