Newfoundland Style Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

NEWFOUNDLAND STYLE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter and the sugar until well incorporated.
• Add the egg and beat into the butter and sugar.
• Next, add the milk and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and beat well to combine.
• When a dough is formed, place the dough into the fridge to cool for 15 minutes.
• While the dough is cooling, whisk together the brown sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.
• Once the dough has cooled, half the dough and roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/16th of an inch thick. Try to get the dough into a square shape - it won't be perfect!
• Use a pastry brush to brush half of the butter over the surface of the rolled dough.
• Sprinkle half of the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
• Carefully lift the dough slightly from one end and begin rolling the dough into a long cylinder, working your way down the side of the rolled dough. Try to roll as tightly as possible without breaking or tearing the dough.
• Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the rolled dough into one inch slices. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving two inches of space between each roll.
• Next, whisk together the egg and the water. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top and side of each cinnamon roll.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
• Repeat with the remaining half of dough.
