Sunday 13 January - Chelsea Buns

As we are trying lots of bready things, we decided to give Chelsea buns a go this afternoon.

The dough was enriched with egg and milk, and a little bit of butter. I started this in the bread machine as it's so cold at the moment that this was a quick way of getting it to rise.

This was then rolled out into a rectangle.

The dough was brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with dried fruit, sugar and cinnamon.

It was then rolled up a bit like a swiss roll.

And cut into slices and placed in the tin, and left to rise again.

It was then baked for 30 minutes and finally brushed with warm honey to glaze the buns.
