Using my ‘Basic Sweet Bread Dough’, ‘Cinnamon Rolls’ can be made as easily as cookies. The extra work you have to do is roll out the dough, spread the Cinnamon & Sugar mixture, then roll up. Once you have done it, you would know that it’s much easier than you think. Today I added Apple. They smell amazing!

Steps

1

Warm Milk slightly, add Yeast and stir, then set aside for 5 minutes.
2

Combine Bread Flour, Sugar, ground Cardamom Seeds and Salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the Yeast mixture, Egg (save 1 tablespoonful for glazing) and melted Butter. Mix well to form a soft dough.
3

Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, gradually adding extra Flour as required, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4

Cut Apple into 5mm cubes, cook in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon Water until slightly softened. Set aside and cool.
5

Place Sugar, Cinnamon and melted Butter in a small bowl and mix well. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 3-4mm thin. Spread Sugar & Cinnamon mixture, scatter Apple pieces and Sultanas evenly. Roll up and cut into 16 slices
7

Place on a baking tray. Set aside in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat oven to 180℃.
8

Gently brush with remaining Egg, then bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. *Note: You may wish to dust with Powdered Sugar or drizzle with Icing. Find how to make Icing at https://cookpad.wasmer.app/uk/recipes/12698827-cinnamon-rolls
