Thermomix recipe: Morning Cinnamon Buns

Step 1

To make the dough; In a small bowl, mix yeast and sugar with a small amount of the water to activate the yeast.

Step 2

Place flour, salt, butter, water and yeast mix into the Thermomix bowl and mix **6 sec/speed 6**.

Step 3

Knead **10 min/Interval**.

Step 4

Tip dough into a lightly greased large bowl. Cover and set aside for an hour.

Step 5

To make the filling, place all ingredients into the Thermomix bowl. Combine *20 sec/speed 5*.

Step 6

On a floured bench, roll dough out into a large, thin rectangle. Spread filling all over, leaving a strip bare at the top of dough.

Step 7

Roll up swiss roll style. When you get the the end, brush a small amount of water on the bare edge of dough and continue rolling to seal. Place seam side down.

Step 8

Grease 2 x 12 hole muffin tins generously with soft butter. (We mean generous, no scrimping here!)

Step 9

In a small bowl mix sugar, cinnamon, salt and orange zest together. Divide between muffin holes.

Step 10

Using a serrated knife cut 1cm wide scrolls and place in the muffin tin. Cover and let rise till double in size.

Step 11

Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake for 15 minutes. Tip out of trays immediately or you will find them difficult to get out when cold.

Step 12

Serve hot, preferably with a morning beverage of your choice. They freeze really well. Then simply reheat in a hot oven until fragrant and voila, fresh buns all over again.
