Fruity Cinnamon rolls

 This time, our cinnamon rolls are packed with fruits and lovely cinnamon fragrances.

Cinnamon is one of the spices that I really like and I love to use it in baking. But for many people when talking about cinnamon, cinnamon roll is the first one that they will think about. 

I made (and post) some recipes before, most of them are simple recipes with butter, sugar, and cinnamon as a filling. But today, we will make it more special.

We use brioche-style bread (a bread that has a load of egg and butter) so refrigerating the dough before filling helps shape the bread easier.

I think that refrigerating the dough makes us manage the time better too. As you can prepare the dough today in the evening and bake it tomorrow to get freshly baked bread.

This soft bread is packed with vanilla and orange zest, while the filling contains dried fruits and nuts to make the rolls more delicious.

As I use an individual pan, the baking time is quite short but if you use a 24x24 cm. pan you will need a longer baking time.
