October is here and with it comes colder days and colourful leaves that make you want to stay indoors. What could be better with a cup of hot tea or coffee than a freshly baked cinnamon roll? These fluffy, aromatic rolls are not only a treat for the soul, but also the perfect recipe for the autumn baking season.
What you need:
For the dough:
- 500 g flour
- 1 packet of dry yeast
- 80 g sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 250 ml milk
- 80 g butter
- 1 egg
For the filling:
- 100 g butter, soft
- 150 g brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
For the glaze:
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions:
Heat the milk in a small pan until it is warm, then melt the butter in it. In a large bowl, mix the flour, dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the lukewarm milk and butter mixture and the egg and knead everything into a smooth dough. Cover the dough and leave it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle (approx. 40x50 cm) on a floured work surface. Spread the butter at room temperature evenly over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter. Roll up the dough from the long side and cut into about 12 equal slices.
Place the slices in a greased baking tin or one lined with baking paper, leaving some space between the rolls. Leave the cinnamon rolls to rise for another 20-30 minutes while the oven preheats to 180°C.
Bake the cinnamon buns in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
While the cinnamon buns are baking, prepare the icing. To do this, mix the powdered sugar with the milk and vanilla essence from 1001 Organic until smooth. Remove the cinnamon buns from the oven and leave to cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze.
Enjoy!
