If you like Cinnamon Buns but find those selling outside too expensive, you may wish to consider making your own. I use the bread machine to knead the dough thus it is quite simple to make. If you do not have a bread machine, you can also do the normal kneading by hand or use the mixing machine with the dough hook.
Here's the recipe for the dough:
1 cup of warm milk
2 eggs at room temperature
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
Do not spread the softened butter on the whole dough. Leave a small portion to seal up the roll.
Filling ingredients: 3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup softened butter
Glaze (optional) 125gm softened cream cheese
30gm softened butter
50gm icing sugar
A pinch of vanilla
2 tablespoons of Lemon or Lime or Orange Juice
Method :
1. Place all the dough ingredients into the pan of your bread machine, select "Dough" and press start.
2. After the dough cycle has been completed, punch the dough to let out the gas created by the yeast. Cover dough and let it rest for about 10 mins.
3. In the meantime, prepare your filling. Combine the sugar and cinnamon.
4. Cut your dough into smaller portion so that it is easier to work with. Roll out the dough, spread some softened butter and then sprinkle evenly the cinnamon sugar mixture. Cut evenly the rolled dough, cover and let them rest for about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C for about 10-15 minutes before baking your buns at 15 minutes or till they are done.
6. Remove from tray and place them on a rack to cool.
7. Now you can prepare your glaze. Cream together the glaze ingredients.
8. Drizzle the glaze over the baked buns and enjoy :)
