Assia's Cinnamon rolls

Method

• step 1

  In a large bowl , lightely beat the egg .

• step 2

  heat the milk with butter until melting . In the same time , dissolve yeast with sugar in warm water .

• step 3

  Pour the milk in the large bowl and whisk .

• step 4

  Add the yeast and beat .

• step 5

  Add salt , vanilla pudding ... see how it comes yellow and wonderfull :-)

• step 6

  Now add the flour .

• step 7

  Once the dry and wet ingredients are combined, turn off the machine, throw a towel over it and let the dough rest for 15 minutes before kneading. It will be quite sticky now.

• step 8

  That gives you time to finely chop the walnuts

• step 9

  Combine 1/2 a cup brown sugar with two tsp ground cinnamon.

• step 10

  Time to knead the dough : Knead it for 10 minutes cycle. Slowly the dough started to ball up. If your still looks sticky in the last, say, 2 minutes add some flour one tbsp at a time.

• step 11

  Let the dough rise for about an hour , punch it down and then continue with the steps !

• step 12

  Transfer the dough to a floured counter or cutting board.

• step 13

  Start rolling out. Form a rectangle.

• step 14

  lightly brush it with melted butter.

• step 15

  Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top, followed by the cinnamon sugar.

• step 16

  Roll it up and press the seams!

• step 17

  Now slice it. I turned it into 15 rolls. You can make thicker slices as well!

• step 18

  Transfer the slices to the battered baking tray. Give them a little room to rise, though. Place a towel over the tray and let them rise for an hour and a half.

• step 19

  At this point you can refrigerate the dough for anywhere from 2 to 24 hours. If overnight, the next morning remove the rolls from the refrigerator, take off the plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for 30 minute before baking.

• step 20

  Brush the top with some milk .. it will gives them a very nice color and will be crispy .

• step 21

  Bake them in a preheated oven at 180C for 15 to 20 minutes. I like them brown and crispy so I gave them the full 20 minutes , if you want them lighter and fluffied you should probably stick to 15 mins. Drizzle the frosting on top while they are still warm.
