Instructions
- Add all the dough ingredients into a stand mixer bowl, apart from the butter. Make sure the yeast is separate from the salt/sugar.
- Use the dough hook attachment and mix on a medium speed for 5 minutes until it comes together. Scrape down the bowl and return to the mixer on a medium speed and slowly incorporate the butter, bit by bit until it’s all-mixed in.
- Let the dough mix for another 10 minutes, until its shiny and elastic and comes away from the edges.
- Cover with clingfilm or a clean tea towel and place in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.
- While the dough chills, beat your filling ingredients with an electric whisk until they form a soft paste.
- Once the dough is cold, roll it out using a little flour till it’s a square approx. 30x30cm.
- Spread the filling evenly, right to the edges using a palette knife or spoon.
- Roll the dough from the bottom long side up to the top long side in a tight log shape. Transfer carefully to a tray lined with greaseproof paper and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Cut off the ends and cut into 9 equal buns and arrange in rows of 3 with a little gap in between, in a deep baking tray well-greased with butter so that they fill the tin.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour until almost doubled in size.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4.
- Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, immediately brush with the honey mix and leave to cool slightly, sprinkle with demerera sugar if using and serve slightly warm.
