Cinnamon rolls, 2 varieties

The perfect snack while mountain biking or hiking.

Variant 1 (Germany):

Ingredients (in our pot, the recipe makes 2 servings of cinnamon rolls)

Dough:
  • 500g flour
  • 1 yeast cube (approx. 45g)
  • 7 tsp sugar
  • 2.5dl milk
  • 80g butter
  • 1 pinch of salt
Filling:
  • 125g melted butter
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp chocolate powder
  • 2 cups grated coconut
  • 1 tbsp rum
  • 1 egg

Accessories

  • Smooth work surface for rolling out the dough
  • 2 bowls
  • 2 baking papers
  • Firepot incl. lid
  • Fire bowl, possibly with a cover in case of windy weather

Preparation

  1. For the dough, dissolve the yeast with 1 tsp sugar in the milk.
  2. Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the dissolved yeast. Cover with a little flour from the edge and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  3. Then add the remaining ingredients and knead well until a smooth dough is formed. Let the dough rise until it is about twice its size.
  4. For the filling, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  5. Roll out the dough flat and spread evenly with the filling. Leave a narrow edge on one side so that the dough holds together well after rolling. Roll up the dough from the other side and cut off slices approx. 2cm thick.
  6. Line the firepot with baking paper and place the cinnamon rolls in it. Brush the cinnamon rolls with a little egg before baking.
  7. For baking, put the lid on the firepot and cover well with charcoal so that there is a lot of top heat and little bottom heat. Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

  3. Allow the dough to rise until about twice its size.
  4. While the dough is rising, the filling can be prepared: To do this, mix the butter, sugar and cinnamon at room temperature until a homogeneous mass is formed.
  5. Roll out the dough to a rectangle approx. 1 cm thick. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
  6. Roll up the dough to make a long roll (see pictures). Cut slices approx. 2cm thick. Line the firepot with baking paper and spread the rolls evenly on it.
