  • Cover and prove the dough at room temperature for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  • Grease a 38cm tin and a smaller inner tin with butter.
  • Melt 150g butter in a roasting tray and mix demerara sugar with cinnamon in another.
  • Knead the proved dough until smooth and form a large bun shape.
  • Cut a hole in the centre of the dough and expand it with your fingers.
