I do not remember where I adapted this recipe is from, because it must be from two years ago or something, I used her recipe for cinnamon rolls countless time and to that, variance of fillings, the bread is always smooth and fluffy and never went wrong.
Cinnamon Rolls
250g bread flour (a must, but replaceable by all-purpose flour)
50g all-purpose flour
30g brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
6g instant yeast (or 1 tsp + a pinch)
125ml milk (boiled, and warmed)
1 egg
50g butter, room temperature, cut to small cubes
Filling
50g brown sugar (or 1/4 cup, packed)
1 tbsp cinnamon powder
1 tbsp flour
Add: choc chip, raisins, nuts, etc.
25g butter, melted
1-2 tsp of honey/golden syrup
*note: orignal recipe and me uses breadmaker to make this dough.
1. Combine all dry ingredients, except yeast because salt and yeast should not met so soon, put the pan into breadmaker, at "Dough" function, and let everything mix together, add yeast.
2. Whisk egg into warm milk (must be warm!), and slowly drizzle into the dry ingredients. The dough should be formed after few rounds of mixing, if you feel the dough would not formed, drizzled tiny bit of milk.
3. As soon as it resembles some kind of dough, slowly drop butter cubes one by one, and left to knead and rise.
4. After first proofing in the breadmaker, roll out onto lightly floured workspace, and knead for few minutes, Leave it to rise for another 20 minutes, while preparing its filling.
5. Roll out the dough, roughly a medium size rectangle. (if you are feeding a large crowd, roll it bigger)
6. Slather the dough with the melted butter + honey mixture, and evenly coated the surface with the fillings.
7. Roll tightly into a log, and cut accordingly. (1 cm wide, more or less as you cut bigger the portion get smaller, etc.)
8. Arrange in pans, large enough to accommodate final proofing stage, that is 20 minutes.
9. Bake in a preheated oven, 190C for 10 minutes, then lowered down to 180C for another 10 minutes.
10, Whilst still piping hot, slather another coat of melted butter + honey mixture.
Serve immediately or if left to cool, reheat 10 seconds in the oven.
Enjoy!
