Cinnamon Rolls
Delicious pull apart cinnamon buns.
Servings: 7 buns
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)
