Process
Step 1
Place all the bun ingredients except the choc chips to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment mix on low speed for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Scrape down the bowl and mix on high speed for 7-10 minutes until the dough it smooth and elastic. Note: Dough will appear very soft at the start of high speed mixing. It will firm up throughout mixing.
Step 4
Tip out onto a work surface and knead through the choc chips.
Step 5
Lightly oil your mixing bowl then place the dough back into it and cover with a clean tea towel. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Tear off a small amount of the dough, about the size of a small apple(100g) and gently shape into a round ball.
Step 7
Place this on a shallow baking tray lined with paper and repeat with remaining dough. Ensure there is 2-3cm between each bun.
Step 8
Cover the buns and let the shaped buns rest in a warm place further 70-90 min.
Step 9
Preheat oven to 200oC (392oF).
Step 10
To make the piping mixture, combine the flour, cinnamon, sugar, oil and water in a small bowl and whisk until you have a smooth paste, add a little more flour or water as needed.
Step 11
Spoon mixture into a small plastic bag, snip off the bottom and slowly pipe a cross on top of the buns.
Step 12
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until buns are cooked through.
Step 13
Towards the end of your cooking time, combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, cook until sugar has dissolved and you have a syrup.
Step 14
As soon as the buns come out of the oven, brush the glaze generously over the top of each bun. Let cool a little then serve as is or with a smear of butter and a little jam.
