Our cinnamon buns are the thing people ask about most. This version works in a home oven and makes twelve.
Ingredients
- 500g strong white flour
- 7g fast-action yeast
- 60g caster sugar and 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 250ml warm milk, 1 egg and 80g soft butter
- For the filling: 120g brown butter, 100g light brown sugar, 2 tbsp cinnamon
Method
- Knead everything but the filling for ten minutes, then prove for an hour.
- Roll out to a 40 by 30cm rectangle, spread the filling over it and roll up tightly.
- Cut into twelve, prove for 40 minutes and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.
- Brush with sugar syrup as soon as they come out.
Roll tighter than feels right. A loose bun opens up in the oven.
