I just love cinnamon rolls, i have already shared a whole wheat version. But i wanted to make a basic cinnamon roll recipe always and finally i made it few days back and it was delicious.
Rising Time : 2 hour
Makes : 12 to 15 buns
All Purpose Flour / Maida - 2 cups + more
Sugar - ¼ cup
Milk - 1 cup or as needed
Dry Yeast - 2 tsp
Egg - 1
Unsalted Butter - ¼ cup
Salt - ½ tsp
For Topping:
Soft Unsalted Butter - ½ cup or as needed
Sugar - ½ cup
Cinnamon Powder - 2 tsp
Raisans a handful
For Icing:
Icing Sugar / Confectioners Sugar - 1 cup
Milk - 2 to 3 tblspn
(MY 1 CUP MEASURES 240 ML)
Method:
Take flour, salt in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Melt butter in a pan, add in milk, sugar and whisk well. Touch and see whether the temp of the milk is luke warm. It has to be very warm, if it is hot then the yeast will die.
Once the mix is warm, sprinkle over the yeast and set aside for 5 mins. Now it will be all activated.
Now whisk it well and add in egg and whisk well.
Now add in flour and mix to a sticky dough.
Now cover the dough with a plate and let it rise on a warm spot for 1 hour or till it is doubled in size.
Now Make the cinnamon sugar. Mix sugar and cinnamon till it is mixed.Set it aside till use.

Hi, your bread looks delicious!!! I only have wholewheat bread flour. Will it work about the same or will it be more dense… Let me know what you think.

Hi Aarthi , I have a little confusion. After melting the butter , do we have to keep the heat on while mixing the milk ?? At what point , do we take the milk off the heat ??
