Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

2 cups warm Milk

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Butter; melted

2.5 tsp Instant Yeast

5 cups Flour

1 tsp Baking Powder

1.5 tsp Salt

Filling

Ingredients

3/4 cup Butter; softened

3/4 cup Brown Sugar

2 Tbsp Cinnamon

Steps

Begin by combining the milk, sugar, butter and instant yeast in a bowl.

Next, add 4 cups of flour and stir until a wet dough forms.

Cover with cling film and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

After the dough has risen add the remaining 1 cup of flour, baking powder and salt.

Once roughly combined, bring onto a floured surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes. Kneading is important!! Knead all 10 minutes (it'll give you muscles💪🏻).

Preheat oven to 180°C/ 350° F.

Roll your dough out into a large rectangle, 1cm thickness.

For the filling combine the softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Layer the filling onto the dough rectangle and roll tightly. Cut the rolled dough into 5cm thick rolls and place into a greased dish.

Cover and allow the dough to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Bake the rolls at 180°C/ 350° F for 25-30 minutes.

When they are baked, allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
