Coming to the shape I couldn't achieve like the original one and made the roll slightly bigger.Instead of cutting a roll into 3 pieces,I cut into two.The taste was amazing and while baking the house was filled with the aroma of cinnamon.My kiddo enjoyed it to the core and loved the cinnamon flavor.For the given measurement 4 bear claws can be made.I made 2 claws one day and refrigerate the rest of the dough,made cinnamon buns on the next day.As there was no charge in the camera I couldn't take the pictures of it.Off to the recipe...........................

- Meanwhile mix the sugars and cinnamon powder in a bowl and line the baking tray with parchment paper.Keep it aside.
- After the dough has risen well,pinch it down and roll it.Divide the dough into two equal portions.Now slightly floured the surface and roll the each divided to a 12x 15 inch sheet.Brush it with a tbs of butter and sprinkle half of the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
- Now carefully roll from the one end and roll it to a log and pinch the ends and seal it.Cut the roll into half and pinch the cut end to seal.Place the rolls on the baking tray and slightly curve it.Now with a help of shears,make 5-6 cuts on the rolled log as shown.Not to cut all the way through.Continue it for the rest of the rolls.

- The rolls taste better when it is served warm,just microwave it for 5 seconds and serve. .
- The sweetness was just perfect if you want it a bit sweeter version then add another tbs of sugar.
- The amount of cinnamon powder can be increased according to personal preference.I reduced the amount from the original recipe.
- For the cinnamon powder,I kept the whole cinnamon in the microwave for a minute and powder it in a coffee grinder and sieve it.
