  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas mark 6.
  • Grease a 23cm square baking tin.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle measuring approximately 40cm x 30cm.
  • For the filling, mix together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the surface of the dough.
  • Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly to form a long sausage shape.
  • Cut the dough into slices approximately 2.5cm thick and arrange in the greased baking tin.
  • Cover the tin with cling film and leave to prove in a warm place for a further 30-45 minutes or until the rolls have risen and are touching each other.

Notes

Make sure the milk is not too hot when you add it to the dry ingredients as this can kill the yeast.
You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough if you prefer.
For a softer cinnamon roll, you can add a tablespoon of honey to the glaze.
