Salty Cinnamon Buns

These Sweet Cinnamon Rolls Feature a Crunchy Pretzel Crust

— September 10, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Kitchn blog put together a recipe for a sweet dessert that features cinnamon-layered dough and a crunchy pretzel crust. Both cinnamon buns and soft pretzels are beloved snacks which are popular in mall food courts across America. This innovative recipe combines two traditional treats to achieve the perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors.

The recipe consists of basic bread dough and a variety of salty and sweet toppings. The sweet potion of the bun consists of a sticky swirl of cinnamon-coated dough. The salty taste comes from the dark pretzel crust that envelops the outside of the roll. The bun itself is crunchy on the outside yet soft and moist on the inside. Overall, the dish provides a rich pretzel flavor without sacrificing the texture of a traditional cinnamon roll -- the hybrid dish is perfect for anyone who enjoys sweet and salty treats.
