50 g warm water
100 g warm milk
50 g melted soft butter
50 g whole egg

Mix all of the ingredients. Knead on 2nd speed for 10 to 15 min. Place the dough in an oiled bowl. Cover with cling film. Leave to rise for around 90 minutes. The dough should double in volume.

FILLING
100 g soft butter
60 g sugar

METHOD:
Roll out the dough into a 50 x 50 cm square. Spread the softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Cover with cling film. Leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature. Bake in a convection oven at 200°C for approx. 12 min for baking in individual molds and 20 min for baking in a large mold.
