Challah Cinnamon Rolls are fluffy and soft rolls that are perfect pastries for breakfast or for snacks with some milk or hot chocolate. The dough is made from a traditional Challah bread dough, which is traditional Jewish bread.
While Challah is a traditional bread baked for the Jewish Sabbath, it has become popular with everyone, everywhere. It’s attractive and has a firm, egg-rich texture that works for dinner, sandwiches, or French toast.
Challah is really very easy to make, especially from a mix. There is a sense of satisfaction in working the dough by hand and crafting such an attractive bread and it certainly will impress guests.
Now, to twist things up, let’s make these Challah Cinnamon Rolls and served them whenever you want. Not just for big occasions, but also for breakfast or just for a snack.

How to shape the Challah Cinnamon Rolls

- Gently stretch it as you do so until it nearly doubles in length.
- Grab one end of the twisted strip and loosely wrap the dough around two fingers twice.
- Then loop the rest of the dough perpendicularly around the dough so that it forms a knot, and tuck the loose end in at the bottom.
