Renowned for their delicious super-sized cinnamon rolls, The Select’s culinary director, Julian Parker, shares some tips for making the perfect homemade cinnamon buns. According to Parker, using softened butter rather than melted butter for the filling is essential in ensuring it stays evenly distributed within the roll. A good butter-to-sugar ratio of 1:2, where you use double the amount of sugar to butter, helps to create a rich and gooey texture without making the filling greasy. In addition, spreading the filling with a rubber spatula or pastry scraper and leaving a border along the edges can prevent leakage during baking.
Parker also suggests making sure the dough is well-proofed but not over-proofed, as under-proofing can lead to filling being forced out during baking. Chilling the filled dough before shaping, using a light egg wash, and not overfilling are key steps in preventing leakage. Rolling the dough tightly and chilling the shaped rolls once again before baking helps to set the structure and reduce the risk of filling seepage.
For cinnamon roll enthusiasts looking to up their homemade baking game, these tips from Julian Parker are sure to result in perfectly gooey and delicious cinnamon rolls. For more food and drink tips, be sure to join The Takeout’s newsletter for taste tests, recipes, cooking tips, and more.
