Eggless Cinnamon Rolls

Photobucket

The smell of cinnamon while baking is the best of all the aromas I have ever experienced and loved. :) Most of you would agree to me!

The spice is so delicious when added to both savory and sweet dishes. Its such a versatile spice which I fell is not very well used here in India.

I have fond memories of eating cinnamon rolls from mcrennett. They make a large roll which can be sliced into veges and served. Their rolls had the cashew flavor and I wanted to have it in mine too :) Dad used to get us the cinnamon roll and veg puffs for snacking and I have just loved it so much that the moment I recollect it, I'm able to bring back the taste in my tonge :) yummy :)

Sugar - 50 gms

Method:

Clean your work surface ( Kitchen slab is good enough).

Sieve the all purpose flour on the work surface and make a well in the center.

Tip in the yeast, sugar and salt in the center. Add 1/2 cup of lukewarm water on top of the yeast and rub with your fingers until the yeast, salt and sugar dissolve in the water. Now gently push in the all purpose flour and kneed well. Add more of lukewarm water and kneed until everything comes together into a sticky dough.

Now pour the melted butter on the dough and kneed well incorporating air into the dough. This is simply done by stretching the dough to a feet long and folding it into half, incorporating air in the center. Keep doing this by rotating the dough in both the directions. You need to kneed the dough for 15 mins in this method for best results.

Grease a large bowl with butter and place the dough in it. Wrap with cling film and keep it in a warm place for one hour or until it doubles in quantity.

Once it doubles, knock the air out and roll it into a 1/4 inch large rectangle with the longer side facing you.

Apply butter lightly on top of the rolled dough and sprinkle sugar, coarsely ground cashew powder and cinnamon powder evenly over it and roll it into a long spiral bread.

Slice them into 2 inch pieces and place them in a greased baking pan. Once again allow it to raise for 1/2 an hour.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180°C.

Bake the rolls for 20 - 25 mins. Until it is well puffed up and light brown on top.

Enjoy the delicious cinnamon rolls :)
