INGREDIENTS
4 ¼ cups (640g) plain flour (bread flour if available) 3 tsp McKenzie’s Bakers Yeast
½ cup (110g) caster sugar
2 tsp McKenzie’s Mixed Spice
2 tsp McKenzie’s Ground Cinnamon
½ tsp salt
50g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 ½ cups full cream milk (warmed in microwave for 45 seconds) 1 egg, room temperature
1 ½ cups (210g) sultanas or chocolate chips Zest of 2 oranges
Extra ¼ cup plain flour (if needed for sticky dough)
Syrup:
¾ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp cinnamon
METHOD
- Combine flour, yeast, sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a stand
- Attach a dough hook to the mixer and add butter, milk, egg, sultanas and orange zest to the flour. Mix until a smooth elastic dough forms for about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky and doesn’t come away from the side of the bowl, add another ¼ cup
- First rise: Leave the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size. Note: this can take anywhere between 1 hour to 1 ½ hour depending on how warm it is.
