Classic Croissants, brown sugar-cinnamon

There is a bakery (Medici Bakery on 57th Street) in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, which uses croissant dough to make the best cinnamon rolls.  Inspired by that, I filled a few of the croissants with brown sugar and cinnamon.  Left to my own devices, I would have added dried cranberries too, but I was aiming for the 4-year-old audience!  These were a big hit-- like cinnamon toast to the nth degree!

jaclyne writes: cinnamon sugar sounds soooo good! Did you find your cheese ones let out a lot of oil into the dough or was it noticeable? Wondering if I should choose a leaner cheese. Posted: 1:05 am on February 2nd
