Another breakfast opinion is the good old cinnamon roll. Cinnamon is one of my favourite spices and I love it cause it reminds me of sweet and wonderful apple pie my mother makes. My mom knows exactly how to take a recipe and breathe life into every element to make it the best dish ever!
Here is my recipe for a quick cinnamon roll.
Ingredients:-
- Flour – 3 cups
- Salt – 1/2 tsp
- Butter – 2 tbsp ( melted)
- Sugar – 1/2 cup (powered)
- Yeast – 2 + 1/2 tsp
- Milk – 1/2 cup
- Egg – 1
- Cinnamon Powder – 3 tbsp
- Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
- Butter – 1/4 cup
- Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup
- Cream Cheese – 225 gms
- Cream/ Milk – 1/2 cup
- Sugar – 1/2 cup
Instructions:-
- Firstly heat the milk till lukewarm. then add sugar and mix well. Then add yeast into the milk + sugar mixture and set aside till nice and foamy
- In the bowl of your food processor, add 2 + 1/2 cups of flour , salt and run the mixer just once
- Once the yeast mixture has foamed well, while the processor is running on low, slowly add the milk yeast mixture to the flour
- Then add the butter and egg
- Process the dough till it forms a nice ball. Sticky when pinched but holds together. Empty the contents of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead for another 3 – 4 mins
- Now drop this dough into a lightly greased glass bowl for it to rise. Give it an hour or 2
- Now for the filling combine the vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon powder and set aside
- Preheat your oven to 180 C
- Once the dough is ready roll to out on your lightly floured counter top. Try rolling it out into a big square
- Now lightly butter the surface of the rolled out dough
- Evenly spread the cinnamon powder mixture al over the butter surface of the dough
- Now gently roll the dough in wards to form a long roll
- Slowly cut the dough into equal circles ( I used a thread)
- Finally line the inside of your baking dish with baking paper and arrange the cut cinnamon rolls and lightly butter the tops of the rolls for that golden crust
- Let the rolls sit for another half hour for them to rise again. Once they have increased in size pop them into the oven
- Bake for 25 – 30 mins
- While the rolls are baking, cream together the cream cheese , sugar and milk. Set aside.
- Once the rolls have baked, let them cool off on a cooling rack
- Once cooled, grizzled the cream cheese over the rolls
- Enjoy
