3. Place the dough into a lightly oiled container and cover with plastic film and leave at room temperature for 1 hour to ferment.
4. Tip out of the bowl and knock back the dough to expel the air and then cut into portions and roll each portion in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place into the prepared tins with the caramel filling piped into the base.
5. Proof until doubled in volume and then bake at 180°C for 15 minutes for individual or 25–30 minutes for the loaf.
