4tbspsoft brown sugar
3-4tbspsoft butter
Drizzle Icing
80gicing sugar
juice of 1 orange
Instructions
Weigh out the flour and sugar into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add salt to one side of the flour and yeast to the other so they do not come in direct contact with each other. Mix gently on a low speed.
Add the milk, egg and butter and mix with dough hook on medium speed until a soft dough forms, about 6-8 minutes. As this is an enriched dough it will be sticky - DO NOT add more flour or your dough will be too dry.
Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured board and form into a ball. Then place the dough into a lightly floured bowl, cover the bowl with clingfilm or a damp tea towel and let prove for about an hour or more until almost doubled in size.
Once proved, place the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and gently roll the dough into a large rectangle. After each roll, turn the dough a quarter of a turn to ensure it is not sticking to the surface.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Next, spread the soft butter generously over the rolled dough. Top the rolled dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture taking it as close to the edges as possible.
Starting on the longer end, roll the dough as tightly as you can to form a sausage shape. Cut into 12 even sized pieces and place in a butter greased 8x10 sized oven proof dish. Cover and leave to prove again until doubled in size. **At this stage you can refrigerate and finish the next day.**
Bake in a preheated oven at 200Fan for about 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Allow to cool before topping with icing.
Drizzle Icing
Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and then add the orange juice. You want a runny consistency but not too thin. If you add too much juice then you can recover by adding a bit more icing sugar, this icing keeps easily in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Using a piping bag or a spoon drizzle the icing over the cooled cinnamon buns.
