Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 1 serving
- 120 g butter, softened
- 12 g ground cinnamon
- 2 orange zest
- 60 g brown sugar
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 260 g milk, lukewarm, soy milk works
- 25 g yeast
- 500 g All Purpose Flour
- 20 g Bread Flour
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 7 g salt
- 7 g cardamom
- 80 g butter, softened
- egg wash
Preparation
- Step 1Mix all ingredients for the cinnamon filling and set aside at room temperature.
- Step 2 · 5-10 minutesHeat the milk until lukewarm and add the yeast and let bloom for 5-10 minutes.
- Step 3In another bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
- Step 4Add milk/yeast mixture and softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until shaggy and then dump out onto the counter.
- Step 5 · 8-10 minutesKnead for 8-10 minutes until elastic and smooth. Try not to add too much flour to the surface—it will be sticky in the beginning but it will come together once kneaded.
- Step 6 · 1 hourCover in a bowl for one hour or until doubled in size.
- Step 7 · 1 hourRoll out the dough to a 45x55cm rectangle. Smear the filling on only one half of the dough. Shape the cinnamon rolls and let rise for 1 hour.
- Step 8Brush with egg wash, or use a 1:1 mixture of soy milk and honey for an egg-free option.
- Step 9 · 180°C / 356°F · 15 minutesBake at 180C/350F for around 15 minutes on the middle rack. For extra golden color, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Notes
- Egg-free option: use a 1:1 mixture of soy milk and honey instead of egg wash
- Soy milk works in place of regular milk
- Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a nice golden brown color—just watch carefully to avoid burning
- The dough will be sticky at first but will come together as you knead; try not to add too much flour
- No egg is needed in the dough itself
