Sweet Muffin/Buns. ( Like a brioche)

[cookie1]

Sweet Muffin Buns. I made them as Hot Cross Muffins
Makes 9-12
Ingredients
450g bread flour
½ teaspoon salt
50g butter
2 teaspoons dry yeast
2 teaspoons mixed spice
50g castor sugar
zest of one lemon
275ml milk
2 eggs
200g mixed dried fruits
Preparation
Place eggs, milk and sugar into the bowl. Speed 4, 10 seconds.
Add the yeast, 2minutes, speed 1 at 37 degrees.
Add all the other ingredients and   for 2 minutes. This is a VERY sloppy dough.
Set aside to rise until double.
Stir the dough down and beat in the dried fruits with a wooden spoon. It is very easy.
Line muffin tins with large papers. (see in the photo)
Put about ½ cup of mixture into each muffin tin.
Turn oven to 200 degrees.
Leave to rise about 30-60 minutes, depending on the weather.
Cook at 200 degrees for 30-45 minutes.

These can be glazed with a little honey if you wish.

Yes Chookie, they do freeze well. I took some out of the freezer this morning and warmed them up. They were still lovely.
