Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a mixer, slowly adding up to 450ml of lukewarm water until a soft dough forms.
  • Cover the bowl with clingfilm and set aside.
  • Let the dough rise for 20 minutes until doubled, then roll it into a 60cm x 30cm rectangle on a floured surface.
  • Layer 1cm thick butter slices over two-thirds of the dough and fold the edges over to meet in the middle.
  • Fold the dough in half again.
  • Repeat the rolling and folding process three times, then wrap and chill in the fridge overnight.
  • Roll the chilled dough into a 5mm thick square.
  • Spread a mixture of cream cheese and vanilla over two-thirds of the dough, sprinkle with cinnamon, roll up, and cut into 4cm slices.
  • Place buns in a lined 23cm springform tin and leave to prove until doubled in size.
  • Brush with egg wash and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Simmer sugar, maple syrup, 25ml water, and bourbon in a pan until reduced and sticky, then brush over the warm cake.
