About

THE RECIPE Cinnamon rolls (or honey buns, depending on your local lexicon) may be made from nearly any dough. Compared to brioche cinnamon rolls, which are softer and more delicate, these have a flaky, sturdy crumb. This recipe includes bright orange zest in the filling and a honey butter glaze on top.
