Cinnamon Rolls
In Tallinn Estonia, I have made Cinnamon Rolls but this is the first time to make them in Singapore. The best part about making my own Cinnamon Rolls is that I can control the amount of sugar added. I prefer not-too-sweet Cinnamon Rolls if I can have it my way. I like this recipe as it is really soft and fluffy in the inside as I am using Bread flour. I am absolutely happy with the results:

- 4 cups of bread flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
