Ingredients
-
500g all-purpose flour
-
250ml milk
-
2 eggs
-
50g melted butter
-
30g yeast
-
oil
-
1 tsp sugar
-
pinch of salt
-
granulated sugar for rolling
-
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Sift the flour into a bowl and mix with the salt. Heat the milk until lukewarm, add the sugar and yeast, then cover and let it rise for 8-12 minutes.
Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter to the flour and knead it into a flexible dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 1 hour until the dough doubles in size.
Place the rested dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to the thickness of your finger. Cut it lengthwise into 2 cm wide strips.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Wrap the empty beer can in kitchen foil and grease the foil using some oil. Take a strip of dough and roll it tightly onto the greased can. Brush the dough with oil then roll it in cinnamon sugar.
Place the chimney cake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
