Ingredients

  • 500 sandwich bread white (we used Wright's)
  • 100 sugar 
  •  eggs 
  • 350 powdered sugar 
  • 20 servings purple gel food coloring (plus food colouring, if you like)

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • oven
  • wire rack
  • blender
  • baking pan
  • kitchen towels

Directions

  1. Pulse together the bread mix and sugar in a food processor or table-top mixer. While the motor is running, add the egg and about 250-300ml lukewarm water, until a soft dough is formed. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 mins. Leave in an oiled bowl, covered with oiled cling film, in a warm place until doubled in size about 1 hr.
  2. Knock back dough by squashing with your fist, and divide into 20 even-sized pieces keep covered with a clean tea towel so they dont dry out. Shape each into a sausage and place on an oiled baking tray. Cover with oiled cling film and rise until doubled in size again.
  3. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  4. Remove film and cook buns on top shelf for 8-10 mins, until golden. Cool on a wire rack. To decorate, mix icing sugar with a little water until stiff but spreadable add food colouring, if you like. Dip in the top of each bun and scatter with sprinkles.
