- melt 75g butter into 250ml milk;
- pour into a mixture of 400g flour, pinch salt, 3-4g dried yeast and 50g sugar.
- Knead for 10 mins.
- The filling is 35g warmed butter, 1tbsp cinnamon and 35g brown sugar.
- Roll out bread dough and spread filling over it.
- Roll up from the two long edges and then pinch the middle to make a heart shape.
