Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar for filling
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter for filling
Method
- Mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
- Add warm milk, egg and margarine, then knead into a soft dough.
- Cover and let the dough rise until doubled.
- Roll out the dough and spread margarine.
- Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon evenly.
- Roll tightly and cut into pieces.
- Place in a tray and allow a second rise.
- Bake at 180°C for 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips for softer rolls
Use warm, not hot, milk. Very hot liquid can damage the yeast. Give both rises enough time and avoid adding too much flour while kneading.
Common mistakes
- Skipping the second rise, which can make the rolls dense.
- Using too little filling, which reduces flavour.
- Overbaking, which can dry the rolls out.
