Mabon Countdown Day 9
Cinnamon Buns
I love cinnamon, and part of fall for me are apples, oranges, pumpkins and cinnamon.
So here is my receipe for cinnamon buns.
Ingredients;
Dough
300 ml warm water
7g yeast
25g granulated sugar (I use honey sometimes as well)
60g fat (olive oil, lard, vegetable oil, etc.)
1 1/2 tsp salt
406g AP flour
Filling - if you want more filling or like more or less cinnamon adjust accordingly
1/2 c butter
2 tsp cinnamon
Icing - the thicker you want this the less milk you add
½ cup confectioner's sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk, divided
¼ teaspoon vanilla
Method:
whisk warm water, yeast, and sugar together
let it sit for 5 minutes (I do this covered)
add fat, salt, and 128g of flour and mix until combined
add another 128g of flour, mix until relatively incorporated
add remaining flour (150g) and mix until dough pulls away from the bowl
knead for 3 min
place into a lightly greased bowl and let rise for an hour
knead it again for 3 min
let it rise for another hour in the greased bowl
punch down and roll out into a rectangle shape (about 1/4 inch)
add filling to rolled out dough
roll dough into a spiral shape and cut cinnamon rolls (1/2 in to 1 in thick
placed in greased pan (prefer a round one for cakes about 9 - 10 in)
bake at 350 for 22 - 25 min (check at the 25 mark it may need longer depending on the oven)
let cool
to make filling combine vanilla, sugar and 1tbsp of the milk (if it is not runny enough for you add another tsp at a time (3 tsp = 1 tbsp))
drizzle icing on rolls and enjoy!
