INGREDIENTS
For the recipe Triple Chocolate and Ginger Chelsea Buns
500 g Strong White Bread Flour
7 g Fast-action dried yeast
75 g Caster Sugarabout
3 g Salt (1 pinch)
5g Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp)
5g Ground Ginger (1 tsp)
50g Unsalted butter
300 ml Soy Milk
PREPARATION
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE AND GINGER CHELSEA BUNS
Step 1: Place the fruit into a bowl, cover with boiling water and set aside.
Step 2: To make the dough, combine the flour, yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle over the salt. Over a low heat melt the butter and Dark Chocolate in a small saucepan. Once melted, add the milk and continue to heat until it reaches 37°.
Step 3: Tip the milk mix into the flour mixture and bring together with fingertips until a sticky dough forms. Tip it out on to a work surface and knead until it comes together. It is quite a wet mixture so this may take about 10 minutes.
Step 4: Place in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180° Fan, Gas Mark 6).
Step 5: Tip on to a floured surface and roll out into large rectangle about 5mm thick. Spread with the softened butter.
Step 6: To make the filling, drain the fruit and combine with the remaining filling ingredients. Sprinkle over the buttered dough.
Step 7: Starting from a long side, roll in to a fairly tight, long sausage. Divide into 12 pieces. Arrange on a 35cm x 26cm deep sided roasted tin, cut side up. Cover with cling film and leave to prove until only about 1cm of space remains between each bun.
Step 8: Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven, whilst hot glaze with the apricot jam. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once cooled melt the white chocolate and drizzle using a teaspoon over the top of the Chelsea buns.
