Instructions
Mix your warm milk and yeast in a big bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes till it froths up good.
Add caster sugar, melted butter and orange zest to that, and stir it all up.
In a different bowl, mix the bread flour with cinnamon, all spice and salt.
Slowly add the dry mix to your wet stuff, stir until it starts forming dough.
Flour your surface and knead the dough for about 10 minutes till it's smooth and kinda elastic.
Pop that dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and leave it in a warm spot to rise for about an hour till it doubles.
Once it's puffed up, punch down the dough gently and fold in your sultanas.
Shape the dough into small balls, place them close together on a lined tray, cover again, and let rise 30 minutes more before baking.
Notes
Keep your buns soft by storing them in an airtight container once cool.
