Sometimes you just feel like something comforting and tasty, and it’s even better when you know how to make it yourself…

Dough

225g Strong White Flour

5g Dried yeast

25g Caster Sugar

45g Butter (cold and cubed)

100ml full fat milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

½ medium egg

Filling

12.5g melted butter

50g light brown sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Method:

Sift flour, add caster sugar and yeast, mix together.

Rub butter through to make breadcrumbs.

Gently warm milk, add the milk, egg and vanilla to the flour mix.

Knead for 7-10 minutes, or use mixer with dough hook for about 4-5 minutes.

Place in oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise for about 2 hours.

Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and put aside, then melt the butter.

Once risen, roll into a flat rectangle, brush with the melted butter, and then sprinkle with the sugar/cinnamon mix covering the entire surface area.

Then, roll it longways into a chunky log and press down and slightly flatten. Next, cut down the middle of the roll and twist each strand over itself like a plait, and twist as you go. Tucking in the ends once finished. Then place in an oiled loaf tin to rise again for another 30 minutes to an hour before baking.

Cook in oven at 160°c for 50-60 minutes or until done.
