Cinnamon roll

The earliest cinnamon rolls can be traced back to Sweden in the early 1800s. These early versions of the cinnamon roll were called kanelbullar, and they were made with a dough that was rolled out, spread with butter, and then sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before being rolled up and baked.

The cinnamon roll as we know it today, however, is thought to have originated in America. The first known recipe for cinnamon rolls appeared in an American cookbook in 1869, and the popularity of the treat continued to grow throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Today, cinnamon rolls are enjoyed all over the world, and there are endless variations on the classic recipe. Whether they’re made with a yeast dough or a quick bread dough, topped with a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze, there’s no denying that cinnamon rolls are a delicious treat!
