Method
- In a planetary mixer add the strong flour, caster sugar, spread, yeast, eggs, salt and warm milk and mix slowly using the dough hook
- Add the warm water slowly until a soft dough is formed
- Kneed using the mixer for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic
- Allow to prove in a warm place, with a damp tea towel covering for 1 hour or until doubled in size
- Knock-back to remove the air from the dough and tip out onto a floured surface
- Split the dough into manageable pieces and roll into long ‘sausages’ about 2.5cm in diameter
- Cut the ‘sausage’ into 8 cm pieces and arrange on a greased baking tray allowing enough room for them to double in size once more (do not worry if they touch slightly)
- Cook in a preheated oven at 220˚C for 10mins until lightly browned and transfer to a cooling rack to cool
- Make the icing by mixing the icing sugar and water (this should be quite thick)
- Once the buns are cool, dip into the icing and allow to set
