Cinnamon_bun

A Swedish "kanelbulle".

A \'loaf\' of raw cinnamon roll dough being cut into individual rolls prior to being cooked.

A cinnamon roll (also cinnamon buns and cinnamon swirls) is a type of pastry found commonly in North America and Northern Europe. The cinnamon roll was originally invented in Sweden where it takes the name kanelbulle (literally: "cinnamon bun"). It consists of a rolled sheet of yeast dough onto which a cinnamon and brown sugar mixture (and raisins in some cases) is sprinkled over a thin coat of melted butter. The dough is then rolled, cut into individual portions, and baked. Cinnamon rolls are frequently topped with icing (often confectioner\'s sugar based) or glaze of some sort, or (most common in northern Europe) nib sugar. The size of a cinnamon roll varies from place to place, but many vendors supply a smaller size about 5cm in diameter and a larger size about 10cm to a side. National brands include Cinnzeo in Canada and Cinnabon in the United States.
