Toffee Cinnamon Knot Breakfast Rolls
Toffee Cinnamon Knot Breakfast Rolls. Sweet sticky rolls that perfect enjoyed with a good cup of coffee!
Ingredients
For the dough
- 4 cups flour
- 1 envelope of instant yeast
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup real dairy butter, slightly softened and near room temperature (NO SUBSTITUTES) Cut butter in about a dozen small pieces
- ½ cup whole milk (or for even richer brioche substitute undiluted evaporated milk)
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the glaze
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon water
For the cinnamon sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
To prepare the dough.
- In a stand mixer add the flour, salt, yeast and sugar.
- Add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract and mix together just until the flour is incorporated. The dough will be quite tough and lumpy at this point, this is normal.
- Using the dough hook attachment for your mixer begin adding the pieces of butter as the dough turns in the bowl. Continue until all of the butter is incorporated into the dough.
- Continue kneading until the dough is very smooth and elastic. Do not add additional flour.
- Cover and let rest and rise until double in volume.
- Turn the dough out into a lightly floured breadboard and knead for about 5 minutes before forming the dough into 18 individual balls.
- Let the dough balls rest for a few minutes before hand rolling each one into about a 8 inch rope shape.
To prepare the toffee glaze
- Grease 18 muffin tins.
- Bring all of the ingredients, just to a boil until the sugar is dissolved.
- Divide evenly into the bottom of the greased muffin tins.
To put the knots together.
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar
- Roll the dough ropes in the cinnamon sugar and tie each one in a single knot.
- Place the knots in greased muffin tins with the toffee glaze poured in the bottom of the cups.
- Allow the dough knots to rise for at least an hour or until they more than double in size.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool in the pans for a couple of minutes then turn them out onto a large platter. Best served warm.

I Barry: I have your books and enjoy the recipes coming along daily. What a fabulous post to subscribe to. Could these cinnamon knots be baked without the sweet sticky roll sauce in the muffin tins or perhaps on a lined baking sheet? A family member has to cut back on sugar and syrups and his favourite is cinnamon rolls.
