Preparation

1

Triple Chocolate and Ginger Chelsea Buns

Place the fruit into a bowl, cover with boiling water and set aside. 

2

To make the dough, combine the flour, yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle over the salt. Over a low heat melt the butter and Dark Chocolate in a small saucepan. Once melted, add the milk and continue to heat until it reaches 37°.

3

Tip the milk mix into the flour mixture and bring together with fingertips until a sticky dough forms. Tip it out on to a work surface and knead until it comes together. It is quite a wet mixture so this may take about 10 minutes. 

4

Place in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180° Fan, Gas Mark 6).

5

Tip on to a floured surface and roll out into large rectangle about 5mm thick.  Spread with the softened butter. 

6

To make the filling, drain the fruit and combine with the remaining filling ingredients. Sprinkle over the buttered dough. 

7

Starting from a long side, roll in to a fairly tight, long sausage. Divide into 12 pieces. Arrange on a 35cm x 26cm deep sided roasted tin, cut side up. Cover with cling film and leave to prove until only about 1cm of space remains between each bun. 

8

Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven, whilst hot glaze with the apricot jam. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Once cooled melt the white chocolate and drizzle using a teaspoon over the top of the Chelsea buns.
