How to make cinnamon rolls with plums step by step

Step 1 - preparing the yeast starter

• Crumble the yeast into a bowl, add sugar and lukewarm (not hot!) milk, and mix until the yeast dissolves.
  15 g yeast, 125 ml milk, 1 teaspoon sugar
  
• Cover the bowl and set aside in a warm place for about 20 minutes for the yeast to activate.
  

Step 2 - preparing the yeast dough

• Transfer the dough ingredients to a large bowl.
  300 g wheat flour, 50 g sugar, 1 egg, 40 g butter
  
• Add the risen yeast starter and knead into a smooth dough - I mix for a few minutes with a dough hook on low speed.
  
• Cover the bowl with the kneaded dough and set aside in a warm place for about an hour for the dough to rise and double in volume.
  

Step 3 - preparing the filling

• While the dough is rising, wash the plums, cut them in half, and then cut into smaller pieces.
  approx 500 g plums
  
• Mix the sugar with cinnamon.
  100 g sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Step 4 - preparing cinnamon rolls with plums

• Take the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
  
• Roll out into a thin sheet, maximum 0.5 cm thick.
  
• Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter - I recommend a silicone brush.
  approx 25 g butter
  
• Sprinkle the top of the dough with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  
• Arrange the plums and spread them in an even layer.
  
• Roll the dough into a log - I do it from the wider side.
  
• With a sharp knife, gently mark on the log where the buns will be divided - I first gently cut in the very middle, then in the middle of each half, and then again in the middle of each piece, thus obtaining 8 portions.
  
• Using a thread, divide the dough into portions - plums may fall out ;)
  
• Arrange the buns in the prepared pan (greased with butter and floured).
  
• Add the plums that fell out during slicing to the buns.
• Cover the pan with the buns and set aside for about 30 minutes to puff up.

Step 5 - baking cinnamon rolls

• While the buns are rising, turn on the oven to 180 ℃ in top/bottom heating mode.
• Place the risen buns in the pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes - until nicely browned.
• After baking, cool the buns.

Step 6 - preparing the glaze for the buns

• Pour the sugar into a bowl, add milk in portions - mix until all the sugar dissolves and you get a slightly runny glaze.
  approx 150 g powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk
  
• Spread the glaze over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
