I've just taken it out of the oven and it doesn't look too bad. However,
I think I used too much Nutella and next time it will only be a very thin smear on each layer. I don't think my grandson will complain:-) https://postimg.org/image/3tp16isfl/ The enriched dough recipe was for a fairly standard cinnamon bun and 2 different sources quoted the same proportions. Here is the recipe using metric weights etc. google for cups. 450g AP flour 70g sugar pinch of salt 180ml milk (full fat) IMO this is not enough!! 2tsp instant yeast 2 egg yolks 30g softened butter Nutella Method (I used a food processor - thankfully!) Warm the milk for 30secs in the MW Add the yeast and whisk to dissolve. Put the flour sugar and salt in the FP and mix briefly. Add the egg yolks and blitz to disperse. With the motor running, add the milk mix in a steady stream to form a dough. At this point I had to add extra milk as the all I had was a bowl full of large crumbs. I added extra until it produced a dough then added the soft butter and processed until it was incorporated. With the extra milk I ended up with 852g of dough which I divided into 4x213g pieces that I kneaded into balls and put into separate oiled bowls for the first rise. After rising, I rolled each piece out into a 10" disc. And at this point it is better to follow this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwvYmBo_bN4 One can use other fillings such as cinnamon/sugar mix and there are savoury versions too. It looks somewhat difficult but it isn't and I'll probably make this again with the help of my grandchildren. Graham |

Understandable: "SUGAR, PALM OIL, HAZELNUTS, SKIM MILK, COCOA, SOY LECITHIN AS EMULSIFIER, VANILLIN: AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR" Palm oil is a big environmental no-no. And then there's "artificial flavor". Could be ground up bedbugs. |

I could discern no hazelnuts at all, they must have driven by a hazelnut grove with that awful chocolate. The chocolate, to me, is terrible and I dearly love chocolate; this was terrible. |

You just have to reduce the leavening agent a bit and increase the oven temperature by 10-20F. I'm at ~3500' and I have had to change the classic English Victoria Sponge recipe by using about 30% plain to 70% SR flour to prevent the sponge from collapsing. |

I seem to be rather clueless at getting that right on a regular basis. Maybe because we moved here from a much lower elevation - 3,200 feet. > I'm at ~3500' and I have had to change the classic English Victoria > Sponge recipe by using about 30% plain to 70% SR flour to prevent the > sponge from collapsing. Thanks for that. The book we work with is certainly some help, but it's always a bit of a guessing game when I get to making a floury mess.... %-/ https://www.amazon.com/Pie-Successfu...SIN=0060522585 |

That looks absolutely gorgeous
![]() Well done, and lucky grandkids ![]() "graham" wrote in message news ![]() I've just taken it out of the oven and it doesn't look too bad. However, I think I used too much Nutella and next time it will only be a very thin smear on each layer. I don't think my grandson will complain:-) https://postimg.org/image/3tp16isfl/ The enriched dough recipe was for a fairly standard cinnamon bun and 2 different sources quoted the same proportions. Here is the recipe using metric weights etc. google for cups. 450g AP flour 70g sugar pinch of salt 180ml milk (full fat) IMO this is not enough!! 2tsp instant yeast 2 egg yolks 30g softened butter Nutella Method (I used a food processor - thankfully!) Warm the milk for 30secs in the MW Add the yeast and whisk to dissolve. Put the flour sugar and salt in the FP and mix briefly. Add the egg yolks and blitz to disperse. With the motor running, add the milk mix in a steady stream to form a dough. At this point I had to add extra milk as the all I had was a bowl full of large crumbs. I added extra until it produced a dough then added the soft butter and processed until it was incorporated. With the extra milk I ended up with 852g of dough which I divided into 4x213g pieces that I kneaded into balls and put into separate oiled bowls for the first rise. After rising, I rolled each piece out into a 10" disc. And at this point it is better to follow this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwvYmBo_bN4 One can use other fillings such as cinnamon/sugar mix and there are savoury versions too. It looks somewhat difficult but it isn't and I'll probably make this again with the help of my grandchildren. Graham -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I don't like cinnamon in those quantities - the smell in mall food courts where there is a C/bun stall is sickening to me. I have been thinking of a Canadian version where I paint the dough with syrup and sprinkle maple sugar over it for texture. Graham |

Your Canadian version sounds interesting. Big grain sugar and even salt is good on baked goods. |

A few years ago I tried Emeril Lagasse's recipe for Tarte au Sucre. I called for maple sugar, which I happened to have a small bag of. The pie was incredible so I went to the local maple farm to replace it and I was floored by the cost. I modified the recipe and used dark maple syrup instead. |
