Ingredients

Dough:

  • 4 – 4 1/2 cups of All-purpose flour or bread flour
  • 1 sachet of active dry yeast (7 grams)
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1/3 cup of butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 eggs

 

Filling:

  • 3 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder

 

Icing:

  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons of milk

 

Decoration:

  • red chocolate candies
  • leaves
  • ribbon

 

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, salt and water. Don’t let it simmer; we want this mixture to be warm, not hot. Otherwise, we have to let it rest until it becomes warm.
  2. Meanwhile, put the yeast and two cups of flour in a stand mixer bowl with the hook attachment. Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients and mix it a medium-high speed for a couple of minutes. Add the eggs and mix them well.  Then add the remaining cups into the mixture mixing well at medium speed after each addition, then let it knead for 8-10 minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can do the same in a large bowl mixing first with a wooden spoon and then when it gets heavier with your hands. Then on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it becomes a ball. Let it stand in a clean, greased bowl covered with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel for about an hour or until it doubles its volume.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter and cinnamon powder. Set aside.
  4. It would be best to roll the dough over a floured surface to make a rectangle when it has risen. Spread the filling evenly and make a roll starting from the long side of the dough. Cut both edges (usually uneven) and join the two ends to form a ring. Cut the rolls only 3/4, leaving the inner circle without touching them. They will remain united by the inner circle. Put them over a greased or buttered surface (or a pan with parchment paper) and let it proof again for 30 minutes with a plastic towel over the dough. If you are going to do it the day before, this is the time to put them in the refrigerator all night and let it at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before baking.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180C and bake them for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, prepare the vanilla icing by mixing the milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Pour the icing over the cinnamon rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
  6. Let it cool down for 15 minutes, and enjoy these cinnamon buns with your family.
