What are Zeeuwse bolussen
In the Netherlands we call this delicacy ‘Zeeuwse bolussen’. Other names are Zeeland rolls or Dutch cinnamon rolls. They are named after the province they come from: Zeeland.
Zeeuwse bolussen are not made like most cinnamon rolls. You don’t need a rolling pin to roll out the dough, spread the sugar mixture on top, roll it up and cut it into slices.
Instead, the dough is divided into equal parts, rolled into individual ropes in a sugar mixture, and then spiraled into shape.
The result is an amazingly sticky, gooey cinnamon roll. The dough is still soft and tender and a perfect match for the cinnamon roll crust. Which is mostly gooey, but has some nice crispy edges.
