if  it doesn't it may not be active so best start again&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;place yeast mixture in a bowl of a mixer with a dough hook and start mixing &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;add eggs and a pinch of salt and continue mixing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;add flour whilst mixer is still going and then slowly add the butter and mix on low until mixture is well combined&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;increase speed and allow the dough to knead for another 5 minutes until smooth and elastic&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;take dough out of bowl, spray bowl with oil spray and place dough back in and cover with plastic wrap&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;allow to stand in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;in the meantime, make your cinnamon filling by whisking butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon until combined. Set aside&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;take dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 30 sec&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;roll out to a rectangle, 30 x 60cm with the longest side facing you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;spread your cinnamon filling leaving a few centimetre border  all around&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;roll dough from the longest side to form a long thin roll, cut  into 12 even pieces and place in a greased 20x30cm pan allowing room for  them to expand&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;preheat oven to 180C/160C fan and bake until golden, about 20-25minutes,  you may need to check half way through baking time and rotate pan&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;make  coffee icing by placing icing mixture in a little bowl, add hot  espresso and mix to dissolve. Add butter, mix well then add maple syrup  and mix until well combined. If your icing is runnier than you'd like,  add some more icing mixture. It should be thick enough to pour onto  scrolls&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;pour over slightly cooled scrolls and enjoy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"&gt;If you don't have an electric mixer with a dough attachment you  can knead it all by hand, about 8-10 minutes until it's elastic and  smooth&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"&gt;Enjoy my friends, and hope to see you here again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"&gt;So what social networks are you on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"&gt;By the way, if you are on &lt;a href="http://followgram.me/melbourneepicure" target="_blank"&gt;instagram&lt;/a&gt;, I'd love for you to look me up, I'm Melbourneepicure ♥ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;✗  &lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85745/cathie/ede808658ad749e57c1397bdc556a7cb.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ♡    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="shr_class shareaholic-show-on-load"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;  var &lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;SHRSB&lt;/span&gt;_Settings = {"&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;shr&lt;/span&gt;_class":{"&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;src&lt;/span&gt;":"{Place_Path_Here}","link":"","service":"5,7,2,52,38,201,88,74","&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;apikey&lt;/span&gt;":"6ffe2cbf142c45bd4cd03b01ec46b8658","localize":true,"&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;shortener&lt;/span&gt;":"google","&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;shortener&lt;/span&gt;_key":"","designer_&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;toolTips&lt;/span&gt;":true,"twitter_template":"${title} - ${short_link} via @&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;Shareaholic&lt;/span&gt;"}};    &lt;/script&gt;  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;       (function() {             var &lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;sb&lt;/span&gt; = document.&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;createElement&lt;/span&gt;("script"); &lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;sb&lt;/span&gt;.type = "text/javascript";&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;sb&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;async&lt;/span&gt; = true;             &lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;sb&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;" class="goog-spellcheck-word"&gt;src&lt;/span&gt; = ("https:" == document.location.protocol ?
