Method:
Take flour, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Melt butter in a pan, add in milk, sugar and whisk well. Touch and see whether the temp of the milk is luke warm. It has to be very warm, if it is hot then the yeast will die.
Once the mix is warm, sprinkle over the yeast and set aside for 5 mins. Now it will be all activated.
Now whisk it well and add in egg and whisk well.
Now add in flour and mix to a sticky dough. Add in raisans and tutti fruity and mix well.
Now cover the dough with a plate and let it rise on a warm spot for 1 hour or till it is doubled in size.
Now add more flour and knead well. Now divide it into equal portions. take one ball and roll it into a smooth ball.
Arrange this in a parchment lined baking sheet and cover it again and let it rise for 1 hour or so.
In the last 10 min of rising, preheat oven to 190 degree C…
Make egg wash by mixing egg with some milk and set aside.
Brush the egg wash over the buns and bake this for 20 to 25 mins till golden.
Remove it and let it cool for 5 mins, remove it to a wire rack and cool it completely.
When the buns are cooling prepare glaze as shown here.
Fill a piping bag or ziploc bag with icing, snip the end off and make criss cross pattern over the buns.
Let it set for an hour and serve.
