Fluffy yeast rolls with cinnamon and vanilla
Freshly baked cinnamon rolls from a Dutch oven are a true comfort food. The soft yeast dough, the aromatic cinnamon-sugar filling, and the warm vanilla cream glaze make these rolls especially moist.
This recipe yields approximately 12 cinnamon rolls . A smaller Dutch oven will hold about six to seven rolls – the remaining dough can either be baked later or easily frozen.

Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut into slices about 3-4 cm wide .
4. Let the snails go
Place the snails in a Dutch oven dish or casserole dish lined with baking paper.
Leave some space between the snails.
Let it stand for another 30 minutes or so .
5. Baking
Preheat the grill, oven or Dutch oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat .
Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 20-25 minutes , until they are golden brown.
6. Prepare the glaze

This keeps them especially juicy.
