Chelsea Buns!

Today, the Year 8’s and I went to Tech for cooking class. My partner and I, Justice had a task to cook Chelsea buns.

This is how you make it.

What you need:

• ¼ cup of warm water
• ½ tsp Edmonds active yeast.
• 3 cups Edmonds high grade flour.
• 1 tsp salt.
• 1 Tbsp sugar.
• ¾ cup of warm milk.
• 3 Tbsp melted butter.

Filling:

• 50g butter, softened
• ½ cup of Brown Sugar

Method:

• Place warm water and sugar into a small bowl. Stir so that the sugar will be dissolved. 
• Add ½ tsp of yeast into the mixture and place it into a warmer for 10 minutes.
• Sift 3 cups of flour and 1 tsp of salt into a large bowl. 
• Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in milk, melted butter and the yeast. Beat with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball.
• Take the ball of dough out and knead until the dough is smooth. 
• Punch the dough in the center and then roll out to a 30 x 25 cm rectangle. 
• For the filling you will need to brush the rectangle with melted butter and spread the ½ of brown sugar on it. 
• Roll out like a sponge and using a knife to cut it out into 12 pieces and place it into a metal tray.
• Bake at 190˚C for 25 minutes or until it is golden.
