Ingredients
Dough:
-
4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
2 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
-
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
-
1 cup whole milk, warmed
-
1 large egg
Filling:
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
-
4 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing dough)
Topping:
-
Double cream (for pouring after baking)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and dried yeast.
-
Add melted butter and stir to incorporate.
-
Pour in warm milk and mix well.
-
Add egg and stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead briefly, brush dough with oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
-
After rising, knead dough for a few minutes on a floured surface.
-
Roll into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
-
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for the filling.
-
Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
-
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice into individual rolls.
-
Place rolls in a baking dish or on a sheet, spaced slightly apart.
-
Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
-
Remove from oven and pour a little double cream over each roll for a moist, rich finish.
Notes
-
Letting the dough rise fully ensures soft, pillowy rolls.
-
Double cream adds a luxurious touch and keeps the rolls extra moist.

Optional: Add a drizzle of icing or cream cheese glaze after baking
