Introduce the recipe and explain the comparison between American and Swedish cinnamon buns.

Measure 500 g of all-purpose flour for the dough.

Mix the dough using an Anas room mixer, which was gifted to the creator.

Adjust the sugar amount in the dough to make it sweeter than the standard recipe.

Shape the dough into a rectangular form and cool it in the fridge until stiff.

Roll out the dough into a long and skinny rectangle, ensuring it is not too thin.

Spread a thin layer of butter over the rolled-out dough, reaching the edges.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the butter and press it in lightly.

Fold the top lip of the dough down and roll it tightly, paying attention to the sides.

Cut the rolled dough into pieces weighing just under 200 g each, resulting in about 8 pieces.

Let the cut pieces rise for 3 to 3.5 hours until doubled in size, noting that the winter temperature affects rising time.

Preheat the oven and bake the rolls, checking for an internal temperature above 92°C to ensure they are done.

Let the buns cool after baking without brushing them with anything immediately.

Prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, salt, and vanilla extract.

Once the buns are cool, spread the frosting generously over them.
