DOUGH

  • SKIP this step if you are using Instant Yeast.
    Sprinkle yeast on top of warm milk, add 1 tablespoon sugar. Place milk in a warm place and wait until it bubbles.
  • Add in the rest of the sugar, melted butter and eggs then mix until well combined. Stir in flour and salt using wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
  • Place dough hook on stand mixer and knead dough for about 7 minutes on medium speed or until the dough does not stick to the bowl anymore. YOu may also knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes just until the dough is soft.
  • Transfer the dough to a big well oiled bowl then cover with damp towel. Place in a warm place and allow to rise for about an hour or until the dough doubled its size.
  • Transfer the dough to a well floured surface and roll out into a rectangle (35x20cm or 14x8 in). Spread filling over the dough then tightly roll the dough up starting from the longer side.
  • Cut the rolled dough into about an inch using a sharp wet knife or floss.
  • Place rolls in a greased pan (rectangular or round baking pan). Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 175°C. Bake cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until just slightly golden brown (Do NOT overbake). Allow to cool before frosting.
