Notes

The source does not provide quantities, the number of rolls, or details such as the size to which the dough should be rolled or how it should be cut. The post indicates approximately 330 kcal, 20 g of protein, 5 g of fat, and 56 g of carbohydrates per roll. The amount of vanilla appears ambiguous in the visual text; it cannot be confirmed whether the 15 ml refers to this ingredient.
