Makes: 20

Prep time: 2 hrs 15 mins Ingredients 6 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups warm milk 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup castor sugar

1 pkt yeast

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp salt

Cooking oil or spray

4 T butter

1 cup loosely packed brown sugar

4 T cinnamon Nutella chocolate spread

1 1/2 x 110 g tubs cream cheese

4 T butter

4 T milk

1 T vanilla essence

1 1/2 cups icing sugar Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix milk, butter, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Allow to stand until frothy. Add egg to the mixture and stir. 2. Sift flour and salt into the bowl, and mix until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, occasionally rolling the dough onto the floured surface.

3. Coat a large bowl with cooking oil or spray. Transfer dough to the bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes or until double in size. 4. Divide the dough into two. Roll out the first one into a rectangular shape. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and seal the ends, then cut into equal slices. Roll out the second dough. Cover with chocolate spread, then roll up and tie the ends. Slice into equal portions. 5. Place buns on baking tray, packed closely together. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes.

6. Bake for 25 minutes.

7. Beat the cheese, butter, milk and vanilla essence. Sift in the icing sugar and beat until smooth. Pour over the hot buns, and bake for 3 minutes. Serve warm.
