Cinnamon bun recipe

Ingredients

7g package dry yeast

1 cup warm whole milk (1 minute in the microwave made it perfect)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup margarine

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup bread flour

Filling

1 cup light brown sugar

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1/3 cup margarine

Method:

• For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
• Add sugar, margarine salt, eggs, and flour, mix well.
• Knead the dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour.
• Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approx 21 inches long by 16 inches wide.
• It should be approx 1/4 inch thick.
• To make filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Spread the softened margarine over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the surface, leaving about 1″ untouched around edges.
• Gently roll into a fairly tight roll, trying to keep the filling inside.
• With a sharp knife, slice into 12 pieces.
• Place on parchment lined cookie sheet about 2″ apart, cover with lint-free cloth, and let rise for another hour.
• Bake in 200 degrees c on rack just above centre, for about 10 minutes, or until light golden brown.

To make the glaze zest and juice one orange. Slowly add juice and zest to 5 tbsp of sifted icing sugar – It should be easily pore-able. Pore glaze over warm buns.
