Cake flour
( 3 x 250 ml / 3 cups )
5
ml
Salt
( 1 tsp )
80
ml
Brown sugar
( ⅓ cup )
2

( 1 tsp )
2

( ¼ cup )
250
ml
Warm milk
( 1 cup )
5
ml
Orange zest
( 1 tsp )
Method
Sift flour, salt, sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg and cinnamon into a large bowl. Add the Anchor Instant Yeast and mix.
Mix the melted butter with the yoghurt and warm milk. Add the orange zest and mix. Test with the finger if the temperature is lukewarm – 30 °C.
Add the milk mixture into the flour mixture and mix until it becomes a soft ball of dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, for 5 – 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Sprinkle with a little flour if too sticky.
Cover the dough wiwth greased plastic and leave to rest in a warm place, until double in volume ( approx. 1 hour ).
Mix the ingredients for the filling together and set aside, covered.
Knock the dough down and roll out into a 20 x 35 cm rectangle.
Spread the date filling on the surface of the dough and roll up the dough. Seal the dough edge with the fingertips and turn the seal toward the bottom.
Ensure that the roll is even in thickness and the length is at least 30 cm long, to enable cutting 12 spirals. Place the spirals onto a greased baking tray and cover with greased plastic.
Allow to rise in a warm place until double in size, about 30 – 35 minutes.
