Ingredients
For the dough:
- 500 g bread flour
- 75 g caster sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 120 ml milk
- 60 g butter Unsalted, and melted
- 2 large egg
- 120 ml water
For the filling:
- 100 g butter Unsalted, and softened
- 100 g brown sugar Light
- 1 tbsp cinnamon Ground
For the glaze:
- 100 g icing sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Combine the flour, caster sugar, salt, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Grease a bowl, put the dough in it, and cover it with cling film. Leave it in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas mark 6.
- Grease a 23cm square baking tin.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to form a rectangle of about 40cm x 30cm.
- For the filling, mix softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough's surface.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a long sausage shape.
- Cut the dough into slices of approximately 2.5cm thick, and place them in the greased baking tin.
- Cover the tin with cling film and leave it in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until the rolls have risen and are touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown.
- For the glaze, mix icing sugar and whole milk until it becomes smooth.
- After the cinnamon rolls are cooked, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve them while they're still warm.

Notes
- Nutritional facts:
- The provision of nutritional information is done so merely as a courtesy and should not be taken as a guarantee.
- Make sure the milk is not too hot when adding it to the dry ingredients to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough if you prefer.
- Adding a tablespoon of honey to the glaze will make the cinnamon rolls softer.
