Cinnamon Buns

I'm very bad at making breads or buns. Anything that comes with yeast. Somehow, the dough doesn't work. It's 'kanelbullens dag' (Cinnamon Buns Day) yesterday and hubby made these. Well, all of us get to play in the kitchen. :)

Ooooooo

Roll it flat and slather with butter

Top with cinnamon, sugar and chocolate shavings (my version)
Hubby: That's not original

Smells so good!

Ingredients
150g butter-cut into pieces and at room temperature
5dl milk
50g fresh yeast
100g sugar
1/2 tsp salt
800g flour

Filling
150g butter-room temperature
100g sugar flakes
2 tbsp cinnamon powder
Chocolate bits (optional)

Method

1. Warm milk till 37 degrees. (lukewarm)
2. Crumble yeast with your fingers till small crumbs in a big mixing bowl.
3. Pour over milk and stir till everything is melted and blended.
4. Add in butter, sugar and salt.
5. Add the flour into the mixture but save 1/2 cup for rolling the dough later.
6. Knead the dough at medium speed for about 5 minutes.
7. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for 30 mins. 
8. Gently leave the dough up from the mixing bowl and knead gently on a floured surface.
9. Divide the dough into 4 portions.
10. Roll out each portion into an oblong shape.
11. Slather with butter and top up with sugar, cinnamon powder or chocolate bits.
12. Roll it up gently. 
13. Cut off the uneven left and right sides. Then cut the rest into pieces in your desired size. About 1 cm in width.
14. Put all on a baking pan and cover it with a cloth for about 40mins.
15. Do the same with the rest of the dough portions.
16. Egg wash the buns and sprinkle sugar flakes before putting into the oven.
17. Bake at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes or till golden brown.
18. Voila!
