Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1

Preheat fan-forced oven to 180°C (350°F), and line baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Dough

• In the bowl of an electric mixer with dough hook attachment, combine the milk together with melted butter, sugar and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Add whisked egg to milk mixture and combine, then add the flour and salt and knead until smooth dough forms (about 5 minutes).
• Lightly coat a bowl with cooking spray and place the dough ball there and cover it for an hour or until doubled in size.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 50cm (19inch) by 30cm (13inch) rectangle.

Step 3

Filling

• Combine the melted butter with cinnamon and brown sugar then brush this mixture over the dough, right up to all the edges.
• Beginning at the long side, roll the dough tightly into one cylinder. Slice roll into around 8-10 slices, each one around 3cm thick.
• Arrange rolls in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Step 4

Icing

• While baking begin making the icing.
• Combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
• Add the icing sugar and beat again until smooth.
• After the rolls have been baked, spread the icing over the rolls.
