Spiced cinnamon rolls
Ingredients
For the cinnamon rolls
- 5 cups SASKO Self-raising Wheat Flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 cups milk
- 8 tbsp butter, melted, divided
- ¾ cup sugar, divided
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp salt
For the glaze
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Grease a rectangular oven proof dish with non-stick spray or butter and set aside.
To make the filling, mix ½ cup of the sugar and the cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and ginger powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
To make the dough, place SASKO Self-raising Wheat Flour and the remaining ¼ cup sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the milk and 4 tbsp of the melted butter and mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a surface dusted with SASKO Self-raising Wheat Flour and knead until the dough is smooth.
Roll out the dough into an rectangular shape with a dusted rolling pin until it is about 1 – 2 centimeters thick.
Brush 2 tbsp of the melted butter onto the dough and sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture evenly over the top, leaving a border of about 3 centimeters.
Roll the dough into a long log and pinch the seam together at the top.
Cut the dough into about 15 pieces.
Arrange the pieces with the cut-side up in the baking dish and brush the tops with the remaining 2 tbsp of melted butter.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
In the meantime, make the glaze by whisking together the icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl. Set aside.
As soon as the cinnamon rolls are removed from the oven and it has cooled down, drizzle the glaze over the top.
