Notes
Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!
I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.
I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.
You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.
Let’s cook!
Tips:
This no rise dough is very easy to make and comes together quickly; but because it’s made without yeast and eggs, it’s important you don’t use too much flour or could turn out a bit dry. If you get a slightly dry dough, just add a bit of extra milk.
I made these buns in a braided shape, but you can also make them like traditional cinnamon rolls: just roll the filled dough, cut it into slices and put them into a round pan.
I’ve just sprinkled them with powdered sugar, but you can top these delicious cinnamon buns with water icing or cream cheese icing (like traditional cinnamon rolls).
