Ingredients

Dough

110 grams (½ cup) water

2 ¼ tsp yeast or 1 packet

65 grams ( 1⁄3 cup) and 1 tsp sugar

800 grams (4 cups) flour

1 tsp salt

245 grams (1 cup) milk

4 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

1 tsp lime juice

Filling

1 stick butter

215 grams (1 cup) light brown sugar

2 tsp maple syrup

3 tsp light corn syrup

5 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

Mix water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in bowl and allow 3-5 minutes to proof

Add flour, sugar, salt, milk, melted butter, vanilla bean paste, and lime juice

Mix on low till combined, then turn up and mix until the dough can pass the windowpane taste

Put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, allow to prove ideally in the fridge overnight or for 2 hours at room temperature

Melt the butter for the filling on the stove, add the remaining filling ingredients

Cook until it is bubbling slightly, allow it to cool to just over room temperature before using

Roll the dough to a 12-inchx24-inch rectangle, it is easiest to roll if the dough starts cold

Line a pan with parchment paper, glass or ceramic pans are better than metal

Spread the mixture over the dough, make sure it reaches the edges

Roll the dough the long way to form the cinnamon rolls

Cut into 1-inch pieces, it is easiest to use unflavored floss, but you can use a sharp knife

Place the rolls into the lined pan, they should be touching at the edges but not crammed

Allow the rolls to prove for 30-60 minutes

Bake for 18-25 minutes at 350 degrees
