Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk 
  • 15g unsalted butter, melted
  • 400g plain flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant dried yeast

Method

1  Heat milk until warm. Ensure it is not boiling.

3  Sift flour into a large mixing bowl. Stir in yeast, sugar and cinnamon.
4  Make a well in the centre. Add milk mixture. Mix to form a soft dough. 
​5  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes.  
6  Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for 1 hour. Dough will roughly double in size.
