How to Make Our Favourite Cinnamon Buns
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 1 large egg, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until well combined.
- Gradually add another 2-3 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough up from the long side into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Arrange the cinnamon roll slices in the prepared pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toffee topping: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Drizzle the warm toffee topping over the baked cinnamon buns immediately after removing them from the oven.
- Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
