Cinnamon Buns
Ingredients
275g warm water
5g active dried yeast
5 tbsp sugar
600g strong white flour
1/2 tsp salt
175g warm milk
75g butter
2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tbsp apricot jam (mixed with 2tbsp water)
For the Filling
125g butter
250g dark brown sugar
4 tbsp of ground cinnamon
Method
1. Mix the water, yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, remaining sugar, salt and 2 tsp cinnamon.
3. Next add in the butter and mix well. Then mix in the milk, and yeast mix, and bring the mixture
together until it forms a sticky dough.
4. Turn the dough out onto a well floured board and knead for 4-5 minutes until elastic and
smooth in appearance. Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Roll the dough out on a smoothed surface in a rectangular shape (60 x 40cm).
6. Smear the butter all over the rolled out dough, followed by the sugar and 4tbsp of cinnamon
(as pictured). Then roll the dough inwards from the top down, and seal the final edge with
water.
7. Cut the roll into 4cm lengths and place on a greased baking tray. Place in a warm area and
allow to leave to rise for approximately 30 minutes. Then place in the oven at 180C for 20
minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and brush with the apricot jam mix to glaze. Serve warm.
E-D's Notes
- This recipe might seem a bit tricky, but once you have all your ingredients out and ready to go
it's actually very straight forward. I know people can often see 'yeast' and think, ugh not worth
the effort, but really there is nothing to it, just mix it up and your ready to go.
- Don't worry if your buns don't look much different after the 30 minutes in your hotpress or
warm area. The change may be so slight you didn't notice, so just carry.
- These buns are best served warm but can be wrapped up and kept for up to two days.
