After all the all I feel like doing is staying home and baking These eggless cinnamon rolls can be made with pretty much any filling you like. I ve even used the recipe to make this Cardamom Wreath with Rose Drizzle and Candied Lemon Peel. You can add chocolate, dried fruit, nuts and any spices you fancy, making it as simple or as complicated as you like.

4 Lotte Duncan. It s so easy and utterly delicious. I fell asleep last night thinking about how I could put my own spin on it and here s what I came up with. Pillow-soft, buttery cinnamon rolls, encased around rich salted caramel infused with chai spices, fleur de sel and baked until golden on the outside. Drizzle with extra salted caramel, allowing it dribble into the swirled craters and down the sides. They re gorgeously sticky and incredibly moreish. Serve with a glass of cold milk.

Chocolate shavings, optional Method For the cinnamon roll dough, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and bring together using your hands. Knead for 10 minutes. Place into a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Leave to rise in a warm place for 90 minutes.

To make the filling, combine the softened butter, cinnamon, sugar and half of the cooled salted caramel sauce. Beat well. Heat the oven to 180C and line a large tray with baking paper. Once the dough has risen, knock it back and give it a good knead to remove all the air bubbles. This will ensure an even rise in the oven, maintaining the shape of the rolls. Half the dough as you ll be repeating the rolling process twice in order to make smaller rolls. Take one half of the dough and on a lightly-floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle until it s about 1/2cm in thickness. Spread the filling mixture all over the surface. From the longest side, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Cut the dough into 1cm-thick rounds. I find the easiest way to do this is using a pizza cutter this avoids any snagging. Place the rolls into the baking tray, keeping them close to each other and snug. Repeat this process for the other half of the dough. Note: this will get messy! Bake the rolls in the preheated over for around 20 minutes or until risen and golden.
