Sourdough Cinnamon Buns at the Fishtown Cafe

At our Fishtown café, we want to provide an inspired breakfast. This week, we visited with our head pastry chef, Angela, to see how she makes our skillet-warmed Cinnamon Buns. These aren’t your mama’s Cinnamon Buns. These are Cinnamon Buns the La Colombe Way.

Here’s the basic process: flatten out a large sheet of dough, spread the cinnamon filling over it, then carefully roll up the dough and slice off buns to be baked. Here’s where the inspiration comes in: when you order a Cinnamon Bun at the Fishtown, we don’t plop it on a plate and hand it to you. We put it in a skillet and warm it in our wood-fired oven with some house-made icing over top. Add coffee and you’ve got a bangin’ breakfast.
