This skillet cinnamon roll is not only delicious, but looks like a beautiful flower. Each petal is a delicious cinnamon roll serving.

Sweet Petal Cinnamon Roll

This is a little bit different version of the traditional cinnamon roll. Made in a cast iron skillet and the dough is shaped to resemble the petals of a flower. Not only is it delicious but it is also fun to make and eat! The kids will love helping make the dough petals that look like worms too!  

Sweet Petal Cinnamon Roll

How to make a petal Shaped cinnamon roll

After your dough has risen for about an hour you are going to tear off pieces of dough and roll them into little dough worms about 6-8 inches long.

Sweet Petal Cinnamon Roll

Smoosh the worm into the dirt – not really dirt but into the cinnamon/butter mixture that looks a little like dirt!  I baked mine in my cast iron pan because things just taste better when cooked in cast iron and I think it looks pretty too.  I used a 10″ cast iron skillet pan but you could also use a small to medium pizza pan or any round pan that is about 10 inches in diamter.  Start in the middle and wind your first little dough worm up into a spiral.

Then just continue making dough worms, dipping them into the sugar mixture and winding them around the center piece.

Once your pan is full of dough worms let it rise for about 45 minutes and it will look like this.

Then it’s time to bake and time to enjoy the lovely smell that cinnamon rolls make while they bake.  It bakes for about 20 minutes.  After removing from the oven drizzle with a nice powdered sugar glaze.

Isn’t she pretty!?

Now comes the fun part!  You get to eat it.  We like to just start on the outer edge and pull off a dough worm!  Of course a mug of hot chocolate is always required to go along with the cinnamon rolls at our house.

    Not a novice baker. Followed recipe to the letter. Didn’t rise. Ended up with a flour brick after an hour. : (

      If it didn’t rise, it is an issue with your yeast.

    Question about recipe for Sweet Cinnamon Petal Roll: in the article it says “Once your pan is full of dough worms let it rise for about 45 minutes and it will look like this.”
    But in the actual instructions it doesn’t mention this?
    I understand the dough has to rise for an hour initially, but does it need to rise again in the skillet for another 45 min?
    Thanks

      Gina, Yes, it should rise again after the dough is in the pan. I corrected the recipe.
