Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 200g (1 3/4 cups) self-rising flour
- 240g (1 cup) Greek yogurt
For the Filling:
- 50g (1/4 cup) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
For the Icing (optional):
- 60g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
Method of Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush the melted butter over the dough.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 6 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in the greased baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls once they are out of the oven.
Tips for Culinary Success
- Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the dough log into even pieces without squishing the rolls.
- Ensure your Greek yogurt is thick for the best dough consistency.
- For a more indulgent filling, add chopped nuts or raisins.
