Cinnamon Rolls

Crumble the yeast into a mug with cold milk and let it soften for a minute.

Measure flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl and mix with a whisk. Stir the milk with yeast, as it will have settled at the bottom, and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the egg and start working the dough. Once everything looks like coarse crumbs, add the cold butter cut into cubes in two or three batches. Knead with your hands or in a food processor until the dough is soft, smooth, and non-sticky – this will take about 5 minutes in a food processor, or about 10 minutes by hand.

Prepare the filling: mix softened butter with sugar and cinnamon and stir with a wooden spoon or beat in a food processor until a slightly fluffy and well-mixed consistency is achieved. The better you cream the butter with sugar and cinnamon, the easier it will be to spread on the dough.
