SAVOURY CHELSEA BUNS

Preparation Method :

• Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl and rub in the oil. Warm the milk and water until body temperature.
• In a cup, mix the yeast with a little of the warm liquid to make it smooth, add to the flour and knead into a dough with the remaining liquid. The more you knead the better the buns will be.
• Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a large polythene bag and leave it in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, 1 - 3 hours.
• Knead the dough for few minutes. Roll out into a rectangle.
• Mix the filling ingredients, spread over the dough; brush one edge with water. Roll up like a Swiss roll and cut into 5 slices with a floured knife.
• Lay the slices in a greased and floured square baking tin with a gap between each. Brush with beaten egg.
• Allow the slices to rise for about 15-20 minutes. They will now be almost touching.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C / 400°F for 45 minutes. As they rise further they will merge into each other by forming one large square. Cool slightly and serve.
