Introduction

Cinnamon rolls are a classic breakfast pastry that is loved by many. The sweet and spicy aroma of cinnamon and the soft, fluffy texture of the dough make these rolls a perfect start to any morning. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to make cinnamon rolls from scratch using a UK recipe.

Ingredients

For the dough:
  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 7g fast-action yeast
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 40g unsalted butter, melted
  • 300ml warm milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
For the filling:
  • 100g unsalted butter, softened
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the icing:
  • 100g icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, yeast, caster sugar, and salt. Mix well. Step 2: In a separate bowl, melt the butter and warm the milk. Add the beaten egg to the milk and mix well. Step 3: Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the melted butter and milk. Mix well until a dough is formed. Step 4: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Step 5: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with cling film. Leave it to rise for approximately 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. Step 6: Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Step 7: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle shape. Step 8: Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Step 9: In a small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the buttered dough. Step 10: Roll up the dough tightly and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Step 11: Place the rolls in a greased baking tray and leave them to rise for another 30 minutes. Step 12: Bake the rolls in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Step 13: In a small bowl, mix together the icing sugar and milk until a smooth icing is formed. Step 14: Once the rolls have cooled, drizzle the icing over them.

Tips and Tricks

  • When rolling out the dough, make sure it is not too thin or too thick.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the rolled dough into equal pieces to prevent flattening.
  • If the dough is not rising, place it in a warm area, like near a window, and cover it with a towel.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavour, increase the amount of cinnamon in the filling.
  • For a more indulgent treat, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
  • Once the rolls are baked, let them cool slightly before adding the icing to prevent it from melting and becoming too runny.
