Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk, warmed
- 2 tsp Pams Active Yeast
- ¼ cup caster sugar
- 125g Pams pure butter
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups high grade flour
- 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup brown sugar
Method
- In a bowl or stand mixer, stir together the warm milk and active yeast. Add the caster sugar, 50g melted butter and egg, then mix to combine.
- Carefully add the flour, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead on high speed or with your hands until the dough is soft and stretchy.
- Transfer to a clean, greased bowl. Cover and leave to proof in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Once doubled in size, turn out onto a floured surface. Roll into a rectangle around ½ cm in thickness. Make the filling by combining the remaining butter, cinnamon and brown sugar, then spread over the rectangle; leaving a 1cm border at the top of the rectangle.
- Roll into a log, then place seam side down. Cut into 9 -10 pieces, then arrange in a greased baking dish 2 - 3cm apart. Cover and proof for 30 minutes, then bake at 200°C for 20 - 25 minutes or until lightly golden and bouncy to the touch. Leave to cool slightly then enjoy.
