instructions
-
Step 1.
Prepare the filling by combining all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl, then set aside.
-
Step 2.
Heat the milk and sugar in a small pan (or microwave) until just warm. Remove from heat, add the butter and leave to melt.
-
Step 3.
Sift the flours and salt into a large mixing bowl, add the yeast and mix until combined.
-
Step 4.
Add the tepid milk & butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a dough, either by hand or using the hook attachment on a stand mixer.
-
Step 5.
Knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, and when you push a finger into the side it bounces back.
-
Step 6.
Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, while you clean up and line a 20cm baking pan with baking paper.
-
Step 7.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 30cm x 20 cm. Spread the tahini filling over the dough, then roll up the dough starting from the longest side.
-
Step 8.
Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the dough into equal pieces. Place the cinnamon rolls into the prepared baking tray and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 180ºC fan bake.
-
Step 9.
Bake the cinnamon rolls in the centre of the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the rolls have risen nicely and turned a golden brown.
-
Step 10.
Allow the buns to cool while preparing the glaze by combining all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Drizzle buns generously with the glaze, and serve.
