Preparation method
Prep: 1 hour 30 mins | Cook: 30 mins1.
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 7 tablespoons sugar in warm water. Stir in salt and half of the flour. Beat mixture for 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and oil. Stir in the remaining flour, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
2.
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together remaining sugar and 1 dessertspoon cinnamon; set aside.
3.
Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces. Take each piece of dough, roll into a log and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Then roll up the log into a pinwheel. Place the pinwheels in a lightly greased 23x33 cm (9x13 in) baking tin. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4.
4.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until golden.
Tip:
For a delicious addition, add sultanas to the cinnamon and sugar mixture just before you make the dough into pinwheels.

Easy
abso LOVED this recipe, easy to make, and they tasted AWESOME!!!! Made this for my family and they found it so good they asked for this recipe. The only change i did was to add a tiny bit less salt, because i have had experiences before when a recipe has told me to add a lot of salt, and the cakes were disgusting. These ones were A to the M to the A to the ZING!!!!

Challenging
I found this mix very wet so unable to knead at all. Due to stickiness then wasn't able to roll out to add cinnamon sugar. I cobbled it by making to cinnamon loaves instead.
Probably wont make this recipe again but would find a different one.

Challenging
I should have read the reviews before trying this recipe. Mixture far too sloppy so there is far too much water in the ingredients

Moderately easy
I followed ingredients and method exactly. Turned out lovely! I may have added slightly more cinnamon but that's because I love it so much! I just rolled it into one big oblong, spread the sugar/cinnamon on, rolled it up, sliced it approx 2-3in thick and popped them into a greased dish to rise again before cooking.
I'd love to know if the dough is freezable after the first rise...
Thank you for this recipe!

Not a great recipe, ingredient measurements are wrong. It needs less water and more flour.

Easy
Being an experienced baker (My pa is a baker/pastry chef and my ma a proficient cake-maker), I thought these were nice and easy, although a little bit time consuming to assemble. Also an excellent option for anyone lactose intolerant.
I reduced the water content by 100 mls and yes they make HUGE rolls.
Another way to make it a little bit easier to make up the rolled buns is to roll out the dough into a thin oblong, sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture all over it and roll up, then cutting about 14-16 1-2cm sections.
Adding chocolate chips would be a nice touch too.
As for posts about dry or burnt-raw in the middle baking? The temperature sounds too hot on your oven, get the thermostat checked or turn it down 10-20 degrees from what it says on a recipe (particularly if it's an electric fan oven).

Easy
Like some of the other reviewers I used 7g of yeast, 1 tsp salt, 100ml less water and about 100g more flour, added some cinnamon to the dough and served with a cream cheese frosting. Nice easy recipe but definitely think it would do 24 rolls better than 12.
