How to make Apple Twist Buns

Step 1

Make a ‘chia egg’ by combining water and chia seeds. Stir, then add in milk and golden syrup.

Step 2

Stir until golden syrup is dissolved. Set aside for a few minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle yeast on top of your chia mixture. Set aside until yeast is starting to foam.

Step 4

Once it’s foaming, add oil. Then add flour, cinnamon, lemon zest & salt.

Step 5

Bring all the ingredients together using your hands to create a rough dough.

Step 6

Knead for approx. 10 minutes until the dough is shaped into a loose, elastic ball.

Step 7

Place the dough into a very large bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Step 8

In the meantime, prepare your filling by mixing all the filling ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 9

Once your dough has doubled in size, remove it from the bowl.

Step 10

Place the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out (aim for approx. 0.5 cm in thickness).

Step 11

Spread the filling equally across the entire surface.

Step 12

To create the buns, fold the top third of your dough over the second (middle) third. Then pull the lower third over the second third. Press down very gently.

Step 13

Cut the dough into 10 long strips. Then cut each strip vertically into 3 long pieces, leaving the top bit attached (to be able to plait it).

Step 14

Plait/bread each strip (right over the middle, then left over the middle & continue).

Step 15

Pick up each plait/braid, fold the top & the bottom third under the middle third and place it in a greased muffin/cupcake tin.

Step 16

Feel free to create the twist/plait any other way if you prefer – every type of twist will work well so feel free to experiment.

Step 17

Mix the two glaze ingredients and brush the glaze over the twist buns.

Step 18

Cover with a sheet of aluminium foil and let rise for 45 minutes.
