Mary Berry Cinnamon Rolls are a classic sweet bread bake inspired by traditional European enriched doughs. They rely on yeast for softness, butter for richness, and cinnamon sugar for their signature aroma. Unlike heavy buns, these rolls stay light, balanced, and not overly sweet, making them ideal for serving warm straight from the oven with tea or coffee.

Ingredients

  • Strong white bread flour for structure and chew

  • Fast-action yeast to ensure a steady rise

  • Whole milk for a soft, enriched crumb

  • Unsalted butter for richness and flavor control

  • Caster sugar to lightly sweeten the dough

  • Ground cinnamon for warmth and aroma

  • Soft brown sugar for a caramel-like filling

  • One egg to enrich the dough

  • Icing sugar and milk for a smooth glaze

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough – Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt, then add warm milk, melted butter, and egg to form a soft dough.

  • Knead until smooth – Work the dough for 8–10 minutes until elastic and slightly springy.

  • First prove – Cover and rest in a warm place until doubled in size.

  • Roll and fill – Roll into a rectangle, spread with butter, and scatter cinnamon sugar evenly.

  • Shape the rolls – Roll tightly from the long edge and slice into even portions.

  • Second prove – Arrange in a tin and allow to puff up before baking.

  • Bake to golden – Cook until lightly golden and fragrant, then cool slightly.

  • Glaze gently – Drizzle icing over warm rolls so it melts into the swirls.
