Some notes before you begin:

WORKING WITH PUFF PASTRY

Puff pastry can be a little fiddly, however following these steps can help:

• Ensure the pastry is cold, this makes it easier to work with. If working in a warm kitchen, only remove pastry from the fridge just as you are about to use it.

• Ensure that the oven is properly preheated before baking.

• Only unfold your pastry once it has thawed, otherwise it can break and crack.

• Make sure you roll the puff pastry very tightly for the cinnamon roll, or there will be gaps and the filling will come out.

CUTTING THE DOUGH INTO ROLLS

• Using a thread to cut the dough is the best way to get neat and clean rolls.
