Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For ring:
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon (half of a 3-inch stick)
1/2 recipe croissant dough (1 lb 6 oz), chilled
1 large egg, beaten
For streusel topping:
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) frozen unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Special Equipment
parchment paper, a ruler, a pastry brush, a garbage bag (unscented)

Steps:

  • Prepare ring:
  • Butter a 24-centimeter (about 9-inch) springform pan and line with a round of parchment paper. Butter paper and remove side of pan.
  • Stir together sugars and cinnamon.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as necessary, into a 24- by 9-inch rectangle. Brush off excess flour with pastry brush and trim edges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
  • Arrange dough so that a long side is nearest you and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over dough, leaving a 1-inch border along bottom edge. Brush border with some beaten egg and chill remaining egg. Fold top edge of dough over about 1 inch. Using both hands, roll dough toward you: Use your thumbs to tuck dough under and tighten as you go, working your way down entire length of log (as when rolling up a poster), and gently rock dough back and forth to keep it taut and even. When finished, roll log back and forth over seam to seal.
  • Transfer log, seam side down, to bottom of springform pan, bringing both ends of log together to make a ring. Beginning 2 inches from where ends meet, make vertical cuts from outside of ring toward center at 2-inch intervals, cutting halfway through ring.
  • Let ring rise:
  • Attach side of pan and slide pan into garbage bag, propping up top of bag with inverted glasses to keep it from touching dough, then tuck open end under pan. Let ring rise until slightly puffy and spongy to the touch, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Make streusel while ring is rising:
  • Blend flour and sugar in a food processor. Add frozen butter and pulse until very finely chopped. Chill streusel until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Gently brush top and center of ring with some of remaining beaten egg, then sprinkle with streusel. Bake in middle of oven until top is browned and streusel is crisp, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edge to loosen and remove side of pan.

CINNAMON RING



Cinnamon Ring image

Better than any store bought cinnamon buns you will ever buy!!Easy to make and out of this world taste.

Provided by evelync

Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield 1 cinnamon ring, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 loaves frozen bread dough (must use store bought frozen bread dough not pizza dough.)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons maraschino cherries, cut in half
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Allow dough to thaw.
  • In Bunt or large square pan add 2 T melted butter.
  • Stir in brown sugar.
  • Srinkle with raisins and cherries.
  • Cut each loaf into 6 pieces-12 pieces in total.
  • Dip into melted butter and roll in sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  • Place in bunt or large pan.
  • allow doughballs to rise till double in size (You must allow the dough to double in volume before baking.Well worth the time and effort.).
  • Bake in 350 oven for about 25 minutes or till golden.
  • Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Invert onto plate.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough to rise properly.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the cinnamon rings their chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the flakier the cinnamon rings will be. Roll the dough out to a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar: This will give the cinnamon rings their classic flavor. Be sure to use a generous amount of cinnamon sugar.
  • Roll up the dough tightly and slice it into rings: Roll up the dough jelly-roll style, starting from the long edge. Pinch the seam to seal it, then slice the roll into 1-inch thick rings.
  • Place the cinnamon rings on a greased baking sheet: Leave some space between the rings so that they have room to rise.
  • Let the cinnamon rings rise again: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and let the cinnamon rings rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the cinnamon rings: Bake the cinnamon rings in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Glaze the cinnamon rings (optional): While the cinnamon rings are still warm, brush them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. This will give the cinnamon rings a shiny glaze and a little extra sweetness.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon rings are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make these delicious pastries that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cinnamon rings a try. You won't be disappointed.
