• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 75 g granulated sugar
• 25 g active dry yeast
• 250 ml milk
• 75 g unsalted butter
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 100 g brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp water

Method

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well.

3. 3

   Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and knead until a soft dough forms, about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, and roll up tightly.

6. 6

   Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal slices and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Beat the egg with water and brush over the buns.

8. 8

   Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
