Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

For the Dough

500g White Bread Flour
7g Easy Bake Yeast
1 Free Range Medium Egg
1½ tsp Salt
75g Golden Caster Sugar
275ml Milk (whole)
50g Unsalted Butter (Diced)

Plus

125g Unrefined light muscovado sugar
100g Butter (unsalted) (soft, Plus extra for greasing
1 tbsp Cinnamon (ground)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Method
  1.  Bring the milk to the boil, then remove from the heat and add the butter. Leave to cool until it reaches hand temperature. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a big bowl. Mix the milk and the beaten egg into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon.
  2.  KNEAD Tip onto a lightly flour-dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer).
  3.  RISE Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel, and leave to rise until doubled in size – up to 2 hours depending on how warm your kitchen is. Mash together the 100g soft butter, light soft brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
  4.  SHAPE Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Knockback the dough by gently kneading just 5 times to get the air out. Roll into a 25 x 40cm rectangle and spread over the cinnamon butter. Roll up tightly from one of the long sides like a swiss roll, then cut into 12 even pinwheels slices. Put one, cut-side up, in each hole of a buttered 12-hole muffin tin (try to use a deeper muffin tin if available).
  5.  PROVE Cover the dough again with a clean tea towel and leave to prove for just 5 minutes.
  6.  BAKE Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes until golden. Leave the buns to cool for 20 minutes in the tin, then lift onto a wire rack and eat warm or cool.
