      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Dough

  1.  Place the Extra dates into TM bowl and chop 2 sec / Turbo X 2, set aside.

     

      

    Add the other 100g of dates to TM Bowl and chop 2 sec / Turbo X 2 or until just chopped into pieces.

     

    Add Milk and yeast to dates in the TM,  2 mins / 37 degrees /  sp 1. 

     

    Add Flour, natural bread improver (optional), brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt & egg and knead Dough mode /  7 mins. 

     

    Without too much delay - Add the extra dates that you set aside earlier and knead Dough mode /  1 min. 

     

    Tip - Try not to let the dough sit too long before adding extra dates as the dough can settle on the base of the bowl and make it difficult to start kneading again.

     

    Place (sticky) dough onto TM mat, wrap in TM mat and allow to prove until doubled in size. This can take 1 to 2 hours or longer depending on your climate.

     

  2. Tip - The dough needs to double in size for light fluffy buns. I place mine in the oven on 90 degrees or defrost temp and they take 90 minutes.

     

     

    Once doubled in size gently divide into 12 pieces with TM spatula on TM mat into approximatly 90 - 100 grams for each bun.

  3.  

     

     

    Tip - If dough is sticky just sprinkle a little bakers flour on dough,  making it easier to divide and roll.

  4. Place on TM Baking Mat and allow to prove for another 45 minutes.

     

     

    Tip - I place mine back into the 90 degree oven to prove for the second time

  5.  

     

     

     

    Before second prove

  6.  

     

     

    Make cross mixture.

     

    Once the buns have "proved" a second time, remove from oven and start to preheat the oven to 180 degrees whilst you pipe the crosses on to the buns please see tips below...

     

    Place buns into hot oven to bake for approx. 20 minutes

     

     

    Tip - you can place them into the oven as it is heating up you may need to add a couple of minutes to cooking time.

     

     

  7.  

     

     

    Place buns into hot oven to bake for approx. 20 minutes

     

     

  8.  

    Fresh out of the oven

  9.  

    Fresh out of the oven

  10. Glaze with caramel glaze, see below...

    11. Cross Mixture

  11. Add the flour and water to the TM bowl mix 30 sec / sp 4, scrape down tm bowl and repeat if necessary.

     

    Place into a small ziplock plastic bag.

     

    Snip off the corner of the bag with the piping mixture in it..

     

    Pipe a continuous line accross the centre of each row of buns both lengthways and widthways to form the crosses. 

     

     

    12. Caramel Glaze

  12. Place ingredients into TM bowl mix sp 2 / 1 minute

     

    Use a pastry brush to glaze buns with caramel sauce while buns are still warm.

     

    Tip - this caramel glaze makes enough to double glaze the buns.

    Very good, nice dough & not too sweet. But the tahini glaze was too bitter so I substituted for salted caramel sauce.
