Cinnamon Bun








    I love cinnamon bun, we can buy it from the market or bread shop, however the bread seemed lack of ingredients and not so tasty, soft and mosit.. so i want try to make my own cinnamon bun this time. The bun looks sucessful, but it a bit hard at the edges, i search the internet and find out the reason of hard edge at outer layer may be due to over bake, to make the bun softer and moist, you can add more egg yolk, or reduce the baking time by 5 min, once remove from oven, brush it with melted butter and cover with aluminum foil to avoid the bun become dry.

    Here is the ingredigrents:

  1. 3 cups of bread flour or all purpose flour
  2. 3 tablespoon of sugar
  3. Half tsp of salt
  4. 1 1/2 tsp of instant dry yeast
  5. 1 cup of milk
  6. 1 stick of butter, melted, to add to dough
  7. 1/2 stick (4 tablespoon) of butter to spread on the flatter dough
  8. 1 egg
  9. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  10. 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoon of cinnamon powder

Mix all ingredient (1-8 )together with mixer or kneat by hand until it doesn't stick to your hand (refer to the Chinese steam bun picture), let it rest for 15-20 min. at warm place to let it rise. Roll the doug to flat rectangular (10'x15'), brush in 1/2 stick butter, spread on the cinnemon powder with brown sugar. Roll up the doug from the long end. Cut it into small piece, place to the baking pan, and let it sit for 20 min before turn on the oven to 375F to bake for15-20min.
