What do you need?
For the dough:

- 7 g dried yeast
- 150 ml lukewarm milk
- 30 g sugar
- 40 g butter (melted)

For the filling

Equipment
The session: step by step
1. Making the dough
Mix the milk, yeast and sugar and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Then add the flour, salt and melted butter and knead into a smooth dough. Leave to rise for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
If you’d like to give it a slightly different twist, add a little grated orange zest to the dough.
2. Rolling and filling
Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush the butter over the top and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up tightly and cut into slices.
3. Preparing the barbecue
Heat your barbecue to around 180°C using Grill Fanatics charcoal. Create an indirect cooking zone using a plate setter. If you want to use smoking wood, now is the time. Add 1 or 2 pieces for a subtle flavour.
4. Grilling
Place the rolls in a greased skillet. Grill for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Finishing
Leave to cool slightly, then finish with icing or icing sugar.
Serve on a sturdy board and you’ve got a lovely addition to your Easter brunch.
