My stress fracture has been really bothering me lately, and all I've wanted to do is bake. So time for a new recipe!
Makes about 20 buns.
Cost ~ £1
Ingredients
In the following order, put the below into your breadmaker:
3/4 cup room temp milk (I used soy, but you can use any)
1/3 lukewarm water
2 eggs
1tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
4tbsp butter or margarine
3-3.5 cups bread flour
2 tsp (two sachets) quick yeast
Put the breadmaker onto the "dough" setting.
While waiting for the dough, mix:
250g butter or marg,
2tbsp white sugar
2tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp mixed spice
in a bowl. Leave out to keep soft.
Once dough is ready, take out of bread-maker, punch out the air,
and cut in half.
Roll the first half into a rectangle, roughly 10"x6".
Spread half the butter mixture onto the dough.
Roll like a swiss roll and cut into roughly 9-10 sections.
Place with the swirl on the top on a floured tray, and lightly press down to make sure it stays upright.
Repeat with the second half of the dough.
Leave the trays out, covered with cling-film for an hour, to let them rise a bit more.
Remove covering, bake @ 180-200 degrees C for around 20-30 minutes until browned.
Remove from tray and let cool.
Once cool, mix roughly 250g icing sugar with enough water or milk to make a paste,
and drizzle on the top.
Some people sprinkle fruit in their buns before rolling, but as I had never tried this before, I figured I'd just make the buns plain.
