This was a recipe I came up with over Christmas. I realise that the festive season is well and truly over now, but it is never too late to have cinnamon baked goods. It’s the weekend, so it is time for a treat – I shall be making these and pretending it is Christmas again!

Serves 6

Ingredients:

Rolls:

- 7g dried yeast

- 150ml warm water

- 180ml warm milk

- 0.5 tsp salt

- 20g butter

- 20g low fat yogurt

- Half an egg, beaten

- 2 tbsp honey

- 200g white flour

- 200g whole wheat flour

Filling:

- 1.5 tbsp butter, melted

- 60g brown sugar

- 2 tsp cinnamon

 

1) In a cup, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) Crumble in the butter and yogurt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4) Add the milk, yeast mixture, egg and honey and stir until a dough has formed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5) Put on a floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in a grease bowl for an hour until it has risen. Punch down and put back onto a flour surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6) Roll the dough ball out and cut out a rectangle around 14 by 8 inch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7) Spread on the melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roll up the rectangle and cut into 6 slices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9) Place cut side down and bake at 180C/350F for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10) Once cooled, drizzle with some ,low fat yogurt and sprinkle over a little more cinnamon.

I forgot to take a picture of the finished result – I think I was too excited to eat them.
