Start by making the dough:
Roll out the dough and add the filling:
Bake the cinnamon rolls:
Meanwhile, make the chocolate frosting:
- Measure the milk into a jug or bowl and microwave for roughly 40-60 seconds. The milk needs to be 40°C/110°F to properly activate the yeast. If you test it with your finger, it should feel like warm bath water.
- Pour the warm milk into a large bowl of an electric mixer.
- Sprinkle the yeast on top of the milk and let it rest for 1 minute.
- Now add the melted butter, sugar, whole egg and egg yolk. Use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together.
- Add the white bread flour and salt. Use the wooden spoon to work the mixture into a rough dough.
- Attach a dough hook to your electric mixer and fix the bowl to it. Turn the speed up to medium to knead the dough for 8 minutes. It should be smooth, shiny and springy to the touch. If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for 10 minutes.
- Lift the dough out and lightly brush the inside of the bowl with oil. Place the dough back inside and cover with a warm tea towel.
- Place the bowl in the warmest part of your home (an airing cupboard or next to a radiator is always a good spot) and leave to prove for roughly 45-60 minutes until the dough has doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, line a medium-large rectangular baking tin with greaseproof paper.
Roll out the dough and add the filling:
- Press the dough down with your fist to knock out some of the air.
- Lightly flour a worktop and rolling pin and roll the dough out into a 14L × 9W inch rectangle.
- Rub the softened butter into the dough, leaving a 1 cm margin around the edge.
- Stir the light brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl, then scatter it on top of the butter and rub it into the dough.
- Chop up the Monty Bojangles Truffles into small chunks and scatter on top.
- Starting from the 9inch edge, tightly roll the dough up into a log shape. Use your hands to squish the sides together so the roll is compact.
- Cut the roll into 1-inch sections, you should get between 8-10 cinnamon rolls in total.
- Place the rolls into the baking tin, leaving a little space between each so they have space to rise during the second prove. Depending on the shape and size of your baking tin, you should be able to fit 8-10 rolls inside.
- Cover the baking tin with a warm towel and leave to prove for another 30 minutes.
Bake the cinnamon rolls:
- Pre-heat your oven to 170°C/350°F (fan assisted).
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Remove and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the chocolate frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, icing sugar, cream cheese and melted truffles together until smooth.
- Spread the frosting over the cinnamon rolls.
- Finish by decorating with the Cake Angels Salted Caramel & Brownie Fudge Chunks Posh Toppers.
- Tuck in and enjoy!
