🍩 How To Make Jamie Oliver Cinnamon Rolls

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk, stirring with a whisk. Beat 1 egg and add it to the mixture. Stir well.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the plain flour, wholemeal flour, ground cinnamon, and a small pinch of sea salt. Add the room temperature butter to the dry mixture and use your hands to crumble it.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the flour mixture and caster sugar to the milk mixture. Beat and add another egg, stirring to form a dough.
Knead the Dough: Stir until the dough comes cleanly from the edge of the bowl. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with oiled clingfilm, and leave to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: Chop the cranberries and grate the orange zest. Combine with room temperature butter, soft brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, divide it in half. Place each half on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a 12 x 16-inch (30 x 40 cm) rectangle. Spread the filling over each rectangle.
Shape the Rolls: Roll each piece of dough into a wide cylinder. Cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) slices. Line two baking trays with baking paper and lay the cinnamon rolls on top, pressing each one so they spread out slightly. Cover with oiled clingfilm and leave to rise for 20 minutes.
Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 220ºC (gas mark 7). Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the cinnamon rolls, then sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Glaze and Serve: Brush the warm rolls with warmed apricot jam or honey to glaze. Serve warm or cold.

💭 Recipe Tips

Warm Milk Temperature: Make sure the milk is lukewarm, around 100°F (38°C). Too hot can kill the yeast, and too cold can slow down the rising process.
Proper Kneading: Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. This helps develop the gluten, giving the rolls a nice, chewy texture.
Even Rolling: Roll out the dough evenly to ensure the filling is spread uniformly. This prevents some rolls from being too dry or too sticky.
Second Rise: Don’t skip the second rise after shaping the rolls. This step makes the rolls fluffy and light.
Glazing: Brush the warm rolls with apricot jam or honey right after baking. This gives them a beautiful shine and adds a touch of sweetness.
