Refined Sugar Free
INGREDIENTS (MAKES 15)
1 x 10g Packet Dry Yeast
1/4 Cup Very Warm Water
1 Cup Milk (warmed)
1/4 Cup Butter (melted)
2 Eggs (lightly beaten)
5 Cups White Bread Flour
1 tsp Salt
3 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
2 tsp Mixed Spice
1 tsp Ground Ginger
2 1/2 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
2-3 Scoops The Collagen Co Unflavoured Collagen
1 Cup Soft Caramels (chopped)
WHITE CROSSES
2 1/2 Tbsp Plain Flour
6 Tbsp Water
METHOD
- Sprinkle yeast into a measuring cup with warm water. Stir until yeast dissolves. Set aside. To a bowl, add the warm milk and butter. Stir until melted. Once cool, add in eggs. Stir again. Set aside.
- Sieve flour into a large bowl, mix in salt, spices, coconut sugar, collagen and soft caramel chunks. Make a well in the centre of the flour. Pour in the yeast mixture and the butter mixture. Mix in with a metal fork until a soft dough forms. If too sticky add a little more flour.
- Place in a greased mixing bowl with a damp cloth over the top. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
- On a lightly floured surface divide the dough into 15 equal pieces. Roll into balls. Cover again with a damp cloth and let the buns rise until they double in size.
- Meanwhile, mix together the plain flour and water for the crosses until you have a thick paste. Using a piping bag, carefully draw a cross onto each bun. Preheat oven to 200C. Bake buns for approximately 15 mins or until golden brown. Brush with butter or honey. Enjoy!
