Method

12 steps · 1h 6m

01
Sift Flour and Yeast
Sift the 500g white flour and 1 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle, then add the 7g yeast.
02
Warm Milk and Butter
In a saucepan, gently warm the 300ml milk and 40g butter until the butter has melted and the mixture is just lukewarm, not hot.
03
Mix the Dough
Pour the lukewarm milk mixture and the 1 egg into the flour well. Stir everything together until a soft dough forms. If it feels too sticky, you might need a little extra flour.
04
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured work surface. Knead for about 5 minutes, adding more flour if needed, until the dough feels smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
05
First Rise
Lightly oil a clean bowl with a dash of vegetable oil. Place the dough in, turning it once to coat, then cover the bowl with cling film. Set it aside in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until the dough has noticeably doubled in size.
06
Grease Baking Tray
Lightly grease a baking tray.
07
Roll and Fill Dough
Gently punch the risen dough down to its original size and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/2cm (or ¼ inch) thick. Brush the entire surface with the 25g melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the 75g brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 150g dried fruit.
08
Slice and Second Rise
Tightly roll the dough up into a cylinder. Cut it into ten 4cm (or 1½ inch) slices and arrange them on the lightly greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each bun for expansion. Cover with a tea towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
09
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F or Gas 5).
10
Bake the Buns
Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, until they're risen and golden-brown on top.
11
Make the Glaze
While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze: heat the 2 tablespoons milk and 2 tablespoons caster sugar in a small saucepan until it boils. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly syrupy.
12
Glaze and Cool
As soon as the buns come out of the oven, brush them generously with the warm glaze. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
