Cinnamon Rolls

Salam barakah wal jumaah,

Ewah...hmm...hari ni tekak ni masih terasa-rasa nak makan cinnamon, dah macam orang mengidam pulak. Nak buat apple pie, baru je beli apple dah habis kena ngap ngan bebudak ni. So belek punya belek resipi, jumpa resipi ni.

Again, resipi ni dari The Big Book of Baking. Alhamdulillah, dah hampir 1/4 resipi dalam buku ni yang di cuba dan semuanya menjadi dengan rupa dan rasa yang sedap. 

Yelah, kengkadang resipi dalam buku resipi ni bukan semua nak menjadi sebab tak pernah tengok orang lain cuba kan but this book so far belum mengecewakan lagi. Tak sia2 bayar £5 hihi..

Ok, jom tengok resipi.

Ingredients :-

Dough
350 g self raising flour
pinch of salt
2 table spoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
100 g butter melted
2 egg yolks
200 ml milk plus extra for glazing

Filling
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
some chopped walnut (I put this)
55 g soft light brown sugar
2 tablespoon caster sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Icing
125g icing sugar, sifted (I reduced to 90 g only)
2 tablespoon cream cheese softened
1 tablespoon butter, softened
about 2 tablespoon boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method :
Dough
1. Preheat the oven to 180C or gas mark 4. Grease an 8 inch cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
2. Mix the flour, salt, caster sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3. Whisk the butter, egg yolks and milk together and combine with the dry ingredients to make a soft dough.
4. Turn out onto a large piece of baking paper lightly sprinkle with flour and roll out a rectangle measuring 30x25 cm.
5. For the filling : Mix all the ingredients, spread evenly over the dough and roll up, swiss roll style to form a log.
6. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even sized slices and pack into the prepared tin.
7. Brush gently with extra milk and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
9. For the Icing: Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Place the cream cheese and butter in the centre, pour the water and stir to mix. Stir in the vanilla extract. Drizzle over the roll.

Hmm..walaupun nampak macam banyak bahan nak disediakan dan banyak step nak kena buat tapi sebenarnya it is so simple, tak sampai berjam2  pun nak buat. The taste is just nice, not too sweet even though the icing is a lil bit sweet but it just compliment the whole thing and I put walnut in the filling so it is crunchy to bite and the dough is just soft.

Overall, memang puas hati lah. I even bought to school for my classmate and it's gone in a second. They like the taste being an American, Russian and Columbian..hihi..

 Selamat mencuba.
