Cinnamon rolls | German Franzbrötchen

This post is also available in german/deutsch.Soft, cinnamony and incredibly addictive. I love these small yeast pastries. German cinnamon buns alias Franzbrötchen! A Hamburg specialty. They are similar to cinnamon rolls, but at the end the dough rolls are brought to their typical shape with a handle of a wooden spoon.

They are quite simple. The wooden spoon should have space left and right. Then they get a nice shape. You can make the Franzbrötchen also with coconut sugar, is not the original, but it tasted delicious. If you are not vegan, you can spread the buns with a beaten egg instead of butter.

Roll the dough from the long side and cut the roll into 8-9 pieces.
