These are so awesome. The best thing is that you can make them early in the evening, and let them go through their first rise, shape them before bed, and pop them in the oven for 20 minutes first thing in the morning for delicious scrolls. You can also freeze these, and just take out what you need and warm for five minutes. They're probably not your healthiest breakfast choice, so maybe a once a week treat!
Ingredients
100g sugar/caster sugar
350g warm milk (2 cups)
2tsp fast action yeast (7 grams)
80g butter
650g white bread flour (bakers flour)
1tsp salt
1 egg
⅔ cup brown sugar (can use more if desired)
2 tsps of cinnamon (can use more if desired)
¼ cup butter
Instructions
Pulverise the sugar (3 seconds, speed 9)
Add milk, warm at 50C for 2 minutes on speed 1
Add yeast, butter, flour, salt and the egg into the bowl, and mix well (10 seconds on speed 7)
Knead for until a rough dough has formed (3 minutes on interval speed)
Cover a bowl with clingfilm, and leave to rise for about an hour.
After dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl roll out thinly. You may need to do this in two batches.
Leave to rest for a minute, while you blend together the butter, sugar and cinnamon. (10 seconds, speed 7)
Spread over the rolled out dough.
Starting at the longest end, roll the dough, and press the dough together at the end.
Now you have two choices:
Cut the dough across into 2 or 3 centimeter rounds and place on a baking tray, or
Place the dough in a round pan, and cut halfway through the dough to make a 'tear and share' kind of pull apart bread.
Leave it again for 30 minutes to one hour till it's doubled in size again.
Heat your oven to 200C /390F/Gas Mark 6, and bake for approximately 20 minutes - a little longer if you're making the share bread, until they are golden brown.
Notes
No Thermomix? Use caster sugar, warm the milk in the microwave or on the stove.
