6. Bake in the oven for 10 mins.

For Chelsea Buns or Chocolate Tear-and-Share.

1. Beat 50g butter and 50g soft brown sugar together.

2. Roll out your dough so that it is 1/2 cm thick.

3. Spread on the butter and sugar mix. Add the sultanas and/or chocolate chunks.

4. Roll up into a log shape and cut in to slices.
Leave to rise for 30mins to 1hour (the longer you leave it the larger it will get) in a warm dry place ith a clean tea-towel covering them. Don’t heat up the bread too much other wise you will ‘kill’ the yeast and it will not rise.

Place in the pre-heated oven for 10 mins.
