Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 500 g Bread Flour
  • 75 g Caster Sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Instant Yeast
  • 120 ml Milk
  • 60 g Butter Unsalted, and melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 120 ml Water

For the filling:

  • 100 g Butter Unsalted, and softened
  • 100 g Brown Sugar Light
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon Ground

For the glaze:

  • 100 g Icing Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Milk

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, caster sugar, salt, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, melted butter, and eggs.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Grease a bowl, put the dough in it, and cover it with cling film. Leave it in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas mark 6.
  • Grease a 23cm square baking tin.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to form a rectangle of about 40cm x 30cm.
  • For the filling, mix softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough's surface.
  • Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a long sausage shape.
  • Cut the dough into slices of approximately 2.5cm thick, and place them in the greased baking tin.
  • Cover the tin with cling film and leave it in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until the rolls have risen and are touching each other.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown.
  • For the glaze, mix icing sugar and whole milk until it becomes smooth.
  • After the cinnamon rolls are cooked, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve them while they're still warm.

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is not too hot when adding it to the dry ingredients to avoid killing the yeast.
  • You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough if you prefer.
  • Adding a tablespoon of honey to the glaze will make the cinnamon rolls softer.
