A fruity take on a classic sweet bread. Enjoy these sticky treats with a cup of tea.
Making the dough Add milk and yeast into a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Fit the Kneaders. Add butter, vanilla, plain flour, strong white bread flour, sugar, salt and egg to the bowl. Mix for 1 minute on speed Min, until a dough starts to form. Transfer the dough to a work surface. Knead for about 7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a tea towel. Prove for 1 hour 15 minutes, until doubled in size.
Making the filling Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a rectangle until about 5 mm thick. Spread a thin layer of freeze-dried raspberry powder on the dough. Fold the dough in half, encasing the powder. Fold in half again and form the dough into a ball. Roll out into a rectangle until about 5 mm thick. Then spread jam on the dough, leaving a 1 cm gap around the border. Top with crushed raspberries. Starting from a long edge, roll up the dough into a spiral. Slice the dough into 3 cm pieces. Place the rolls into a baking dish ensuring there is about a 1 cm gap around each roll. Cover with a tea towel. Prove for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes at 180ºC, until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Making the icing Add icing sugar into a small bowl. Add water and a few drops of pink food colouring. Tip: Add enough water to make a thick icing that can drizzle. Mix to combine. Drizzle the icing over the buns.
Serve.
