Savory Garlic Cinnabons with Green Onion and Sesame Seeds

Table of Contents

- 25 g sugar
- 150 g all-purpose flour (plus an additional 10 g for dusting)
- 5 g salt

- Mix the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 100 ml of warm milk, 4 g of dry yeast, and 25 g of sugar. Stir the mixture well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbles form, indicating that the yeast is activated.
- Combine Flour and Salt: In a separate large bowl, sift 150 g of flour and add 5 g of salt. Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the flour, stirring with a spatula until the dough starts to come together.
- Add Butter and Knead: Once the dough begins to form, add 20 g of melted butter and knead the dough with your hands. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little more flour (up to 10 g) on the surface and continue kneading until it is smooth and slightly elastic. Grease the dough with the remaining melted butter and form it into a ball.

Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough ball in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with cling film, and leave it in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine 50 g of soft butter, 2 g of dried garlic, 2 large minced garlic cloves, and 20 g of finely chopped green onions. Mix everything together to create a fragrant, buttery garlic filling.

- Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, sprinkle a clean surface with flour and place the dough on it. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin into a rectangle, approximately 30 cm by 28 cm.

Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the garlic and butter filling across the rolled-out dough. Be sure to cover the entire surface to ensure each bite is flavorful.
Roll and Slice the Dough: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the longer edges. Once rolled, divide the log into 6 equal parts, each about 5 cm wide.

- Arrange in the Pan: Place the dough rolls into the greased baking pan, leaving some space between each roll. Press down lightly on the rolls with your hand to flatten them slightly.

Cover and Let Rise: Cover the pan with cling film and let the dough rise for an additional 40 minutes in a warm place. The rolls should puff up nicely during this time.

- Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Once the rolls have risen, brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle a generous amount of white sesame seeds over the egg-washed rolls for a nice, crunchy topping.

- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the garlic cinnabons from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
