Servings 6
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour/Maida
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon Instant Yeast
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Milk
- 40 g Honey ⅛ cup
- 2 tablespoon Melted Butter or Oil
- 2 ½ tablespoon Warm water
Filling
- 2 tablespoon Cinnamon
- 3 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Melted Butter
Glaze
- 2 tablespoon Milk
- ½ cup Caster sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Take a large bowl.Add the flour along with the salt and yeast on the opposite sides of the bowl so that they are not in contact.Now mix the dry ingredients.
- Heat the water,milk and butter in the microwave till it's warm and all butter has melted(warm not hot).
- Add the egg to the wet ingredients.If the milk mixture it too hot the egg will curdle hence make sure the temperature of the wet ingredients after heating is warm and not hot or boiling.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture in the dry flour, yeast and salt mixture.
- You will get a very wet almost cake batter consistency "dough".
- Cover with cling film and let it sit on counter for 2 hours for the first rise.The mixture will triple in size.
- After two hours keep the dough in the fridge for 12 hours(upto 3 days).This is when the gluten develops and gives softness to your buns.
- Remove from the fridge and leave on the counter for 5 minutes.
- Flour the rolling surface.Move the dough on the floured surface and roll it to ½ cm thickness using a rolling pin.This might be difficult and unmanageable but use loose dry flour generously and try to roll it as best as you can.(more the moisture in the dough,softer your buns).
- Mix all the filling ingredients.Spread generously on the flattened dough.
- Starting with the edge farthest away from you ,roll the dough into a log.Cut the log into 2 inch slices.
- Prepare a baking pan with butter or parchment paper.Arrange the rolls with the cut side on top.
- Cover with a damp towel and let them rise for 1 hour on the kitchen counter.
- They should have become one and a half times their size.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees till the tops are golden brown.
- Combine the ingredients of the glaze.Let them cool and come to room temperature before pouring the glaze on top of the buns.
Notes
Choose your pan such that there is space for the buns to expand while resting and also while baking.
Make sure salt and yeast don't come in direct contact
The more wet the dough the softer the buns will be.It's difficult to work with the wet dough,so use generous amount of dry flour on your hands and the rolling surface.
