The cinnamon wreath made with puff pastry is an easy, quick, and very fragrant Christmas sweet crown. I had a roll of puff pastry to use up and in less than 10 minutes, I made a delightful and delicious treat that smells like Christmas. To make it even more delicious (like the famous cinnamon rolls, cinnamon-filled brioches), I garnished the cinnamon wreath with a vanilla sugar glaze, without egg whites. Prepare this sweet treat during the holiday season, it will be a hit, perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert!

- 1 sheet puff pastry (rectangular)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp water (1 tablespoon)
- to taste vanilla
Steps
The puff pastry cinnamon wreath is super easy and quick to prepare, first put the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and mix.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and brush the entire surface with the melted butter. Place the sugar and cinnamon mix on top and distribute it evenly over the pastry.
Starting from the longer side and using the underlying parchment paper to help, roll the pastry, forming a roll, cut it into 10 small pieces, without separating them, leaving them attached only at the top side of the pastry.
Bend the pastry to form a circle, join the ends and place a cup or oven-safe bowl in the center, just to maintain the shape while baking, then turn the rolls upwards.
Bake the cinnamon wreath in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with water and a bit of vanilla. Remove the dessert from the oven and garnish it, still warm, with the freshly prepared glaze. You can use a teaspoon to distribute it over the dessert, leaving it messy in a warm manner.
You can enjoy the cinnamon wreath immediately if you like the glaze soft and creamy, or let it cool if you prefer it more “solid”.
Notes:
The cinnamon wreath keeps at room temperature for 3-4 days. If you don’t want to add vanilla to the glaze, you can omit it without any problems, you can also add a pinch of cinnamon to make it even more fragrant. If you don’t want to add glaze, use simple powdered sugar, you can also add a bit of ground cinnamon.
