Before you jump to Sticky Iced Buns recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Healthy Eating Doesn’t Have To Be A Chore.

Healthy eating is today a good deal more popular than before and rightfully so. Poor diet is a contributing factor in illnesses such as heart disease and high blood pressure which can put a drain on the economy. There are more and more campaigns to try to get us to lead a healthier way of living and all the same it is also easier than ever to rely on fast, convenient food that is not good for our health. Most likely, most people assume that it takes a lot of work to eat healthily and that they will need to drastically alter their way of life. In reality, though, simply making a few small changes can positively affect daily eating habits.

One initial thing you can do is to pay close attention to the choices you make when you’re shopping for food because you probably purchase lots of food items out of habit. For instance, most probably you have never checked the box of your favorite cereal to see how much sugar it has. Having a bowl of oatmeal will provide you with the energy to face the day while protecting your heart at the same time. Add fruits or spices to improve how the oatmeal tastes and now you have a breakfast that can be a usual part of your new healthy diet.

As you can see, it’s easy to begin incorporating healthy eating into your daily lifestyle.

Instructions to make Sticky Iced Buns:
  1. Pre-soaked fruit is key here, so combine the fruit and boiling water etc and mix well, overnight is recommended but I left mine for 5 hours, stirring occasionally, until soft.
  2. Create your yeast mix, after around 20-30 minutes it will start foaming when it’s ready to use.
  3. Put the flour into a mixing bowl with all of the dough mix above then add the yeast mix and knead for about 10 minutes, it will become very elasticated and rubbery, It will also look very wet but don’t worry.
  4. Cover the dough mix with lightly oiled cling film (this prevents it from sticking) and leave the bowl in a warm place like an airing cupboard (I left it on the window sill in the sun). This will prove the dough mix.
  5. After about 30-45 minutes your dough mix will double in size, put it back to the mixer and knead again for 5 minutes. This really activates the gluten and improves the elasticity and helps create really light buns. Cover and allow to double in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees (gas mk 5) I put 2 dishes of boiling water in the bottom of the oven to create a combo oven effect which assists the cooking). Drain your fruit in a sieve.
  7. Make your bun glaze by bringing the ingredients up to the boil then allow to simmer for 5+ minutes until it thickens slightly. Then set to one side.
  8. Once your dough has doubled in size again, remove it from the bowl and put it onto a well dusted worktop and knead it into a ball.
  9. Using a rolling pin roll out your dough into a rectangular shape to about 1cm thick all over.
  10. Evenly sprinkle your soaked fruit over your dough mix leaving about 1 inch on the top edge.
  11. Roll the dough like a sausage up to the end, brush it with milk and finish the seal.
  12. Cut the roll into 1 inch sections and turn them on the side to expose the fruit, ensuring you shape them into rounds.
  13. Place the little buns on a baking tray (I put mine into a round shape like Chelsea buns), put half a glacé Cherry in the middle and cover with cling film and allow to prove in a warm place. I used my grill top as the oven had warmed it up nicely.
  14. Once the dough has doubled in size pop them into the oven for about 15 minutes until they have gone golden brown.
  15. Remove from the oven and immediately brush your buns with the glaze you made earlier.
  16. Place the buns onto a cooling rack. Once cool, sprinkle a little castor sugar to dust the tops, they can then be iced to finish, that’s it, they are ready to eat, as ever, enjoy.
