Express Cinnamon Buns without Yeast – Notes
My daughter doesn’t like yeast cakes, and whenever I bake cinnamon buns, she walks around sniffing them but doesn’t eat them because she doesn’t like the dough itself. That’s why I came up with no-yeast cinnamon buns. The dough is more similar to a semi-shortcrust pastry and can be nicely rolled out and coiled. I prepared the cinnamon filling just like for traditional cinnamon buns, and added a sweet glaze on top. I got very appetizing buns that stay fresh better than yeast buns, and even after a few days, they were just as good as on the day they were baked. Be sure to try this recipe, and you can also save the recipe for later on my Instagram profile, or on my Pinterest :)
What ingredients are needed for quick cinnamon buns?
The most important thing is to replace yeast with baking powder – use 2 teaspoons of it so that the buns rise and puff up. Overall, these buns won’t be as soft and fluffy as yeast buns, because it’s a completely different dough. But they are aromatic, stay fresh for a long time, and don’t harden. And what else is needed for the buns besides baking powder?
- sugar – I added only a small amount to the dough itself, just 50g of sugar; all the sweetness comes from the filling and the icing. For the filling, I used regular white sugar, but you can also use brown sugar. For the icing, you will need powdered sugar. With it, the rolls are already sweeter. If you prefer less sweet rolls, you can sprinkle the top of the rolls with just a little powdered sugar instead of icing.
- butter – I used extra butter with 82% fat content, but you can also use a butter blend or even vegetable baking butter.
- heavy cream – I prepared the icing with 30% cream, as it makes a thicker icing; instead, you can use regular milk or even water.
How to store quick cinnamon rolls?
Rolls that are not eaten on the day of baking should be transferred to an airtight container with a lid to prevent them from drying out. This will help them stay fresh for a long time. You can also freeze cinnamon rolls for about 3 months.
