How to make Old-Fashioned Cinnamon Rolls:
- To make sweet cinnamon buns, firstly pour warm milk in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow to proof in the warm milk for about 10 minutes till frothy.
-
Next add the sugar, salt and soft butter to the bowl and whisk well.
- Then gradually add flour and beat thoroughly to form a soft dough. Use a damp towel to cover the dough. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- While the dough is resting, mix brown sugar and cinnamon powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Dust some flour on the work surface to keep the dough from sticking and then turn out the dough on the lightly floured surface.
- Flour the rolling-pin and roll out the dough into a rectangle.
- After this, use a spatula to coat the entire dough rectangle with a thin layer of softened butter.
- Then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon uniformly over the buttered rectangle.
- Roll up the cinnamon-brown sugar sweet bread tightly into a cylinder, making sure to seal the edges as best as you can and then cut the rolled-up dough into ¾ inch pieces.
- Place the swirls in a greased baking tin. Cover the swirls with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let rise to almost double in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile pre-heat the baking oven.
- Once the swirls have risen and are nice and puffy, remove the foil or plastic wrap.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven (190C) for 25 minutes till golden brown.
- Serve light and fluffy Cinnamon Rolls warm with a drizzling of cottage cheese or plain icing or even salted caramel.
