Ingredients | |
500 | g/1lb 2oz strong white flour, plus extra for dusting |
50 | g/2oz caster sugar |
10 | g/1/4oz salt |
40 | g/11/2oz unsalted butter cut into small pieces, plus extra for greasing the tin |
2 | free-range eggs |
2 | x 7g sachets fast-acting dried yeast |
150 | ml/5fl oz lukewarm milk |
90 | ml/6 tbsp lukewarm water |
280 | g/10oz cranberry sauce |
300 | g/101/2oz roast turkey, shredded |
200 | g/7oz leftover sage and onion stuffing |
1. | Preparation method |
2. | Place the flour, caster sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter, eggs, yeast, milk and warm water. |
3. | Mix the ingredients with your hands until a rough dough is formed. |
4. | Tip the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead well for ten minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. |
5. | Place the dough into a clean, oiled bowl , cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for one hour. |
6. | Tip the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface. |
7. | Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 50x28cm/20x11in. Turn the dough so that the longer edge is closest to you and “tack” the dough to the work surface by pressing it down firmly with your finger. |
8. | Spread cranberry sauce onto the surface of the dough with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the shredded turkey and stuffing on top. |
9. | Roll the long side of the dough towards you quite tightly, forming a spiral inside. When rolled up, release the tacked edge and place it onto a floured part of the surface. With a sharp knife cut the sausage shape into 5cm/2in rounds. |
10. | Place all spiral rounds, swirly side up, into a large, deep roasting tin or baking tray greased thoroughly with butter, leaving a 1cm/½in space between each one. You want them to be close enough so that they will bake with their sides touching. |
11. | Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside in a warm place to rise for an hour. They should have expanded and be touching each other. |
12. | Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. |
13. | When the buns are ready, put them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. |
14. | After removing the buns from the oven, let them cool slightly before removing them from the tin and placing on a cooling rack. |
15. | When ready to eat, pull the buns apart to reveal the soft edges. |
