Cinnamon rolls

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 3 cups of Banaplus green banana flour

• 1 cup of warm milk

• 1/4 cup of sugar

• 1 packet (7 g) of dry yeast

• 1/4 cup of melted butter

• 1 egg

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the filling:

• 1/2 cup of brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon

• 1/4 cup of melted butter

For the glaze (optional):

• 1 cup of powdered sugar

• 2-3 tablespoons of milk

• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Preparation:

1. Activate the yeast:
   In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with the sugar and add the dry yeast. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until the mixture bubbles, indicating that the yeast is active.

2. Prepare the dough:
   In a large bowl, mix the Banaplus green banana flour, salt, and cinnamon.
   Add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix well until a homogeneous dough forms.
   Knead for about 5-7 minutes. The dough should be soft, but if it’s too sticky, you can add a little more green banana flour.
   Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.

3. Prepare the filling:
   In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
   Melt the butter and set it aside.

4. Assemble the rolls:
   Once the dough has risen, roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, forming a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
   Spread the melted butter over the rolled dough and evenly sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
   Carefully roll the dough from one long side, forming a cylinder.
   Cut the cylinder into rolls about 2-3 cm thick.

5. Bake:
   Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, leaving a small space between them.
   Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rest for an additional 30 minutes to rise a bit more.
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
   Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Prepare the glaze (optional):
   In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
