Made this last night and it was gone in minutes! My family LOVED it! It's like a ton of cinnamon buns, but it tastes better, is in one big loaf to share, and has perfect little pre-made slivers to cut!

I think that must be Fahrenheit (seeing as UK ovens usually only go up to 250!) which would be approx 200 C
