buns Ingredients:
500 g plain flour |
7 g yeast |
2 tbsp honey |
1 tsp salt |
1 tsp mixed spice |
50 g sultanas |
2 tbsp orange zest, finely grated |
100 g chocolate, roughly chopped |
1 egg |
200 ml warm water |
100 ml warm milk |
25 g icbinb |
Directions:
1. Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir in the yeast, honey, salt, mixed spice, sultanas, orange zest and chocolate.
3. Break the egg in with the milk and water and pour in along with the melted butter, mixing thoroughly. Mix until it comes together into a loose dough.
4. Knead for 5 minutes until a hand indentation pressed into the surface springs back straight away.
5. Cover and leave in a warm place for an hour or so until it has doubled in size. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/GM6.
6. When doubled in size, lightly knead again to get rid of the air. Roll out into a sausage and cut off 8-10 portions. Roll these into balls and place onto a greased and floured baking tray. Cover again and leave for 20-30 minutes until they double in size again.
7. Cut crosses into the dough with a sharp knife. Place into a high oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven.
8. Mix a little sugar and water together over heat and brush onto the top to make a sugar glaze. Allow to cool slightly.
9. Ensure you smell the heavenly vapours together before devouring whilst still warm!
