Cinnamon Buns



Buns

● 220g strong bread flour

● 250g plain flour

● 2tbsp brown sugar

● 10g salt

● 7g fast action yeast ( packet)

● 300ml oat milk

● 1tbsp oil


Bun filling

● 2tbsp oil

● 4tbsp brown sugar

● 2 tbsp ground cinnamon


Glaze

● 2tbsp oat milk

● 2tbsp brown sugar

● 1tsp cinnamon


Mix the flour, salt, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Pour in the lukewarm (not cold!) oat milk and stir everything together with a

large wooden spoon. Then add the oil and integrate.

When the mixture has mostly stuck together, turn the mixture out onto a

work surface or bread board.

Knead the mixture by holding one end of the dough in one hand and

stretching it out with the other hand. You then reform the dough, turn it 90

degrees and start again. Repeat this for 10 minutes.

When the dough is shiny and smooth, put it in a large mixing bowl, coat in a

thin layer of oil and cover the bowl with a tea towel.

Leave this in a warm place for between one and two hours (until it has

doubled in size).

Empty the dough out onto a work surface and push the air out with your

fingertips.

Roll the dough flat until it is 40-45 cm wide and 18-20 cm high

Coat the dough with olive oil making sure to cover the entire dough.

Sprinkle a layer of sugar on the dough and then a layer of cinnamon – these

will stick to the oil.

Starting from the bottom, roll the dough tightly so that at the end you have

one horizontal “dough snake”

Cut the dough into 12 segments, which comes out around 3-4 cm per

segment

Place the segments horizontally (like a tree trunk) on an oiled baking tray,

leaving 1-2 cm between each bun. If you can fill the baking tray, this is ideal

Leave the buns (covered with a kitchen towel) to prove again for another

hour. During this time preheat the oven to 180° C / gas mk 5

Place the buns in the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes.

While the buns are baking, create the glaze by warming the oat milk, brown

sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan.

Take the buns out of the oven when they are lovely and golden, and glaze

them while they are still hot. Try to use all of the glaze, and let it seep into

the buns and the gaps between them.
