Maple Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

We love these maple cinnamon rolls. They are perfect with a morning cup of coffee.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 180ml milk, warmed
• 375g plain flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 90g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 130g Pure Maple Syrup, Dark Robust
• Vegetable oil for greasing

Filling

• 40g unsalted butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Icing

• 200g icing sugar
• 3 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. Add the yeast and sugar to a medium sized bowl and whisk in 60ml of the warm milk, reserving the rest for later. Set aside until light and frothy.
2. Place the flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in the salt. In a separate bowl whisk the egg, maple syrup, remaining milk, and melted butter together.
3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix using a dough hook. Add the wet ingredients and continue to mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until elastic. Lightly oil the dough, cover, and leave in a warm place for 40 to 60 minutes until doubled in size.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knock it back, and roll into a rectangle approximately 27cm x 40cm. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
5. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough. Roll up tightly lengthways and cut into 2.5cm rolls using a lightly oiled knife.
6. Place the rolls on a lined baking tray, cover, and leave to prove for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
7. Preheat the oven to 190C or 170C fan. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
8. Mix the icing sugar and water until smooth and pipe or drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
