Cinnamon rolls

ShareSave

Cinnamon roll- people who are crazy about cinnamon, adore these. One whiff of this roll baking in your oven and it will bring your whole family to the dinner table by just its heavenly smell.
 
This cinnamon roll is topped with sugar frosting and sometimes with cream cheese. I have shared both the recipes, you can frost with whichever pleases your tongue. Goes without saying that the one with cream cheese is definitely richer and yummier.
They are soft, cinnamony and sweet. A perfect combination of flavours if you love cinnamon.
 
Wake up and smell the rolls!! not just any roll!! CINNAMON ROLLS!!

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon to form a loose dough.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap to rise for an hour.

4

After it has risen, turn out onto a floured surface and knead it all in for 5-10 minutes.
Take about the dough and roll it out into a rectangle.

Preparing the filling
5

Make the filling by mixing:
40 gms sugar

Using a silicon brush cover the rolled out dough with a thin layer of melted butter.
sprinkle liberally all over with the cinnamon sugar mix making sure all corners and center is covered.

Starting from the long side corner, fold/roll the dough up and close like you would roll a swiss roll until you reach the next corner.

Now take the sharpest knife you have and cut the roll into 2 to 2 1/2 inch sections.
Place them in a greased pan almost touching each other. Let these rise about 20 minutes and put them into the oven at 200 C for about 15 minutes till top is golden brown.

Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches a pourable, but still thick, consistency.
