Ingredients

Dough:

• • 200ml lukewarm milk
  • 1 tbsp (7g) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar

• • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 550g all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp salt

Filling and Topping:

• • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • Dried candied fruits (as per preference)

• 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

1. 1. Warm the milk to lukewarm temperature (approximately 38°C or 100°F). Ensure it is not too hot, as it could kill the yeast.
   2. In a bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Mix gently and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. When the mixture is frothy, the yeast has been successfully activated.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened butter, remaining sugar, and the frothy yeast mixture.
   2. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing as you go. Start by stirring with a wooden spoon, then transition to kneading the dough by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook.
   3. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until it is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. If the dough feels too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the right consistency is reached.

Step 3: First Proofing

1. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
2. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 4: Incorporate the Candied Fruits

1. 1. Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release air.

1. 1. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 1.5 cm thick).
   2. Brush the surface with melted butter and evenly sprinkle your desired amount of candied fruits.
   3. Roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking in the edges as you go.

Step 5: Shape and Second Proofing

1. Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan or shape it into smaller rolls for individual servings.
2. Cover again and let it proof for 30–45 minutes, or until it has puffed up significantly.

Step 6: Bake the Bread

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

1. Mix the egg yolk and milk for the egg wash, then gently brush it over the surface of the bread for a golden, shiny finish.
2. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and emits a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

1. 1. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

1. Slice and serve warm with butter, jam, or simply enjoy it as is.

How to prepare delectable fruit scones in an air fryer. This is the recipe for you if you enjoy scones and would like to try sultana scones.

Components:

1. Self-raising Flour, 225 g
2. Butter (50 g unsalted)
3. 35 grams of caster sugar
4. 50 grams of currants
5. One medium-sized egg
6. One beaten little egg
7. 60 milliliters of skim milk
8. Cooking Appliances
9. Air Fryer from Philips
10. Set of Round Cookie Cutter

Guidelines:

• Place the flour and sugar in a bowl, and then mix in the chunky-cut butter.
• Incorporate the lard into the flour and sugar mixture until a coarse breadcrumb mixture is formed.
• After that, thoroughly stir in the egg and currants.
• Add enough milk after that to form a dough. gradually adding milk until a soft ball of dough is achieved.
• Using a floured rolling pin and a floured countertop, roll out your dough. For smaller fruit scones, go thin like us, or double the thickness for conventional scones.
• Cut equal scone circles with your chosen cookie or scone cutter.
• After that, put as many of them as will fit into the air fryer, brush the tops with egg wash, and air fry for 8 minutes at 180°C/360°F, working in batches if necessary.
• After that, serve with cheese and butter.

Observations:

• milk. I suggest using 60ml (4 tablespoons) of milk to aid in binding the dough for your scones. then gradually adding more. You cannot take something away, but you can always add more.
• berries. If you want a lot of currants in your dough, you can definitely increase the amount I used, which was about 50g.
• Height. Observe that our fruit scones are half as tall as those you may buy in stores. This is because we feel this to be sufficient for us and don’t have a big appetite. If you want them to be more conventional, roll the dough to double their thickness, which will result in six considerably higher ones.

Making excellent rice might seem easy, but getting that light, tasty, and fragrant outcome needs more than just water and rice. Experienced chefs and hotels have become experts at cooking rice by using special techniques and ingredients that make this basic food even better. Let’s reveal these hidden tips so you can make delicious restaurant-style rice at home.
