Method Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl make a well in the middle and stir in the yeast. 500g Strong White Bread Flour (we like Allinson) 1 tsp Salt 1 Easy Bake Yeast Sachet (we like Allinson) Warm the milk and butter in a small pan until the butter melts and the mixture is lukewarm. Do not overheat the milk. 300ml Milk 40g Butter (Unsalted) (Softened ) Add the milk mixture to the flour, add the egg and stir until the mixture becomes a dough. 1 Egg(s) (Free Range) Tip onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for five minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic and does not feel sticky. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough into the bowl and turn until it is covered in the oil. Cover the bowl with cling film and prove in a warm place for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. Lightly grease a baking tray. Knock the dough back and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out into a rectangle ½cm thick. Brush all over with the melted butter, then sprinkle over the sugar, mixed spice and dried fruit. 25g Butter (Unsalted) (Melted) 2 tbsp Half Spoon Granulated Sugar 2 tsp Mixed Spice 100g Dried Mixed Fruits Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 5). Roll the dough up into a tight cylinder, and cut ten 4cm slices and place on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each slice. Cover with a tea towel and set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Bake the buns in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown. Meanwhile, heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan until boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients Metric For the Buns 500g Strong White Bread Flour (we like Allinson) This is versatile, everyday bread flour with a high protein content which helps to make the perfect loaf. Bread flour has higher gluten levels than culinary flours such as plain or self-raising. Very strong bread flour has an even higher gluten level so can be used to produce a higher rise loaf. Good for white loaves, pizza dough and pasta. 1 tsp Salt 1 Easy Bake Yeast Sachet (we like Allinson) Perfect to use in bread makers and hand baking this yeast, gives your dough a quick rise, eliminating the need to 'knock back.' The dough will only require one kneading and one period of proving. The yeast can be added with the flour straight from the pack and will become activated as soon as it comes into contact with the liquid. 300ml Milk 40g Butter (Unsalted) (Softened ) 1 Egg(s) (Free Range) For the Filling 25g Butter (Unsalted) (Melted) 2 tbsp Half Spoon Granulated Sugar Half Spoon contains granulated sugar mixed with a small amount of sweetener making it 50% fewer calories than regular sugar.
