A short story about cinnamon

Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known to mankind, used in both gastronomy and medicine. This aromatic spice not only makes dishes taste delicious, but also has numerous health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Plus, it is a versatile ingredient that can turn a simple dessert into a real treat.

Preparation

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure that the quark cheese is at room temperature so that it blends in more easily.

2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, mix the yolks with the quark cheese, skim milk, baking powder and sweetener. Use a mixer or a pastry blender to make a smooth, homogeneous cream.

3. Beat the egg whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. This step is essential to ensure a fluffy texture to your rolls.

4. Mixing the mixture: Gradually add the cream cheese to the beaten egg whites, stirring gently from bottom to top so that the foam doesn't "come down". This will aerate the dough and make the rolls fluffier.

5. Baking the pastry sheet: Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour in the resulting mixture. Roll out evenly to form a thin sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Preparing the rolls: Once the sheet is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then sprinkle cinnamon and sweetener on another sheet of baking paper. Place the warm pastry sheet on top of this mixture, turning it onto the sprinkled side. Press lightly with the palm of your hand to set the cinnamon.

7. Rolling: After it has cooled slightly, carefully roll the dough, using the baking paper. Wrap the roll in aluminum foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step will help the rolls hold their shape.

8. Cut and bake the rolls: Remove the rolls from the fridge and cut into slices about 2 cm thick. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

9. Making the syrup: In a small saucepan, stir together the water, cinnamon and sweetener, bringing to the boiling point. Allow the syrup to cool.

10. Final baking: Brush the rolls with the cinnamon syrup and bake in the oven at 160 °C for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
