Cinnamon rolls...

These deliciously sweet, doughy, cinnamon-ny rolls are time consuming but, worth the wait.  They're good for a sweet breakfast/ brunch, or afternoon tea with Mum and go perfectly with a cuppa! 

Start off with a basic dough mixture, flour, tepid water, your choice of yeast (I always use dry yeast), and salt.  Bring together and knead for around ten minutes.  You know your dough is kneaded enough if, when you push your finger into the dough, it springs back up. Once you're at that stage, put back into bowl and leave to rise for one to two hours, until doubled in size.

The filling is really very simple, just beat together 150g of softened butter, 125g dark brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.  This can be done whilst the dough is rising.  A simple glaze can also be made in this time.  Melt 150g of butter and 125g of dark brown sugar over a low heat. from 150g of butter and 125g of dark brown sugar.  It will form a sticky syrup which tastes divine!   

Once the dough has risen, remove from the bowl and roll out into a rectangle.  Spread an even layer of the filling over the dough. Roll up the rectangle tightly.  The dough can then be cut into even slices.  Brush the glaze over the rolls and allow to sit for one hour to rise.  Then pop into an oven at 200 degrees celcius for 40minutes and bingo! Cinamon rolls.

Enjoy!
