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.)
Sticky cinnamon brown sugar breakfast ring
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
- 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.
