I am not a big fan of cinnamon but once in a while I crave for it. So one day I decided to experiment with my mom " brioche" recipe and make some cinnamon rolls instead of a big braided brioche.
600 gr flour
70 gr butter
1/4 liter milk
2 eggs
1 cube (~25gr) of fresh "pizza" yeast melted in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar
lemon zest
1 pinch of salt
I literally dump all the ingredients together into the bread machine and let the machine go for about 20 minutes. I guess you could also use a stand mixer for about 10 minutes and work the dough later by hand for another 10 minutes! Cover with a napkin and allow to rest for at least 2 hours or until the dough doubles in size in a warm place.
Now, you can either make a big braided brioche (quantities above are enough for two big ones) or many small rolls.
To make the cinnamon rolls:
Melt a stick of butter (~100 gr). Add couple of tablespoon of cinnamon powder to the butter. Make a roll with the dough. Make an incision with a knife and spread the cinnamon butter into the incision. Close the incision by pinching the dough and roll. Place on a baking sheet and brush with more butter. Cook in a pre-heated oven at about 150 degrees C for about 30-40 minutes.
This recipe was given to my mom by my cousins Marialuisa and Cristina!
