piisirulla

Piisirulla is a Finnish pastry, often described as a "banana roll" or "cinnamon roll" with a banana filling. It is typically made with a sweet yeast dough, similar to that used for cinnamon buns. The dough is rolled out and spread with a filling that usually includes mashed banana, sugar, and cinnamon. Some recipes may also incorporate butter or margarine into the filling. Once filled, the dough is rolled up tightly and then sliced into individual portions, which are then baked until golden brown. The resulting pastry is soft, sweet, and fragrant with the combined aromas of banana and cinnamon.

These pastries are commonly found in Finnish bakeries and cafes. They are a popular treat for breakfast, coffee breaks, or as a dessert. The flavor profile is a comforting blend of sweet fruit and warm spice, making it a favorite among many. While the core ingredients remain consistent, variations can exist in the exact proportions of the filling or the addition of other spices like cardamom. Piisirulla is a simple yet satisfying pastry that showcases the appeal of common dessert flavors in a well-loved baked format.
