Instructions
Whisk the milk, sugar and yeast together. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl then mix until combined.
Add the egg and butter.
Knead for 5 minutes until the dough starts coming away from the side of the bowl.
If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tbsp flour and knead in.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic.
Place in the fridge and allow to rise overnight.
Remove the dough and allow to come to room temperature for 1 hour.
Combine all the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle approximately ½cm thick, on a floured surface.
Spread the cinnamon sugar mix onto the dough then roll tightly into a long roll.
Slice into 5cm thick rolls then place in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°.
Place the rolls into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden brown.
To make the icing, whisk together all the ingredients (you can do this step in a food processor too) until smooth and combined.
When the rolls come out of the oven, cover with the icing then allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
