BAKING, TABLESCAPING & FLORAL ARRANGING | THE DREAM AUTUMNAL DAY AT HOME

Hello my angels,
Well, I am home, and I am so ready for a cozy, autumnal afternoon. Join me as I prepare my table for the new season and settle in for a labour-of-love bake which is well worth the effort. If the smell of cinnamon spice and the feel of cozy jumpers could be a vlog, this would be it!
I've listed the ingredients and recipe for these SCRUMPTIOUS Apple Cinnamon Rolls below, if you bake-along do let me know in the comments below!
All my love,
Leonora
Apple Cinnamon Rolls
TOOLS REQUIRED
- Mixer
- Mixing Bowl (Greased)
- Cake Tin (Greased)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup warm milk
- 4 tbsp milk
- 550g all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 200g + 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 120g + 85g unsalted butter (cubed, at room temperature)
- 1.5 tbsp active yeast
- 2 eggs
- 220g apples (roughly two medium sized apples)
- Cinnamon
- Salted Caramel Icing
- 100g icing sugar
RECIPE
Add the warm milk, active yeast and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar into a bowl, and whisk together. Leave to stand for 5 minutes to let the yeast do its magic.
Whilst that stands, you can prep the other ingredients in individual bowls.
Next, start mixing your yeast mixture on medium speed, then one ingredient at a time, add in another 100g sugar, the cubed butter and the two eggs.
Once combined, add your flour cup by cup.
Once all the flour is absorbed, keep mixing for 2-3 minutes.
Dust your surface with flour and grease your bowl ready for the dough.
Knead your dough for 5 minutes.
Pop your dough in your greased bowl and lightly cover with vegetable oil. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise at room temperature for two hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Peel and chop your apples.
Roll your dough into a even-thickness rectangle.
Evenly spread the 85g of butter on top of your dough.
Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon on top of the butter.
Then sprinke the chopped apples on top of the sugar and cinnamon.
Tightly roll the dough into a lovely long cinnamon log.
Cut your log into thick, even parts.
Place the rolls into your greased cake tin. Start with the outer layer.
Cling film and leave for another 45 minutes.
Bake for 25 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius.
Ten minutes in, create a tent with aluminium foil to prevent burning.
Whisk 2 tbsp of milk, 2 tbsp of salted caramel icing, and a dash of vanilla extract into your icing sugar.
Take your rolls out the oven and let them cool slightly.
Remove them from your tin and continue to cool.
Then drizzle over your icing and ENJOY.

[@jojodesrosiers8096]

I know her expressions are priceless. I don’t know how anyone can be that happy. But it’s contagious!!! Watching her bake those delicious cinnamon buns, made me stop and baked some homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. All I had to bake. Yummy!!!!

[@carolmaclean2329]

Gosh Leonora, I love the vlogs from Mallorca in the sunshine but the autumnal vibe in this vlog was brilliant. Leonora’s Larder sounds good to me. When you opened the oven door and got so excited about the rolls, I chuckled loudly. Is there no end to your talents…..I was so envious of you when you bit into one of the rolls, they look absolutely delicious. I missed the doggies too so it was good to see them. ❤

[@alexnewall8864]

Your Vlogs Leonora are my go to happy place and my little piece of escapism especially after a stressful day you just have the ability to make me feel destressed and happy 😊 xxx

[@marycollins1631]

Leanora, Your enthusiasm is contagious! You make me smile.. I have enjoyed discovering your channel. I appreciate your detailed posts with recipe ingredients, instructions, and licks. It would be helpful for you to measure everything before you begin the video. You can still use minimal bowls. Wishing you a lovely day!

[@IS-gk4jf]

Hi Leonora, It shows you really love cooking. Was there a family influence that also loved creating in the kitchen? You are such a great baker and cook. Very inspiring

[@annewilkie6467]

Dear Leonora, the cinnamon buns of dreams - which means that I shall have to plan my weekend around them - I will sow my winter salad leaves while the dough is proving and forage for a gorgeous autumnal arrangement from the garden - and return to inhale the spiced aromas before the grand finale of scarfing them down with a cuppa! Delish! Thank you for the fabulous recipe and such a cosy vlog ❤

[@eveoliver6846]

Everything always look perfect. Christmas must be very exciting around your home and your Mom's home. We would love to be your neighbor. What a wonderful party we would all have together.

[@barbarafogo1054]

The apple and cinnamon rolls looked delicious. Really enjoyed watching the process of making them...such fun. Lucky guests!

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Brilliant video, Leonora, I love watching you at home, doing your artistic table scapes. And cooking. And seeing your little dogs trotting around your orchid. It’s great that you can include your home in your vlogs. It's a good balance of fashion and your home. You’re multi talented. And beautiful.. 👍♥👍

[@user-tj8jr6gg9c]

Oh Leonora you really make me laugh, make me drool with envy for a cinnamon roll. Or 2 …(and a sausage snog❤) after having made me want to jump on a plane to Mallorca and again drool over that house of yours. And everything inside it. So congratulations I think the desired effect was successful 🥰😋. PS. Yes Leonora’s Larder 👍🏻

[@sheliaerwin3899]

This vlog was epic!!! L9ve the fact that you wear crocs!!!! I'm from Houston Texas I get it!😂 you home is simply stunning ..I'm Def going to make the rolls. And lastly what you did to thar table was INCREDIBLE ❤

[@EEN63]

What a wonderful vlog of wholesome homey bits. Those apple cinnamon rolls looked magnificent! You nailed it when you said there can never be too much icing! I would have probably spread the icing on as opposed to your more delicate (and sensible) drizzle! 😉😋😂 Kudos to you for going the extra mile and putting forth all that effort to make something so special for your guests. I always love a fabulous tablescape, and you certainly didn’t disappoint! All those Autumnal colors and various elements came together beautifully! I especially like how you foraged those multi-colored leaves, quince and hydrangeas from your own garden. I hope we get a peek at those lilies in your kitchen island arrangement after they come into bloom! Welcome home after such a busy and high-energy time away. I find it regenerating to have a bit of homey time to recharge after lots of festive time or intense work schedules! Glad you are back with your boys! I know those little sausages miss you terribly when you’re away! Thanks for sharing all these lovely and very enjoyable homey bits with us! Your efforts are so appreciated! 🥰🥰🥰

[@lynnrobertson6629]

Had to look up the botanical name to confirm. We call the gypsophila, baby’s breath in the US.

[@americaunited504]

Oh My Dear. How I adore your sharing your life with us. Everything you do reminds me of every parents dream for their daughter. To have a beautiful baby is surreal enough, but to have her grow into a beautiful adult, with all the hopes and dreams realized, must be Heaven on Earth! As a parent myself, I confess it is my greatest hope for my beloved. A big shout out to our Josie, who lent her invaluable grace to us all. Her parents did an amazing job as well. What a superb Brand Ambassador she is also. Sharing the best of British life requires authenticity. You Sisters are both the very of British life. As an American, I've always been carried away by firstly, British music. All my favorites come from there, which has enormously impacted my life thus far. Secondly, hearing your beautiful voice while vlogging to us, reminds me this is the original way. It speaks to my heart every vlog! Your pups, your photo shoots, Claudia, your garden, and your beautiful face, makes me really really glad that Josie recommended you. I'm an old Flight Attendant whose greatest layover was and always will be...London. My daughter has a long hair Sausage who she named Oliver. How a dog can have such incredible personality and interaction is a constant source of joy for all of us who meets him. My Golden Retriever in miniature form. Thanks for your kindness Dear. My daughter, Thea, is now watching. Keep being your beautiful self and don't let the downside of the internet effect you. Those of us absolutely adore your content and only wish you all goodness and an entire lifetime of joy. Love from across the pond. XOXOXO

[@gaaarete]

Okay, so I’m finally here, it really was awesome, catching up. I have been so busy, but it was a treat this last week binging your beautiful episode’s ❤ God bless you, my husband and I enjoyed watching you and your family.

[@Crazyshoppeuse]

Hello from.France, Leonora ! Thank you so much for this video. I love when you're home, cooking, setting the table, making flowers arrangements and walking in the garden with your dogs. I like the way you mixed this graphic designed napkin ring with the rest of the set. I did not think it would have work but it did ! When I was younger and I couldn't afford to buy flowers, I used to ask neighbours some branches and leaves they had in their garden. That made wonderful bouquets !
