Makes 12-15
- Ingredients
- 4x250ml cake flour (4 cups)
- 10ml salt
- 60ml sugar
- 10g sachet of instant yeast
- 120ml olive oil
- 300-400ml warm water to mix
FILLING
160ml sugar
grated rind of 2 oranges
100g butter
ICING
375ml sifted icing sugar
orange juice to mix
Method
Combine the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl.
Add the olive oil and enough warm water to form a dough that is soft, but not sticky. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
Put the dough in an oiled plastic bag and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size. Remove the dough and roll out on a floured surface to form a rectangle.
Spread the filling and roll up from the long side. Cut the roll into 3cm-thick slices and place cut-side up on an oven tray that has been lined with non-stick baking paper and sprayed with cooking spray.
Cover the buns and set aside to rise for about 20-30 minutes.
Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into a bun comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with the icing while still warm.
FILLING: Put the sugar in a bowl and add the orange rind.
Work the rind into the sugar and set aside for the flavours to infuse.
Combine the butter and sugar and mix well.
ICING: Put the icing sugar into a bowl.
Add enough orange juice to form a stiff icing.
