  • 120 ml olive oil
  • 150 ml warm milk
  • 750 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g sugar
  • 10 g salt
  • 150 g room temperature butter, cut into small pieces

Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • 120 g soft butter
  • 100 g sugar

  • 100 g confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tbsp liquid whipped cream

Pizza Roll Filling

  • 150 g grated mozzarella and cheddar
  • 4 slices of prosciutto cotto

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sponge

Combine warm milk, yeast, and flour. Mix well, cover, and let ferment for 10–15 minutes, until doubled.
A sponge helps develop a deeper flavor and a lighter, fluffier dough.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Add eggs, warm milk, olive oil, and sugar to the sponge. Mix for 1 minute.
Add flour and salt, then knead (medium-low speed) for 4 minutes. Gradually add butter and mix for another 4 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls

Divide the dough into two pieces. Shape each into a round ball, cover, and rest for 10 minutes.

Cinnamon Rolls

Roll out one piece into a 16×14-inch rectangle. Spread with butter, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and roll tightly. Cut into 8 pieces and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise 45–60 minutes.

Pizza Rolls

Roll out the second piece the same way. Spread tomato sauce, sprinkle cheese, and add prosciutto. Roll up, slice into 8 pieces, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let rise 45–60 minutes.

Step 4: Bake

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), then immediately lower to 375°F (190°C) once trays are in.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 5: Glaze

Top the warm cinnamon rolls with glaze. Let cool for 20–25 minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet and savoury creations!


🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve the cinnamon rolls warm with coffee, milk, or tea.
Enjoy the pizza rolls fresh from the oven or as a snack for parties, lunch boxes, or picnics.


🧊 Storage Tips

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Freeze (unglazed) for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.

💡 Variations & Substitutions

  • Replace prosciutto with ham, salami, or roasted vegetables.
  • Swap pumpkin spice for nutmeg or allspice.
  • Add cream cheese frosting for a richer cinnamon roll topping.
  • Try whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.

❓ FAQ

Q: Can I prepare the dough the night before?
A: Yes! Let it rise once, then refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temp before shaping.

Q: Can I bake both rolls together?
A: Yes, just use separate trays to keep the sweet and savoury flavors distinct.

Q: Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry?
A: Absolutely — just skip the sponge resting step and mix everything directly.


With this versatile dough, you can satisfy both your sweet tooth and savoury cravings in one go. Whether you’re baking for brunch, family gatherings, or weekend treats, these rolls are guaranteed to impress — soft, golden, and perfectly balanced!

👩‍🍳 Priprema

Korak 1: Priprema predtesta

U posudi sjediniti toplo mleko, kvasac i brašno. Promešati, pokriti i ostaviti 10–15 minuta dok ne udvostruči zapreminu.
Predtesto daje testu dublji ukus i vazdušastu, mekanu teksturu.

Korak 2: Priprema glavnog testa

U predtesto dodati jaja, toplo mleko, maslinovo ulje i šećer. Mutiti 1 minut.
Dodati brašno i so, pa mešati (srednja brzina) oko 4 minuta. Postepeno dodavati puter i mešati još 4 minuta.

Testo prebaciti na blago pobrašnjenu površinu i mesiti još 2 minuta dok ne postane glatko. Staviti u nauljenu posudu, pokriti i ostaviti da naraste 60 minuta.

Korak 3: Oblikovanje rolnica

Testo podeliti na dva dela. Svaki oblikovati u loptu, pokriti i ostaviti da odmori 10 minuta.

Cimet rolnice

Jedan deo testa rastanjiti u pravougaonik (40×35 cm). Premazati puterom, posuti mešavinom šećera i cimeta, pa uviti u rolat. Iseći na 8 delova i poređati na pleh obložen papirom. Pokriti i ostaviti da naraste 45–60 minuta.

Pica rolnice

Drugi deo testa rastanjiti isto kao prvi. Premazati paradajz sosom, posuti sirom i poređati pršutu. Uviti u rolat, iseći na 8 delova i staviti na pleh obložen papirom. Ostaviti da naraste 45–60 minuta.

Korak 4: Pečenje

Zagrejati rernu na 200°C (400°F), zatim smanjiti na 190°C (375°F) kada se rolnice ubace.
Peći 25–30 minuta, dok ne porumene.

Korak 5: Glazura

Cimet rolnice premazati glazurom dok su još tople. Ostaviti da se prohlade 20–25 minuta i uživati u slatko-slanom spoju!


🍽️ Posluživanje

Cimet rolnice su savršene uz kafu, mleko ili čaj.
Pica rolnice poslužite tople – idealne su kao užina, za druženja, piknik ili školski obrok.


🧊 Čuvanje

  • Čuvati u zatvorenoj posudi na sobnoj temperaturi do 2–3 dana.
  • Po želji podgrejati u rerni ili mikrotalasnoj.
  • Mogu se zamrznuti (bez glazure) do 2 meseca. Odmrznuti u frižideru preko noći, pa ugrejati pre serviranja.

💡 Varijacije i zamene

  • Umesto pršute, može se koristiti šunka, kulen ili pečeno povrće.
  • Umesto pumpkin spice, dodajte malo muskatnog oraščića ili karanfilića.
  • Za bogatiji ukus, napravite krem sir glazuru.
  • Možete koristiti integralno brašno za rustičniji izgled i ukus.

❓ Česta pitanja

P: Mogu li testo pripremiti dan ranije?
O: Da! Nakon prvog narastanja, stavite ga u frižider. Sutradan ga izvadite i ostavite da dostigne sobnu temperaturu pre oblikovanja.

P: Mogu li peći obe vrste zajedno?
O: Naravno, ali koristite odvojene plehove da se ukusi ne pomešaju.

P: Mogu li koristiti instant kvasac?
O: Da – u tom slučaju preskočite korak sa predtestom i sve sastojke odmah sjedinite.


Jedno testo – dva potpuno različita ukusa! Ove rolnice su mekane, mirisne i savršene za svaku priliku. Bilo da volite slatko ili slano, sigurno će osvojiti sve oko vas!
