Beetroot Cinnamon-Ginger Buns

Step-by-step method

These beautiful pink cinnamon-ginger buns come together with beetroot purée, a simple yeast dough that needs a couple of hours to rise, and a warm spiced filling. The most fun part is slicing the rolled dough into triangles and pressing them down to make those signature fanned-out edges before baking.
