Recipe: Cinnamon Buns – Fresh From the Oven

I am late again.    I did actually manage to make this on time, but have been in France for a week, with laptop, but sans charger.

The challenge for October’s Fresh From the Oven from Claire, was to make cinnamon buns.

Similar to the  Chelsea buns we made a year ago, I think enjoyed making these.   I have a slightly hazy recollection, as I made the dough, went out with my cousin to a rather lovely dinner at the Vintner’s Company, then upon my return home I assembled the buns.

I have been told how much I had “enjoyed” the dinner and associated wines (bourne out by the liberal dusting of flour I discovered on my evening dress I must have been quite merry upon my return).  My less than clear head in the morning was entirely due to the quantity of the rather excellent wines I was lucky enough to be offered.

As far as I am aware the only modifications I made to the recipe were to substitute the plain flour for whole wheat spelt, and to have a second overnight rise in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 400 g Strong White Bread Flour
  • 2 Sachets of instant yeast (14/15g)
  • 200 g Plain Flour
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 250 ml Lukewarm Milk
  • 50 g Butter (melted)
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Filling

  • 150 g butter (very soft)
  • 50 g Brown Sugar - muscovado or demerara
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • A Handful of Sultanas (optional)

Icing (optional*)

  • 2 Cups of Icing Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Water to Mix

Instructions

  • In a jug mix the yeast, warm milk and tablespoon of sugar.
  • Leave to froth for 10 minutes if you have time then add the melted butter and egg yolks.
  • Mix this into the flours, with the salt.
  • Knead for 5-10 minutes on a floured surface or in your food mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
  • Put in a large bowl with a plate on top and leave in a warm place until doubled in size (1-2 hours)
  • Knock down and flatten out until it's about the size of a large baking tray.
  • Slather with the very soft 100g ofbutter.
  • Sprinkle with the mix of brown sugar and cinnamon, and the sultanas.
  • Roll up so you have a long swiss roll type thing.
  • Slice into 2" slices and place in a deep cake tin
  • I used a 26cm Kaiser tin, with a bit of butter rubbed into it.
  • Allow to rise for another 1/2 hour. Tuck in any sultanas so they don't burn.
  • Bake at 200c for 10 minutes
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for another 15 minutes or so.
  • At this point I brush it with a little melted butter and put it back in if not quite cooked through but it's probably not necessary. I am a born fiddler.
  • Tip out straight away - using a plate to tip it onto then back onto a 2nd plate.
  • Top with the warm buttery icing and leave to cool....as long as you can bear it.
  • They are still good on day two (and even better when warmed for 20 seconds in the microwave)

    I am always slightly in awe of anybody making cinnamon or Chelsea buns – probably because of my fear of yeast baking!! The irony is that I ADORE both – and yours look quite superb. Sounds like the dinner was most enjoyable too ;o)

    I am a huge fan of anything that includes the words “cinnamon” or “bun” in their description….so you can imagine how much I’m drooling at these!

    They look great – how did they compare to the ones we ate at the Scandinavian Show?

      Pretty good. Although I was so hungover it was a struggle to even nibble at one! ;-(

    The cinnamon buns look so soft and tender… Yum! It’s been so long since I’ve made them, and now I feel like I should remedy that asap.
