From the Interns: Kazandibi Rolls

Tracie allows us to make a little something of our own each week, to sell at the market. This Wednesday, I'm making some cinnamon rolls, with a Mediterranean twist.

I was originally inspired by a blog entry written by an English woman who is living in France, and is on vacation in Marrakesh. She wrote about some lovely honey drenched pastries she was enjoying on her holiday. The mention of Mediterranean desserts sparked a memory a gorgeous dessert called Kazandibi, which I had a few years ago at a Turkish restaurant. It is a light milk custard similar to flan. It's dusted with cinnamon (not cinnamon and sugar...just cinnamon) and pistachio nuts.

I thought a good way to combine these elements of inspiration in an original way would be in a cinnamon roll. So this Wednesday I offer you the Kazandibi Roll: A milk dough roll filled with cinnamon and pistachios, and glazed (read: drenched) with honey.
