Cinnamon rolls

Finally I got round to cooking again. February was a very busy and also a sad month.
So I was really glad to get back in the kitchen yesterday. I was inspired by Akemi's recipe of cinnamon rolls.


Dough
400 g flour
20 g fresh yeast
1/2 cup milk
40 g sugar
40 g boter, cut in small pieces and soft
pinch of salt
1 egg + 1 egg yolk

Filling
1 tbsp soft butter
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar (cane, brown, mascovado...)

Put the flour in a bowl and make a small hole in the middle.
Crumble the yeast with your fingers and drop it in the hole. Add 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp milk and a little flour to the yeast and mix all of this together.
Put the bowl in a warm spot, cover it with a kitchen towel and let the yeast mixture rise for 15 min.
Add milk, sugar, butter, egg and salt to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly with a wooden spoon or food processor until it forms a nice dough.
Put some flour on your workspace and knead the dough on it for 10 min. Drop the dough a few times on the workspace.
Put it back in the bowl, cover again and let it rise for 1-1,5 hr in a warm spot.
Give the dough a punch in the middle and knead it again.
Roll it into a rectangle which is 1 cm thick.
Spread the butter for the filling on it, then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top.
Roll the dough, starting on the longest side of the rectangle.
Cut it into slices of 2-3 cm.
Put those on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Cover it again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 min.
Put a little egg yolk on top of each roll for a nice colour.
Bake it in the oven at 190°C for 15-20 min.

Notes
My rolls were a bit dry. Next time I will roll out the dough a bit thinner, and use bigger quantities for the filling. I might also try another filling e.g. with hazelnuts or poppy seed. Recipes are welcome!
