INGREDIENTS
For the Buns:
- 1 tbsp dry yeast

- 1 1/2 cups sultanas

METHOD

- Add remaining Bun ingredients, starting with the flour and remaining sugar.
- Use a mixer fitted with a dough hook to mix until a smooth elastic dough forms.

- Allow the mix to rise (double in volume covered with a damp tea towel)
- Knock the mixture back
- Roll into even ball sizes approx. 4cm push down to 2 cm flat place on a greased baking tray.
- (Place the balls approx. 2 cm apart)
- Next, pipe the Cross mixture over the top and allow the mixture to rise about 70% in volume (approx. 30 minutes room temperature)
