60g Almond Milk 

25g water

5g salt 

30g granulated sugar 

140ml almond milk 

7g instant yeast 

40g coconut oil

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

50g light brown sugar

Allergens highlighted in bold.

PREPARATION:

1.For the tangzhong, mix the ingredients in a saucepan and heat over a low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, then allow to cool. 

2. For the dough, mix the milk and the yeast in a jug and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, salt and sugar and make a well in the centre. Pour in the milk mixture, tangzhong and the coconut oil. 

3. Knead with the dough hook for 10 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until a smooth, soft dough has formed. Cover the bowl with cling film or damp tea towel and leave to rise in the dough proving oven function for 1 hour, until doubled in size. 

4. Meanwhile, make the filling by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Place over a low heat and stir constantly until thickened to a jam-like consistency. This will take about 5 minutes and the blueberries will have broken down slightly. Allow to cool. 

5. When the dough has risen, knock the air out of the dough and place on a floured surface. Roll the dough into a 40 x 25cm rectangle and spread the blueberry filling onto the dough. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and tightly roll up the dough like a ‘Swiss roll’. 

6. Slice the dough into 2.5cm pieces and arrange in a greased 23cm cake tin, so all the edges are touching. Prove in the dough proving oven function for 30 minutes, until doubled in size. 

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes on bread baking 200ºC, until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin and adding the glaze. 

8. To make the glaze, mix the lemon juice 1 tbsp at a time into the icing sugar until smooth and runny. Either drizzle over the buns with a spoon or using a piping bag.
