Description
Soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with a sweet marmalade and cinnamon mixture, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients
- 300ml whole milk, warm
- 50g unsalted butter, melted
- 7g sachet fast action dried yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Whitworths for Baking Caster Sugar
- 500g strong white bread flour
- 1 medium egg
- Vegetable oil (for greasing)
- 100g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g Whitworths for Baking Light Soft Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 150g fine cut marmalade
- 150g icing sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk (for icing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and melted butter. Add the yeast, sugar, and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the flour, salt, and egg. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle approximately 40x30cm.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon the marmalade evenly over the top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log, then cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased or lined baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4).
- Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Mix the icing sugar with enough milk to make a thick but pourable icing, then drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Use fine cut marmalade for easier spreading and even distribution.
- For extra indulgence, top with cream cheese frosting instead of simple icing.
