Chelsea Buns

Put the dough into greased bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave for an hour to rise.

Knock back and roll out into a rectangle. Brush with 25g of melted butter and sprinkle with 75g of soft brown sugar, a generous amount of cinnamon and 150g of sultanas or mixed fruit. Roll up into along sausage and cut into slices - about 3cm.

Place slices onto a lined baking tray and cover with a damp tea towel and leave for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 190 degrees C or Gas Mark 5. Bake buns for 20-25 minutes.
