No Scandinavian coffee break with friends- or fika, as it’s known in Sweden, is complete without a cinnamon bun.

Preparing the dough
Add the plain flour, strong white bread flour, caster sugar, light brown sugar, instant yeast, cinnamon, salt and egg to the mixer bowl. Fit the splashguard.
Mix on speed Min for 2 minutes, before increasing to speed 1 and mixing for a further 8 minutes, so the ingredients come together into a dough.

Shaping the dough
Once the dough has proved, lay on a lightly floured surface and flatten slightly. Gently pull the edges into the centre and shape into a ball.
Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 10-20 minutes. While you wait, grease a medium-sized baking tray.

Rolling out into buns
Roll the rested dough out into a rectangle, about 5mm thick. Spread the cinnamon butter filling evenly over all of the dough and roll into a log. Divide into 12 equal-sized slices and shape into balls.
Arrange the buns on the prepared baking tray, seam side up and evenly spaced apart.

Pieczenie bułeczek cynamonowych
Rozgrzej piekarnik do 180°C. Gdy bułki wyrosną, piecz je przez 25 minut.
WSKAZÓWKA: Po 15 minutach w piekarniku przykryj bułeczki folią na resztę czasu pieczenia. Zapobiegnie to ich nadmiernemu brązowieniu.
Wyjmij z piekarnika i pozostaw do ostygnięcia.
Przygotowanie polewy
W robocie zamontuj czystą misę oraz mieszadło elastyczne (mieszadło K również wykona to zadanie).
Do misy dodaj serek śmietankowy, niesolone masło, cukier puder i ekstrakt waniliowy i załóż osłonę przeciw chlapaniu. Mieszaj przez 20 sekund, zaczynając od prędkości 1 i stopniowo zwiększając ją do prędkości 3. Konsystencja powinna być gęsta, ale łatwa do rozsmarowania.
Rozsmaruj polewę na bułkach, gdy są jeszcze lekko ciepłe. Smacznego!
Wskazówka: można zamrozić upieczone bułeczki bez dodatku polewy.
