dissolved cornflour, and cook for a further
minute until mixture thickens. Remove

2. Combine the yeast, sugar, butter and
water in a small bowl. Allow to stand in a
warm place until mixture begins to froth.
About 10 minutes.
3. Insert the dough hooks into the Mixer
Head. Place sifted dry ingredients,
including sultanas into the Mixmaster
bowl.
4. Using ‘LO’ speeds, gradually add yeast
mixture. Note, it will be necessary to
scrape sides of bowl with a rubber
spatula. Increase speed slowly. Knead for
4-5 minutes.
5. Continue the kneading process until all
ingredients are incorporated and dough
forms a ball. Dough will be smooth and
sticky.

once to grease top. Cover with plastic
wrap and let rise in a warm place until
doubled in size (40-50 minutes).
7. Punch down, fold sides to centre and
turn the dough over. Knead dough on a
lightly floured surface until soft and
smooth. Cut in half and roll dough out
into a rectangle, approximately 30x20cm.

of the dough and roll up tightly, Swiss
Roll fashion, from the wide end.
9. Ease the roll into a greased ring tin and
join ends. Cover, and allow to rise for
approximately 40-50 minutes. Preheat
oven to 200°C.
