About the dish

Zeeuwse bolus is a sweet Dutch pastry that is quite similar to the famous cinnamon roll . Best consumed warm, the sticky, gooey, and tender bolussen consist of flour, milk, salt, sugar, yeast, and butter. They are traditionally flavored with a combination of dark brown sugar and ground cinnamon, which melts nicely when these treats are baked. It is believed that bolussen were originally prepared by Sephardic Jewish bakers in the early 17th century. Today, Zeeuwse bolussen are said to taste the best when paired with some butter and a cup of coffee on the side.
