Cinnamon Rolls



Cinnamon Rolls with Strawberry Fool and some fresh strawberries with whipped cream.

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour - 5 cups
Large Eggs - 3
Milk - 1 Cup

Dry Yeast - 1/4 ounce

Butter - 1/3 cup

White Sugar - 1/3 cup


For filling

Brown Sugar

Ground Cinnamon


Mix the flour and the yeast. Heat milk, butter and sugar. Remove from heat when the butter is melted. Mix it with the flour, yeast mixture. Add the eggs one by one. If you are mixing with an electric mixer attach the dough hook. Else use your hands. It becomes soft and non-sticky. If it still sticky add some flour. Let is stay for an hour in a warm place. The size doubles, so leave enough room for it.

After an hour, roll the dough in square using a rolling pin. Dont roll the dough thin as you roll for chapathi. It should be thick as Naan. Spread the sugar and cinnamon in the dough. You can add your own fillings like raisins or nuts. Its up to you. Now roll the dough as you roll a stuffed chapathi. Cut it onto 8 equal parts in a baking pan with enough room for it to rise. Cover it with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 - 24 hrs.

Remove from refrigerator an hour before you bake. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for about 25 mins. To avoid the over-browing cover it with a aluminium foil for the last 5 - 10 mins. After it is done brush it with half and half cream to make it moist.

Can drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze.
