Recipe Notes

The cinnabons turned out to be a great success! I particularly enjoyed the soft and airy texture of the dough. Next time, I'll make twice as much cream to complement them perfectly.

Remember, every oven is unique, so the temperature and cooking time may vary from the recipe guidelines.

Before using eggs, be sure to wash them thoroughly, as even seemingly clean shells may harbor harmful bacteria. It's best to use food-safe detergents and a brush for this purpose.
