Equipment
- 1 Measuring Scale
- Oven tray
- Bowls
- 1 Rolling Pin
- Spatula
- 1 Cake Comb
Ingredients
Dough
- 390 G Flour
- 180 G Milk Or Water
- 57 G Butter Or Margarine
- 1 Medium Egg
- 32 G Sugar
- 1¼ Tsp SaltSalt
- 1 Tsp Yeast
Fillings
- 90 G Soft Brown Sugar
- 57 G Butter Margarine
- 2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon Powder
Instructions
Filling
- Mix your brown sugar and cinnamon powder thoroughly. Set aside.
- Also set aside your softened butter/margarine for spreading later.
Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, and salt. Stir well. Then add the yeast and stir again.
- Create a well in the center of your flour mix. Add eggs and softened butter. Mix with your hands or a spoon to form a crumbly, breadcrumb-like texture.
- Make another well in the center and begin adding milk little by little. Mix until you form a slightly sticky but manageable dough.
- Transfer the dough onto your clean work surface. Knead for 4 minutes. You can use a slamming method (shown in the video) or a dough mixer for commercial quantities.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring about 18 by 15 inches.
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the rolled dough.
- Sprinkle your cinnamon-brown sugar mix generously across the top. Using an offset spatula or crank knife, press the filling gently into the dough for full absorption (watch this technique in the video).
- From the long edge, roll the dough into a snug log (not too loose). Slice into 12 equal portions using dental floss or a sharp knife.
- Place each roll on your prepared tray, leaving space between them for expansion.
- Cover and proof for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the rolls become visibly puffy.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool for 2–3 minutes, then remove them from the tray. Glaze with any topping of your choice—cream cheese, vanilla glaze, or just a light sugar syrup.
