    What is the purpose of yeast in a cinnamon roll dough?

    • To add flavor

    • To increase the volume

    • To make it soft

    • To prevent spoilage

    Correct Answer
    A. To increase the volume
    Explanation
    Yeast is used in cinnamon roll dough to activate fermentation, resulting in increased volume and a lighter texture.The purpose of yeast in cinnamon roll dough is to increase the volume by causing the dough to rise. Yeast is a leavening agent that ferments and produces carbon dioxide gas, which gets trapped in the dough, causing it to expand and become light and fluffy. This gives the cinnamon rolls their soft and airy texture. Yeast also contributes to the flavor of the dough by producing fermentation byproducts that enhance the overall taste. Additionally, yeast helps extend the shelf life of the cinnamon rolls by creating an acidic environment that inhibits spoilage.

Serving them hot enhances their flavor and aroma, making them a comforting and delicious treat.

Chilled or frozen cinnamon rolls are not typically served at these temperatures, as they are usually reheated to enjoy their warmth and freshness.

    • Puff pastry dough

    • Brioche dough

    • Pizza dough

    • Shortcrust pastry dough

    Correct Answer
    A. Brioche dough
    Explanation
    Brioche dough  is the preferred choice for making cinnamon rolls due to its rich and buttery flavor, which complements the sweet cinnamon filling perfectly. This dough is characterized by its high content of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour, resulting in a soft and slightly fluffy texture when baked. The addition of yeast allows the dough to rise, giving the cinnamon rolls their desired light and airy quality. After rolling out the dough and filling it with a cinnamon sugar mixture, it is rolled into a log shape, sliced into individual rolls, and baked until they turn a beautiful golden brown. The combination of brioche dough and the sweet, cinnamon-spiced filling makes cinnamon rolls a delightful treat that's enjoyed for breakfast or dessert, often topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting.
