I like to enjoy my breakfast dishes with less sweetness. Cinnamon rolls are more as snacks than the breakfast dish for me. If you are like me then you will enjoy this grapes and rosemary breakfast buns which is lightly sweetened without any glaze. It is easy to make, and you only need sweet grapes.
Nowadays grapes are 88 cents for a pound in the grocery store, so I decide to make it. This recipe is adapted from Panettera book. I bought after seeing only a few pages of preview. I made some changes as original recipe didn’t have any salt in the recipe just like any other Tuscan bread. Also, original recipe asked for white wine. I don’t have it in hand, yes when a white wine bottle is opened, I will drink them to make sure that nothing left. So, I added white wine vinegar. If you have white wine in hand go for it, after all you need only 1 tablespoon of it.
Sweetness in this bread is coming from the grapes as well as touch of brown sugar used to marinate. Spice used in this recipe is cinnamon. In the original recipe the rolls are cut and baked individually, but I am skeptical about their spreading while baking in the oven. So, decided to use muffin tins. They are perfect to keep the shape of the rolls. If you want, you can stack them in the baking tin. May be next time and will try to use sweet white wine.
These are best with cup of coffee, also I feel they taste great when they come right out of the oven. If you are looking forward to making something special at dinner table during the holidays or Thanksgiving table then try this one. If you want, increase the amount of the sugar in the recipe to make it sweet grapes and rosemary breakfast buns.

Oh, I love the sound of this. I love cinnamon but have never combined it with grapes. That sounds so cool and so much fun for the coming cooler weather. The grapes must really do well inside the dough.
