Steps
To make the Dough -
In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with sugar and yeast. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Keep aside.
Add the butter and oil to the flour and mix using a paddle or use your hand instead.
Add the milk mixture along with lemon juice to the flour, knead well until smooth.
Cover the dough and keep it in a warm place to rise, for 1 or 1 and half hour.
Making the Filling -
Mix all ingredients together and keep aside in a cool place.
Making the Glaze -
Mix all ingredients together and keep aside in a cool place.
Making the Cinnamon Rolls -
Roll into a rectangle to make bigger rolls.
Spread the filling over the roll out dough.
Roll it up from the longest side, roll tight but not too tight. Pinch the seam tightly.
Cut ¾-1 inch rolls from the dough.
Place the rolls in the baking dish. Cover with a damn muslin cloth. Let them rest in a warm place in the baking dish for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180C/360F. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until they're golden brown.
For the Glaze -
Cool slightly, loosen the edge with a knife, demould it.
Brush with the Glaze mixture evenly over it.
Serve immediately.
Tips:
Instead of vegetable oil you can replace that with 1 egg for tasty if not vegetarian.
You can use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour.
Use white vinegar instead of lemon juice if the lemon is not available.
Always preheat the oven before baking the rolls. It will take an oven 20 minutes to preheat.
How to make
Simply start with making the dough and let rise. Once it is has risen the filling is simple to mix together and spread over the dough. Let rise and take a break to wrap presents, sing Christmas music or simply lay down. Next bake and smell your home as it is filled with sweetness. Lastly, drizzle the glaze over top of the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm.
Watch the glaze fall into the cracks and in-between the cinnamon rolls getting hooey-gooey. These cinnamon rolls are SO good and just melt in your mouth. Trust me! These cinnamon rolls will not last long and are always a huge hit!
