- Preparation: 120 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (115 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 50 g Flour, strong white
- 28 g Milk, whole, lukewarm
- 1.5 g Yeast, dried
- 3 g Sugar
- 6 g Butter, soft
- 0.3 g Salt
- 25 g Dark brown sugar
- 1 g Cinnamon, ground
Method
- Stir the yeast and the white sugar into the lukewarm milk and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the flour and salt, add the yeasty milk and the butter, and knead for 10 minutes to a smooth, soft dough. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour, until doubled.
- Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon and spread most of it over the work surface.
- Roll the dough into a rope about 40 cm long, then roll it through the sugar until it is coated all over, pressing the sugar in.
- Coil the rope loosely into a spiral and tuck the end underneath. Scatter the rest of the sugar on a lined baking tray, set the bun on it and leave to rise for 40 minutes. Heat the oven to 200 °C.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until risen and the sugar underneath has melted into a dark, sticky syrup.
- Leave on the tray for 5 minutes so the syrup thickens, then lift off. Best eaten warm, on the day it is baked.
