Baking with cinnamon in Estonian

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   The preparation of our wonderful dish will begin by slightly heating the milk (so that it becomes slightly warm), adding yeast and sugar to it. Let's leave it in a warm place for 15 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   At this time, melt the butter, add 1 yolk to it, mix. Next, add a little salt, wheat flour, milk with yeast that has come up, mix well again and knead the dough. Take a small bowl, lubricate the walls and bottom with sunflower oil, transfer the dough into it and leave for 1.5 hours.

3. Step 3:

   

   Next, add cinnamon and sugar to the melted butter. When the dough rises, roll it out into a layer no thicker than 1 cm. Smear 2/3 of the mixture of butter, cinnamon and sugar.

   Roll up. Then we turn the seam down and press it slightly so that the roll becomes a little flatter.
