my first recipe. ever.
they're soft, fluffy, cinnamon-y and just amazing. seriously.
go and make them. do it.
warning: these are in no way healthy - but sometimes that's totally okay.
CINNAMON BUNS
(makes about 20)
500 grams of white bread mix (lazy...)
125 ml of lukewarm water
125 ml of milk
200 grams of softened butter
one egg
125 grams of light-brown sugar
1 tbsp of cinnamon (i love cinnamon so i usually add even more; just adapt it to your preference)
optional: a handful of raisins
|
mix the bread mix with the water, milk, egg and 50 grams of the softened butter. stir with a spoon and once it starts coming together, take it out of the bowl and start kneading on a floured surface until it is a nice, soft dough. let it rest for fifteen to thirty minutes.
for the filling, mix 100 grams of soft butter with the sugar and the cinnamon. it should be a paste, sort of like peanut butter, so if it is too crumbly, just add more butter.
take your dough out on a floured surface and shape it with your hands until it has a (sort of) rectangle shape. roll it out using a rolling pin, until it is a long, thin rectangle.
spread on your cinnamon-paste evenly. if you want to, now is the time to add raisins. just sprinkle them on top.
roll it up so that you have a long sausage. get a sharp knife and cut it in equal pieces of approximately two cm.
you can choose now to either bake them in a muffin tray, so that you have seperate buns or you can bake them in a cake tin, so that they bake up together and you can tear them apart.
grease your muffin tray/cake tin and if you use the muffin tray, put sheets of baking paper in them so that you can pull them out easily. if you're using a cake tin, you can sprinkle some sugar on it after greasing it, so that the bottom of the buns get that nice, caramelised effect.
bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 200 °C.

these are even better if you serve them with some very basic icing, made out of sugar and water/milk. you can coat them in icing or make a zig-zag pattern.
enjoy.
