Ingredients
Method
Bread
- Add 200g all-purpose flour, 5g dried active yeast, 5g salt, 10 g cane sugar and 150ml semi-skimmed milk into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly using hand until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and begins the hand-kneading process for 10 minutes until the dough gets more elastic and less sticky.
- Then, add 20g unsalted butter to the dough and continues kneading until the dough is smooth and silky. (Hand kneading refers to - fold the dough, pull it apart, put it back together, bang it against the surface and repeat the whole process again.
- Place your dough back into a mixing bowl and set aside for proofing purposes for 1 hour for it to rise.
- After 1 hour, transfer the dough onto your work surface and punch it down to remove gas bubbles formed by the yeast.
- Let it rise for another 15 minutes. Whilst waiting, mix 15g cane sugar with 10g cinnamon powder in a small bowl.
- Then, knead the dough for 5 minutes to release additional gas bubbles.
- Use a rolling pin (lightly floured) to spread the dough into a rectangular shape.
Filling
- Spread 10g melted butter evenly onto the flattened dough.
- Use a tablespoon to sprinkle the sugar mixture and rub it gently using your hands to make sure it is spread evenly onto every bit of the dough.
Portioning & bake it up
- Roll it up and press the dough tightly to seal the end.
- Cut it into 12 pieces and transfer it onto a muffin tray or bread tin.
- Grease your muffin tray/ bread tin with olive oil before transferring your cinnamon roll pieces onto the trays.
- Bake them in an oven preheated to 200°C for 15 minutes.
Frosting
- Mix 20g confectioner's sugar with 30g cream cheese and stir it thoroughly before transferring them onto a piping bag.
- Spread your cinnamon rolls with the frosting and enjoy!
