Instructions

Bread Rolls

  • In 200g of bread flour, add 10g of sugar. Mix well.
  • Warm the milk to around body temperature. Add it to the flour, mix to form a dough.
  • Cover with cling film and leave it for 2 hours at room temperature (or overnight in the fridge).
  • In 10mL of water, add ½tsp of sugar. Mix well and warm to body temperature.
  • Add 3g of yeast, mix a bit, and leave for a few mins to dissolve.
  • Take out the dough and add the yeast mix.
  • Knead the dough until smooth dough formed.
  • Add 10g of butter, and continue kneading until thin membrane formed.
  • Cover with plastic film and leave it to raise for 45 mins. (In the meantime, prepare butter spread and apples.)
  • On a flour surface, put the bread dough there. Press out all the air and leave it to rest for 15 mins.
  • Use a rolling pin, roll the dough to a rectangular sheet (around A4 size).
  • Spread the butter on top. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder.
  • Add the apples on top. Leave 5cm space towards the end.
  • Roll the sheet to form a roll. Cut equally to 4 parts and place it nicely in a rectangular mold. Cover it loosely with a wet damped cloth for 30 mins.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Bake in oven for 25 mins.

Butter spread

  • In the 45g softened butter, add 30g brown sugar. Mix well.

Apple cubes

  • Chopped an apple into small cubes. Put it in some salt water until ready to use. (Putting in saline water can prevent the apples from browning).

Icing

  • In 20g of icing sugar, add a pinch of vanilla essence.
  • Add a tsp spoon of milk, stir well. Repeat until it reaches a runny consistency.
  • Pour the icing on top of the freshly baked cinnamon rolls.
