After seeing the cinnamon roll from Paris's Circus Bakery pop up everywhere on Instagram, we developed this recipe as an homage. (Hey, it was cheaper than a plane ticket.) Circus Bakery's roll is made with sourdough, but our cardamom-scented version is more briochelike; of course, they're both streaked with a sweet, buttery cinnamon filling. It takes some practice to master the distinctive twisted shape—try it out a few times with a twisted-up towel or piece of parchment paper to get a feel for it. And if your knot isn't perfect, don’t worry! The buns will be delicious no matter what.
