Hi,

1dl = 1 decilitre = 100 ml or 10cl

So you need

50 g of yeast

125g melted butter

500 ml of warm milk

15g of caster sugar

A pinch of salt

1.4-1.5 kg of flour

and for the filling

75g of butter
75g of caster sugar

Thank you so much. That's really helpful.
Hopefully some delicious cinnamon buns will be made very soon!

No, a kilo of flour is not the same as a litre of four, 1 kilo is almost 2 litres. You measure with measuring jug, available from IKEA, has flour volume on it as well.
Or convert - some converters I tried suggest 1500 ml flour is about 800 gr.

Oh and 1 1/2 dl sugar is about 140 gr, not 15.

Use measuring cups or a jug. 1 dl = 100ml.

Hmm ml and g on my digital scales show the same weight

KatharinaRosalie · 20/09/2019 07:03

ml and gr are only (almost) the same if we're talking about water, as water density is 997 kg/m3 . Flour density is 593 kg/m³. To make it really simple - 1 litre of cotton wool and one litre of rocks do not weigh the same, do they?

Just google 'convert ml to gr sugar' (or whatever), lots of baking ingredient converters online.
