cinnamon swirl

Sugary spiral bread

A cinnamon swirl is a pattern of cinnamon sugar rolled into dough, creating visible spirals when sliced or baked.

The term describes both the technique and the resulting pastry—cinnamon swirl bread, cinnamon swirl rolls.

The swirl distinguishes these from items where cinnamon is merely sprinkled on top: I could see the cinnamon swirl through the bread's crust.
