For about 25 buns

- 2 tsp salt
- 120g Palmania palmyra nectar

- Take the dough out of the bowl and put it on a table (can dust a bit of flour on the table). Knead the dough lightly. Divide the dough into 2
- Use the rolling pin to spread the dough equally until the dough is about 1cm thick and has a rectangle shape
- Spread butter on the surface of each dough. Sprinkle cinnamon powder on them. Roll each dough into one long roll (like a roll cake)
- Put a thread under each roll and start cutting into Tosca buns by pulling the thread in opposite directions.
