Fruity Cinnamon Rolls

Posted June 11th, 2011 in Food 2 Comments »

D and I have been having a craving for sweet rolls these days…   It’s great to wake up in the morning with freshly baked bread with a cup of coffee, isn’t it?? 🙂

I made some with lots of dried fruits and a hint of cinnamon.

It’s was a pretty cold day, but it took only 2 hours to make these.

The texture is like between bread and … ummm scone?  muffin?  It turned out to be more like cake-type bread.

  • 4 cups plain flour

  • 10g dry yeast
  • 300ml milk, warm
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted

  1. Place all the ingredients from “a” in a bowl.  Using a dough hook, turn on the machine to mix the dough for 5 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.  You can knead by hands, too.
  2. Place dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 30 mins to prove, or until doubled in size.
  3. Punch down dough, remove from bowl and knead lightly.  Roll dough to rectangle .
  4. Sprinkle “b” all over dough.
  5. Roll up dough to enclose filling.  Cut into 2cm slices.  Place in a deep baking pan lined with baking sheet.  Prove another 30 mins.
  6. Preheat oven to 180℃. Bake for 20~30 mins, or until cooked.
  7. Place apricot jam in a heat proof cup and microwave until smooth.  While the rolls are hot, brush jam over top to glaze.

Serve warm or at room temperature. 🙂

    Bagelier is ok, not too busy which is good as I don’t have much free time with bub. I’m more concentrating on my new online business at the moment 🙂
