Prep time: 30 min
Dough to rest:1.5hrs
Bake time: 20-25 min

Ingredients:

The dough

345g all-purpose flour
60g caster sugar
1tsp salt
7g instant yeast
180ml milk
45g butter
1 egg

The Filling

70g butter
1.5 Tbsp cinnamon powder
60g dark brown sugar

The Glaze

120g icing sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Method:

Mix all the dry ingredients for the dough together (flour, caster sugar, salt, and yeast).
Warm the butter and milk on the microwave for a minute.
Combine the dry ingredients with the warmed butter and milk. When they come together, add the egg.
Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes until it all comes together.
Rest the dough for 15 minutes covered by a towel.
In the meantime, mix all the filling ingredients together (butter, sugar, and cinnamon powder).
After 15 minutes, roll the dough into a large rectangle with a rolling pin.
Spread the cinnamon filling all over the dough.
Roll the dough gently a little bit at a time.
Cut the dough into 4-5cm lengths and put them into a round cake tin. Make sure there is lots of room around each one.
Find a warm spot and leave it for one to one-and-a-half hours to rest.
After the dough doubles in size, bake them at 170C for 20-25 minutes.
Prepare the glaze: mix all the ingredients together (Icing sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt) until it's smooth.
When the cinnamon roll comes out from the oven, brush the glaze all over the top of it.
Now, it's time to enjoy your cinnamon bun freshly baked from the oven.
