Giant cinnamon bun – a dream of yeast dough and cinnamon

The giant cinnamon bun is the big brother of the small coffee table version.

The giant cinnamon bun is perfect for all lovers of the small version. From the workload, it does not make much difference, but the giant cinnamon bun makes the afternoon and the coffee table a bit different.

I focused mainly in this version to the other appearance. I’ve done before a small version with pecans, which can be found here. It’s really quite a different picture if you do something in small or large. One or the other does not like the small buns, while others just prefer this.

I have chosen deliberately a giant cinnamon bun. This delicious, juicy pastry is not only good in a small version.
