NOTE:
  • I did not have an adequate baking dish at that time for baking. You will need room for 12-13 rolls, 33 x 25 cm dimension.

  • I made the dough in a dough machine, because it saves me a lot of time and I don't tire my hands. The dough was smooth and compact.

  • You can add more sugar to the dough if you like a sweeter dough, up to 20 g. In my opinion, this is quite enough, you shouldn't overdo it with a lot of sugar!

  • If you like the taste of cinnamon, add more cinnamon for 1 full spoon.

  • If you want less sweetness, add 80-100 g of powdered sugar for the topping, I added 120 g.

  • It is very important that the butter is soft before starting to make this dessert. This also applies to eggs and cheese.

  • Keep the rolls in a cold place, covered in an airtight box for up to 5-6 days.

  • You can reheat them a little if you want them warm in the microwave or in the oven.
