18th century Bath buns with sugar-coated caraway seeds, inspired by Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery.

Ingredients:

250 ml milk
14 g fresh yeast or 7g dried yeast
450 g strong white flour plus extra for dusting
30 g sugar
225 g butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon caraway seeds optional
12 rough-cut white sugar cubes
1 large free-range egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons sugar
4 rough cut white sugar cubes

Instructions:

Heat milk until tepid, then stir in yeast. In a mixer or large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix in butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in caraway seeds and yeasty milk until well combined. Rest dough for 10 minutes. Stretch and slap dough for 5 minutes until elastic. Knead dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Let dough rise for 1 hour 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 190ºC/gas 5. Divide dough, shape into balls, and place sugar cube in the center. Let rise for 30 minutes. Brush with egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Warm milk and sugar for glaze, brush over buns. Sprinkle sugar and caraway seeds on top. Enjoy warm.
