Let's start the Fall season with this amazing and delicious warm bake- Cinnamon Roll! I still remember the first time I had this delicacy was in my early 20s (it was not so common in India as it is now)
So let's jump in step by step:
Ingredients:
AP Flour- 180 gms
Caster sugar - 25 gms
Salt-1/4 tsp
Instant yeast- 3.5 gms
Milk-60 ml (luke warm -not hot/ boiling)
Water- 30 ml
Butter- 1.5tbsp (room temp)
Egg- Half (room temp)
Vanilla Essence- 1/2 tsp
Filling:
Butter - 2tbsp (softened)
Light brown sugar- 4 tbsp
Cinnamon (as much as you like)
Frosting:
Cream cheese- 1/4 cup
Milk to soften
Icing sugar- 1.5-2 tbsp
3-4 tbsp Cinnamon
Lemon zest (optional)
Red Organic food color to mix it with the milk-1 tsp
Recipe:
In a bowl, weigh the flour.
In another bowl add in the warm milk, sugar, water, yeast and mix well
Add the milk mixture to the flour, then add in the egg+vanilla essence.
Knead till the dough comes together,add in the softened butter, knead. Finally add in the salt and knead till it passes the window pane test.
In a greased bowl, cover the dough and let it double in a warm place ( depends on the weather- it might take 1 hr , keep an eye)
Once doubled, roll out on a clean surface, dusted with flour. Spread the butter, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar and spread it out OR you could make a mixture of all the 3 and then just spread that out.
Roll into a tight log. Using a thread cut into equal pieces ( refer to the reel)
In a greased baking tray arrange the cut pieces and let it proof till it’s double ( I kept in the oven with the light on)
Brush with milk once doubled and just before baking.
10. Preheat the oven at 190 C for 20 mins and bake for 25 mins in the middle rack
Brush some butter for the shine /glaze.
For the Frosting, soften the cream cheese using a spatula. Add in the milk+ color mixture, add in the icing sugar and lemon zest.
Slather this on the cinnamon rolls and Enjoy warm :)
