Kanelbullar - Swedish cinnamon roll

As usual, my trip inspired me to attempt a new recipe. This time, it's Kanelbullar, Swedish cinnamon roll that is very popular with the swedes, to have with their afternoon coffee. Every bakery, supermarket, even 7-11 sells them. They are a yeast dough pastry with cinnamon in side, sprinkle of pearl sugar on top. No where near as sweet as a Cinnamon bun.

I found a recipe for them at wikihow, and hurray, it uses a food processor... we all know how lazy I am when making any sort of dough. If I can use a food processor, I will! The ingredients are fairly simple, except for pearl sugar. I got a jar of "String of Pearls" sugar from Sur La Table, which gives it a sweet crunch.

Recipe can be found here. The only modification to the recipe I made, use brown sugar for the filling.

I think I over mix the dough, because it didn't rise as much as it should. I placed them onto mini muffin cups.

After a egg wash and sprinkle of pearl sugar:

I probably had my convection oven too high, and left it in a bit too long, but it's still tasty. I think I will use less butter in the filling next time, and maybe a tad more cinnamon. the 2 top ones are the end bits of the roll. The bottom one is the "good" cinnamon roll. The rest I put in the freezer to make another day. Hope they survive the freeze.
