Ubc Cinnamon Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Scald milk.
• Stir in 3 Tablespoons margarine, 3 Tablespoons sugar and 1-1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Cool to lukewarm.
• Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water.
• Sprinkle yeast over warm water.
• Let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes.
• In large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm milk mixture and eggs.
• Stir in dissolved yeast.
• Add half the flour and beat well for 10 minutes.
• With a wooden spoon, gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Knead until smooth and elastic, adding additional flour as needed.
• Place in well greased bowl and roll dough over to grease the top.
• Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down and turn out on lightly floured surface.
• Roll out into large rectangle (about 9" x 18").
• Make filling: combine 1/4 cup melted margarine, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon.
• Sprinkle filling on dough.
• Roll dough up, starting from the long side.
• Cut into 2-inch slices.
• Place remaining melted margarine in bottom of pan. (I use two pyrex pans: one is 13 X 9, the other 8 x 8).
• Arrange slices in pan and cover loosely with greased waxed paper.
• Let rise in pan until doubled in size, between 45 to 60 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
• Remove from oven; turn pan upside down so the buns fall out.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and salt; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, eggs and 1 1/2 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• While dough is rising, melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, roll into an 18x14 inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Scrape remaining filling from the pan onto the rolls.

Steps:

• 1. Put rolls ingredients in bread machine pan in order suggested by the machine manufacturer.
• 2. Select dough cycle. When cycle is complete remove dough from machine and put on lightly floured surface. (This is a soft dough.) Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• 3. Prepare filling: In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon.
• 4. Roll dough to a 14" X 9" rectangle. Generously brush with 2 TBSP melted butter. Place remaining 2 TBSP melted butter in bottom of 10" round baking pan.
• 5. Sprinkle dough evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up tightly like a jelly roll, pinch seam to seal. Remeasure and shape back to a 14 inch roll. With a sharp knife cut into 2 inch slices. Arrange slices in the prepared pan and cover loosely with greased parchment.
• 6. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size - about 20 to 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 or 45 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and invest onto serving tray. Makes 7 large cinnamon buns.
• 7. Note: for smaller cinnamon buns roll to a 12"X9" rectangle and proceed as above. Cut dough into 12 one inch slices and put into a 9 X 13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until done.

Steps:

• Make sure your starter is active - it should be nice and bubbly. If it isn't, feed it and wait until a tsp of the starter floats in warm water.
• Tip all the ingredients for the dough, except the butter, into a bowl and mix with your hands to form a shaggy dough - make sure all the flour from around the bowl is mixed in. Leave the dough in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth, for 30 mins.
• Work the butter into the dough with 1 tsp salt. Once fully combined, tip the dough onto a surface and knead gently for 5 mins until smooth and springy. Form the dough into a ball and sit back in the bowl. Cover and leave somewhere warm-ish for 3-4 hrs until the dough has just about doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, make the filling by beating together the sugar, butter, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Set aside at room temperature to keep soft.
• Butter and line a square baking tin - smaller tins (20 x 20cm) will hold nine buns, larger tins (25 x 25cm) will hold 12. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and roll it to a rectangle roughly 50 x 25cm. Spread the filling over the rectangle so it's completely covered. Roll the dough along the long edge into a tight swiss-roll type sausage. Cut your dough into pieces and arrange them, spiral side-up, in the tin. Leave for 1 hr at room temperature, then cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cover the tin with foil and bake on a baking tray (this will stop any leaking mixture dripping into your oven) for 30 mins, then remove the foil and bake for 10-15 mins more to brown slightly.
• Meanwhile, mix the golden syrup with 1 tbsp boiling water. As soon as buns come out of the oven, brush them generously with the syrup, then leave to cool a little. Lift the buns out of the tin while still warm and leave to cool on a wire rack. To make the icing, beat the soft cheese, sugar and vanilla until thick but drizzly. Drizzle over the buns when completely cool.
