Don’t these look cute? With your choice of chocolate or cinnamon fillings, these sweet little buns are sure to please.
2 sticks margarine (use soy-free if needed)
2 packages dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
6 – 6 and 1/2 cups Glicks Flour
1 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup Haddar Brown Sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Gefen Cinnamon
oil, for smearing
1/4 cup Gefen Cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
oil, for smearing
Melt margarine in one cup boiling water. Dissolve yeast in a quarter cup warm water.
In a large mixer bowl, combine the margarine and the yeast mixture and then add the rest of ingredients, adding flour last. Mix and add more flour, as necessary. (Dough should be a bit sticky.)
Refrigerate dough at least three hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine filling ingredients of your choice.
Divide dough into three parts. Roll out each part to quarter-inch thickness. Smear with oil. Sprinkle filling of choice (chocolate or cinnamon) generously over dough. (Make more filling, if necessary – see note.)
Roll up dough, jelly-roll fashion. Cut into one- to one- and- a- half-inch thick slices. For buns, place slices on greased cookie sheet. To shape as a babka, place slices in a round pattern in a greased nine-inch round pan.
Allow dough to rise for 15 additional minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

What’s the recipe for the drizzle?
flour should they be made with high gluten flour or all purpose?
When we write flour it always refers to ‘all-purpose’ flour unless specified 🙂
oil Can this be made with oil instead of margarine?
I have never tried making a cinnamon bun dough with margarine. If you don’t like using margarine I would recommend using refined coconut oil (which does not taste like coconut oil).
