Cinnamon rolls...
Sweet bread scrolls with cinnamon filling. No icing recipe here, but I would highly recommend cream cheese icing put on while they're still hot if you want to ice them.

Cinnamon rolls
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 3/4 cups of flour
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 7 grams of instant yeast (one packet ususally)
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 45g of melted butter
- 1 egg
Filling
- 60g of softened butter
- 2/3 cup of brown sugar
- 2 tbsps of cinnamon
Method
- Get a baking tin. Don't grease it. Size and shape doesn't matter, so long as it has walls.
- Mix together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the yeast to the melted butter. Butter should be warm.
- Mix the butter-yeast, milk, and egg into the dry ingredients. When it makes a sticky dough, knead it with your hands until it is just tacky.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest for 15 minutes while making the filling.
- In a separate bowl, mix all filling ingredients. Spread just a little of this onto the baking tin to grease it.
- Roll the dough out to about A3 paper size. Spread the filling on top with a knife or offset spatula. You want a relatively thick but even coat, dodging one long edge.
- Roll this up into a log longways, and cut into 12 rolls with cotton thread. Put these little blobs into the baking tray, and if you have extra filling, fill in the gaps with it.
- Cover the tin with a cloth and leave in a warm place for about an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 190C and bake for about 25 minutes. They should brown a bit.
