Introduction
Cinnamon buns are a popular pastry all over the world, and for good reason. Their sweet and spicy flavour, combined with their soft and fluffy texture, make them a favourite treat for many. In this article, we'll be sharing a delicious cinnamon buns recipe that you can easily make at home in the UK.
Ingredients
To make cinnamon buns, you'll need the following ingredients:
500g strong white flour
7g fast-action yeast
50g caster sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
50g unsalted butter, melted
250ml whole milk
1 egg, beaten
For the filling:
75g unsalted butter, softened
75g light brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Make the dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Step 2: Knead the dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a clean, oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 3: Make the filling
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 4: Roll out the dough
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle shape, about 1cm thick. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 5: Roll up the dough
Starting from the long edge, roll up the dough tightly, like a Swiss roll. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into slices, about 2cm thick.
Step 6: Bake the buns
Place the slices onto a greased baking tray, leaving a little space between each one. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/gas mark 4. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
