Fruit Muffin and Fruit Bun

Next in the Bake-o-thon comes Fruit Muffin and Fruit Bun for the letter F. I had made Muffins last week and had bookmarked these bread as well. So I wanted to bake both. So here I have both almost similar ingredient proportions, but one using baking powder and soda, while the yeast was used in the bread.

When Rajani had made those Fruit Bread, I had wanted to make them myself. So here an adaption of the same with slight changes and makes an interesting snack for kids.

Fruit Buns

Ingredients

1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Yeast
1/2 cup Warm Water
1/2 tsp Sugar
2 tbsp Raisins
2 tsp Tutti Frutti
1 tsp Cranberries
2 tbsp Caster Sugar
2 tsp Butter
A Pinch Ground Ginger
A Pinch Salt

Instructions for making Fruit Buns

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and leave aside for 10 minutes to foam up.
In a big bowl, add the flour, salt and ground ginger. Rub in the butter with your finger tips till you get a crumb like consistency. Add the caster sugar and mix well.
Then, add the yeast mixture. Bring everything together into a dough and knead for 10 minutes till you get a smooth elastic ball consistency.
Place this in a clean, well oiled bowl. Cover and leave to rest for an hour or so, until the dough doubles in size.
Take out the dough, add the fruits and knead for a couple minutes until its all incorporated well. With the flour I used I got about 3 balls. Place and leave to rise for about 40 minutes, until it doubles up in size.
Preheat the oven to 200C and bake the bread for 15 minutes until its golden in color.
Now, top the bread with 2 tsp milk. Bake again for 2 mins.
