Silvia Colloca Instagram – I’m here for the buns, not the frosting. When I buy them, I scrape it off! When I bake them, all my love goes into making the softest dough!
Ingredients
For the dough:
¾ cup buttermilk
2 ¼ teaspoons active yeast
¼ cup white sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup butter, melted
3 cups bread flour or 00 flour plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon salt
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
For the filling:
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup butter, softened
1 beaten egg for brushing
Place buttermilk into the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. Add in sugar, egg and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Add flour, zest and salt and mix gently with until a rough dough begins to form.
Place dough hook on stand mixer and knead on medium speed for 5-6 or until smooth and slightly sticky. If it feels too wet you can add a little extra flour, 1-2 tablespoons.
Transfer dough ball to a well-oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Allow dough to rise for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.
After dough has doubled in size, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 40×30 cm rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
Roll up the dough starting from the longer side side and place seam side down. Cut the log into 6-8 disks, depending how big you want them.
Place cinnamon rolls in a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes. Wheat up your oven to 190c, static, and brush the rolls with beaten egg. Bake for 30 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. Serve warm, as they are of with butter and jam! | Posted on 26/Jan/2024 02:43:12
