Instructions
- Warm the milk gently and infuse the saffron strands (off the heat) for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, rub the butter (cut into chunks) into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the yeast, salt and sugar and stir in.
- Once infused, pour in the milk mixture and combine using the dough hook and mixer until a dough has formed (5 minutes)
- After 5 minutes, add in the candied peel, orange zest and currants. Mix for a further 5 minutes.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to prove for an hour in a warm spot (until doubled in size).
- Knock back and turn out onto a surface. Shape into 10 equal-sized buns. Bake in an oven at 190 degrees C for 25 minutes.
- Prepare your sugar syrup by melting the sugar in the water on a high heat until bubbling and syrupy. Glaze onto the buns once they come out of the oven and leave to cool on a cooling rack. Serve warm with butter!
