Delicious and fluffy buns made with einkorn flour and a touch of orange juice, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 600 g einkorn flour
- 1 cup orange juice (heated to 115°F)
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 9 g instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, or bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, spices, raisins, and yeast. Mix in the orange juice on low.
- Add the softened butter and egg to the bowl and mix well.
- Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30-90 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a pan, or line a baking tray with parchment.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls in the baking dish or tray, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
- Leave the buns uncovered and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they have puffed up slightly.
- Bake the buns for 25-35 minutes until they are golden brown and have an internal temperature of 185°F.
- While the buns are cooling, make the glaze. Mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.
- Once the buns are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top of each bun from left to right, and then again from top to bottom, forming the cross on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the orange juice is heated to 115°F for optimal yeast activation.
- The dough should be kneaded until it is elastic and smooth for the best texture.
- Allow the buns to rise adequately for a light and fluffy result.
