Ingredients

150ml full fat milk
25g butter
250g Juvela Gluten Free White Mix
½ tsp salt
40g caster sugar
1tsp dried yeast (supplied with Mix)
1 medium egg, lightly beaten
50g sultanas
25g mixed peel
Zest of an orange
½ tsp cinnamon
For the cross and glaze:
20g Juvela Gluten Free White Mix
2tbsp apricot jam

Method

  1. In a small pan, bring the milk to the boil, remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Leave to cool for a few minutes.
  2. Place the Mix, salt, sugar and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm milk and egg and combine using a mixer with a dough hook (or you can mix with a wooden spoon).
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl; cover with oiled cling film and allow to prove in a warm place for an hour or until roughly doubled in size.
  4. Add the sultanas, mixed peel, orange zest and cinnamon and mix into the dough with your hands.
  5. Divide the dough into approx. 8 pieces and roll into balls, place on a baking tray and allow to prove for another hour.
  6. To make the cross, combine the Mix with a little water to form a thick paste and pipe onto the top of each bun.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven 220ºC/200ºC Fan/425ºF/Gas Mark 7 for approx. 20minutes until golden.
  8. Once the buns are out of the oven, gently heat the apricot jam and brush over the top of the warm buns.
