zarhooie encouraged me to post this here, despite the massive lack of actual measurements. I've tried to fill in guesstimates and American equivalent ingredient names where I could.

My kid is nomming on these cinnamon sticky buns right now, with intense nomminess. It's not a supersoft airbread recipe like the candy-type sticky buns from the baker's; there's a lot more bite and mouthfeel to it.

I found a couple of spoons today, and it's school holidays, so we baked!

Dumped a load of the usual into the bread machine on "Dough" cycle - a wholemeal poppyseed recipe (wholemeal flour, white flour, yeast & salt - follow your bread machine recipe or whatever you usually do), but with a shake of caster sugar (superfine sugar. I have no idea how much. Quarter of a cup? Less?) and a handful or three of sultanas. I also added a couple of teaspoons of orange juice as an extra booster, as it was 80% wholemeal flour, which doesn't tend to rise quite so well.

Once the dough was done, the Lad came and helped. We punched down and kneaded the dough briefly on a floured board, then pressed the dough out into a rectangle. We spooned on melted butter (replace with Nuttelex or coconut oil for a vegan alternative), and sprinkled it generously with a mix of cinnamon and caster sugar (a small bowl of sugar, about 2-3 tablespoons of cinnamon).

Then I rolled it up, pinched closed, cut out 2-3 cm thicknesses, and we set the spirals out into a greased and sugared baking pan.

We ladled a little excess melted butter onto the spirals (you could glaze with egg I guess), then covered with plastic wrap and placed into the oven just on the "light on" setting to rise for an hour.

Then baked at 180 deg C for 25 minutes, and out!

Here they are, unglazed.

I made a glaze of icing sugar, milk, and a little vanilla, once they were cool, and drizzled it over. Measurements were again vague - a small bowl of icing sugar (confectioner's sugar, I think), three tablespoons of milk (adjust for texture), and a half teaspoon of Queen's vanilla bean paste.



Enjoy!
