Finally today i decided to give this a try whatever happens and here i am with the post.

The buns as usual turned out fluffy soft and delicious. I loved the buttery texture of the buns with all those dried fruits in them Such a treat. The glaze over the buns was like cherry on top a icecream. So perfect. You have to give this a try. I made a bigger batch of the dough because i am going to use that to make a delicious cinnamon rolls recipe. Will be sharing it in couple of days..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Preparation Time : 15 mins
Rising Time : 2 hour
Makes : 12 to 15 buns

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida – 3 cups + more
Sugar – 1/2 cup
Milk – 1 1/4 cup or as needed
Dry Yeast – 1 tblspn
Egg – 1
Cinnamon Powder – 1 tsp
Unsalted Butter – 1/2 cup
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Raisans – 1/4 cup
Tutti Fruity – 1/2 cup

For Egg Wash:
Egg – 1
Milk – 1/4 cup

For Icing:
Royal Icing – 1 batch (RECIPE HERE)


(MY 1 CUP MEASURES 240 ML)


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.
