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.
