Introduction
This recipe is a good twist on a cinnamon roll/bun. The sweet yeast dough gives the dough a light and tender feel, while not being overly rich. The walnut-maple topping is similar story, delicious but not too rich. As a result, the final product is not too rich either. That means if you’re looking for a decadent and gooey Cinnabon type of thing, this is not the recipe to choose. If you’re looking for a more restrained and refined, yet still delicious roll then this is a great choice.
