Ingredients
To make the bread dough
- 400 grams all-purpose flour
- 180 ml warm milk
- 60 grams salted butter, room temperature
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp castor sugar
- 1 tsp Yeast (Instant/ Active dry yeast)
For the cinnamon rolls filling
- 90 grams soft brown sugar, powdered
- 70 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
For the sugar syrup
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml water
Instructions
For the sugar syrup
- Add the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 3 to 4 mins and switch off the gas. Let cool
For the dough
- In a bowl combine the warm milk, sugar and yeast together. Let it sit untouched for 5 mins or until the mixture turns frothy
- Next, add the egg and butter to the mixture and whisk. Add the flour and combine all the ingredients together
- Now, knead this dough for 10-12 mins or until it forms a smooth and soft dough. Once done, let the dough proof in a greased bowl for about an hour or until double in size
- Once doubled in size, punch the dough back. Roll this dough on a surface sprinkled with flour (roll in a rectangular shape)
For the filling
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon powder together. Mix well. Keep the softened butter ready
To make the cinnamon rolls
- Using a palette knife apply a thick layer of butter over the rolled rectangular shaped dough. Apply a generous amount, use more butter if required
