📌Instructions

• Spread the cinnamon filling evenly and roll tightly from one end.

• Slice into even rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.

🍃 Second Rise:

• Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

🍃 Bake:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and fluffy.

🍃 Glaze:

✨ Pro Tips

• Everyday Matcha adds a subtle earthy depth that balances the sweetness.

• Add crushed nuts or white chocolate chips to the filling for a gourmet touch.

• Best enjoyed fresh with a warm cup of matcha latte.
