So many people think it's just easier to buy cinnamon buns...but you
really think they're a treat that we should try to make at home...
Curtis: As much I love sweets, store-bought cinnamon rolls are
covered in confectioners' icing and are just too sugary for me in the
morning. My homemade cinnamon swirls are not nearly as sweet as the
store bought versions. They have a lot less sugar and are healthier
because there are no chemicals or processed ingredients. They are not
only good in the morning, but they're perfect for a mid-afternoon
snack. They're great to pack as a treat in your child's lunch.
I first need to prepare my basic pizza dough. My basic pizza dough is
a good base for many variations of other breads. You can prepare an
extra batch if you want and save it for other recipes.
Mix in small bowl- 1 package yeast, 1/2 tsp sugar, and 3/4 cup warm
water in a bowl. Let the yeast stand 5 to 10 minutes until bubbles
form. Sift 2 cups flour and a dash of salt into a large mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil and the yeast mixture in the
small bowl to the larger mixing bowl with dry ingredients. Mix for a
few minutes with a wooden spoon and then mix with your hands. Knead
dough until flour is fully incorporated and texture is smooth. Set
aside in an oiled mixing bowl for 20-30 minutes.
Remove the dough from bowl and divide in half. Roll each half out
flat, either into a circle or a square. Spread 4 tbsp butter (1/2
stick) over the top of each half. Mix 2 tbsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup
sugar together in a bowl and sprinkle over the butter on the dough.
Roll each half into a log. Cut the logs into slices about 1 inch
thick onto a baking tray.
The oven should be preheated at 375 degrees. Bake at this temperature
for about 12 minutes.

NOTES : There's nothing like the smell of  freshly baked cinnamon
buns in the morning. And it's probably persuaded you on more than one
occasion pick up a bun or two on your way to the office. But
store-bought buns often have much more sugar than spice. So we've
asked Curtis Aikens here to show us his secret to perfect "cinnamon
swirls":
