Description

These soft, fluffy Cinnamon Rolls are loaded with a rich cinnamon-sugar filling and finished with a pour of double cream for the ultimate gooey, bakery-style treat. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!


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

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and dried yeast.

  2. Add melted butter and stir to incorporate.

  3. Pour in warm milk and mix well.

  4. Add egg and stir until a soft dough forms.

  5. Knead briefly, brush dough with oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.

  6. After rising, knead dough for a few minutes on a floured surface.

  7. Roll into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

  8. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for the filling.

  9. Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.

  10. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice into individual rolls.

  11. Place rolls in a baking dish or on a sheet, spaced slightly apart.

  12. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

  13. 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
