Zeeuwse bolussen
Zeeuwse bolussen are sweet, sticky spiral buns, traditionally from the Dutch province of Zeeland. They start with a yeasted dough, enriched with butter and an egg, then get rolled in a generous amount of brown sugar and cinnamon before baking. The double rise gives them a light texture, while the sugar coating melts into a caramelized glaze during baking. They're best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, when the sugar is still gooey.
