Ingredients
Scale
500 grams of kamut flour
100 grams of active sourdough starter
300 milliliters of water
75 grams of unsalted butter
75 grams of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
100 grams of currants or raisins
1 egg
Optional: mixed peel
Optional: cardamom
Special garnish: glaze (icing sugar and lemon juice)
Special garnish: candied fruit
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine kamut flour, sugar, salt, and spices. Mix together before adding your sourdough starter and water. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.
Knead in the egg and softened butter until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 4-6 hours or until doubled.
Deflate the dough gently and add your dried fruit. Portion into 12 equal pieces and shape them into rounds.
Cover again and let them rise for another 1-2 hours, or until puffed.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a slurry to pipe the crosses.
Pipe the cross mixture across the tops of the buns.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
While warm, brush with the glaze mixture.
