Fluffy Cinnamon Buns
An easy recipe for fluffy cinnamon buns.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs room temp
- 112 g regular white sugar
- 40 g butter
- 45 ml oil
- 2 mugs warm milk
- 1 tbsp dry yeast
- 4 mugs flour
- brown sugar for filling
- cinnamon for filling
- butter for filling
Instructions
- Mix eggs with white regular sugar until it's fluffy. Mix on high speed. Add butter and mix well until fluffy and creamy.
- While mixing add salt, oil, and warm milk. When it's all well combined, sprinkle dry yeast on top of the mixture and cover with a piece of cloth. Let bubble for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes start mixing slowly and add flour - one mug at a time. The dough should get thick and sticky. Use a dough hook and knead the dough until it has a form of a sticky bowl.
- Prepare a bowl, big enough to let the dough rise. Pour a little bit of oil into the bowl and put the dough into it. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour or until it doubled in size. (I usually hide a bowl under the comforter because it gets quite hot in there.)
- Take the dough out of the bowl to a well-floured surface. Knead the dough by hand for 2 minutes by folding it in the center. Take it back into the bowl and let it rise again for 1 hour.
- After an hour, melt the butter for the filling. Take the dough out of the bowl to a well-floured surface. Roll the dough out until it's 0,5-1,5 cm thick. Brush it with melted butter, and sprinkle with a genuine amount of brown sugar and cinnamon. You can add the cocoa powder as well. Tightly roll the dough up and cut it into 22 pieces or more.
- Take a deep baking tin. Brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place cinnamon buns into the baking tin. They don't need much space so place them tightly next to each other so they have a nice round shape after being baked. Cover them with a piece of cloth and let rise for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes.
