Cinnamon rolls

Steps

1. 1

   Stir the yeast into the warm milk with a pinch of the measured sugar. Leave 10 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   Sift the flour and mix with the salt and remaining sugar. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix into a dough, then knead about 5 minutes until smooth.

3. 3

   Grease the bowl with oil, cover and let the dough rise about 30 minutes until puffy. Grease the baking dish with oil.

4. 4

   Roll the dough into a rectangle. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.

5. 5

   Cut into 4 equal strips and roll each piece. Place cut side up in the dish, cover and rise 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Preheat to 200°C, upper and lower heat. Pour the slightly warm cream over the rolls after the second rise. Bake on the middle rack; check from 12–14 minutes. Bake a few minutes longer if the centres look raw.

7. 7

   Beat the frosting butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in cream cheese and vanilla. Spread over the baked rolls while slightly warm; finish with caramel or strawberry sauce as desired.
