How to make a breakfast ring

Holidays = family + food, right? But here’s the thing, even though I love cooking and entertaining, I’m not so good at doing it in the morning. I’m definitely not a morning person and even less so when I know I have to feed a crowd. That’s why I make my life easy and sticky to easy-to-make, sure-to-please recipes that I can prep the night before and quickly cook/bake in the morning before serving.

This sticky cinnamon brown sugar breakfast ring is one of those recipes. It’s guaranteed to please a crowd and can be fully prepped the night before. Leaving you to switch on the oven, make sure there’s plenty of strong coffee and bake it off before serving. As a bonus, the buttery-sugary-cinnamony scent will waft through your house and make you look like even more of a boss.

(I used the same dough recipe from my Italian Bombolini post but any sweet/enriched dough can be used.)

Ingredients

1 x Dough (recipe link below)

Filling

¾ cup butter softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Cinnamon syrup

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup water
2 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch salt

Instructions

Make dough according to recipe.
Mix together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out to approximately 2cm thick (on a floured surface) then spread over the brown sugar mixture.
Roll into a tight coil then cut off the edges. Make a slit, all the way down the dough then braid the two halves together. Bring the edges together and pinch to form a ring.
Place the breakfast ring on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven.
Allow to bake for 35-45 minutes or until the ring is golden brown and cooked through.
In the meanwhile, combine all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
When the ring is baked, remove from the oven and brush with the syrup. Allow to cool for 15 minutes then slice and serve.
