I'm on a roll! I was trying to do some work at home but ended up baking instead. I've got a pile of recipe books with a list of recipes I want to try. Next up was Cinnamon Rolls. It looked interesting to make and besides I already had all the ingredients in my kitchen cupboards.
First sifted the flour and sugar into a bowl and stirred in the yeast and salt. Made a well in the middle, poured in the tepid milk, egg and melted butter, and stirred to make a sticky dough.
Kneaded the dough until it was elasticated and smooth. Added in the raisins and cinnamon and continued kneading. Then divided the dough into about 20 even pieces. Shaped each piece into 20-25cm strands, flattened them.
Mixed the sugar and cinnamon together to sprinkle on each strip of dough. Then rolled them up tightly into spirals. Lightly oiled 3 baking trays and then put rolls on them. Covered with oiled cling foil and left them for a hour to double in size.
Preheated oven on gas mark 5, brushed rolls with milk to glaze. Then baked for 30-40mins. Then transferred them to a wire rack. Made a glaze with icing sugar, water and vanilla essence. Finally, brushed the rolls with the glaze. Again yum!
