The cinnamon buns are criminally easy to make and a crime for my waistline. My tastebuds however disagree, they say they're heaven and so a compromise must be reached. Twice a week I put in a cup of warm water, a beaten egg, two teaspoons of dried yeast, four tablespoons of sugar, a teaspoon of salt and a quarter cup of butter. Then I sieve three times the three cups of flour, mostly wholewheat, with a table spoon of vital wheat gluten. So easy, so quick. Once the dough is set the buns are inevitable. Rise for an hour, roll it out, cover in warm butter, sprinkle in cinnamon and sugar. Roll, slice, rise for two hours and bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Then then the family eats the lot fresh from the oven, no left overs. And God, doesn't the house smell glorious. Partnered with a cup of fair trade coffee it's the perfect guilty pleasure...
