  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (4 g) salt

🍯 Filling:

  • 1/3 cup (80 g) softened butter
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) sugar
  • 1–2 Tbsp ground cinnamon (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped walnuts

🍥 Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 Tbsp (45 g) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 Tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions & Method

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine lukewarm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it rest for about 10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  2. Add egg, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Mix until creamy.
  3. Add chopped walnuts and stir to combine.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls

  1. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 15×10 inches).
  2. Spread the cinnamon-walnut filling evenly across the dough.
  3. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  4. Cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  5. Place rolls in a greased baking pan (9×13 inch), leaving space between them.
  6. Cover and let them rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  3. Allow them to cool slightly before frosting.

Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  3. If needed, add milk a tablespoon at a time for a smoother texture.
  4. Spread the frosting over the warm rolls and watch it melt into the layers!

📜 History

Cinnamon rolls, known as kanelbullar in Sweden, trace back to Northern Europe in the 1920s. These sweet buns were first made popular by Scandinavian bakers who prized warm spices like cinnamon during cold winters. The addition of walnuts gives this version an American twist — inspired by Southern pecan rolls and nut-filled pastries. Over time, the combination of cinnamon, nuts, and cream cheese frosting became a beloved bakery classic worldwide.

🌿 Benefits

  • Walnuts provide healthy omega-3 fats and antioxidants.
  • Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and adds natural warmth.
  • Homemade dough ensures no preservatives — just soft, real goodness.
  • Cream cheese adds calcium and protein, balancing the sweetness.

🧩 Formation

Each roll forms through gentle layering — a rolled dough spiral hugging the cinnamon-walnut mixture. As it bakes, the butter melts through the layers, creating fluffy, moist, and caramelized edges that capture all the flavor in every bite.

🥰 For the Lovers

These rolls aren’t just food — they’re a gesture of love. Bake them for family on a lazy Sunday, share them with friends during coffee breaks, or surprise your special someone with breakfast in bed. Warm, soft, and sweet — just like love itself.
