Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: for the dough:; 1 cup lukewarm water; 1 tablespoon instant yeast; 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour; 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 3 tablespoons neutral oil; for the filling:; 3 tablespoons neutral oil; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Servings: persons

for the dough:
1 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon instant yeast
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons neutral oil
for the filling:
3 tablespoons neutral oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1
For the dough: In a large bowl, microwave the water to be about 110-115 degrees F. If you stick your finger in, it should feel just slightly warm.
2
Pour in the yeast and stir until it dissolves. Allow to proof.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the rest of the ingredients: flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and oil.
4
Once the yeast has become foamy and bubbly, pour into the bowl, use the dough attachment, and mix on medium speed until a tacky but not too sticky dough forms. Add flour and water appropriately.
5
Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a tamp paper towel or kitchen towel and allow to rise in a warm place. Allow to double in size (takes about 45 minutes to an hour). Meanwhile, prepare the filling.
6
For the filling: Combine the sugar and cinnamon.
7
Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush evenly with the oil. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.
8
Roll the dough tightly and place the seam side down. Then using floss or a very sharp knife cut into 2 inch sections. Place in a greased pan with a little space in between each. Brush with a little more oil on top. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for another hour.
9
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and serve immediately. If you want, you can add frosting (but I prefer none).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
