Apple-raisin bread/ bun !

Ingredients
1 apple, peeled, cored, cut into very fine pieces
 some raisins,
all spice ( nutmeg, cinnamon, clove pdr.)  1 tsp (or if you've all spice pdr. all the better)
dry yeast roughly 3/4 tsp
pinch of salt,
6 heaped tsp of sugar, 
1 heaped tbsp of butter
1 1/2 cups + self-raising flour
milk around 1/4 cup


Method

mix all dry ingredients, except apple & raisins.
warm milk & butter, add to dry ingredients mix well.
once you're able to knead it, this can be done with hand itself, add apple & raisins, if it is too sticky, add some more flour, to that you'ld be able to roll it easily.

If you're lazy like me, instead of making small buns by rolling them into nice rounds, by flattening the top slightly, well n good, just spread the dough into a nicely greased tray if you don't have bread baking pan, cover with a cling film, leave it aside in a warm place to rise double its size.

Pre-heat an oven at 180 deg. C, then bake the bread/ bun if you've shaped it for about 10-1 5 minutes, till the top is nice brown, when pierced in the middle , the knife should come out clean. If you like, you can glaze it by mixing butter 1 tsp  with 1 tsp of sugar while still hot to give it a shining look, or if calorie conscious like me ( bah) , then forget it, just cut & devour them while still warm.

While  baking make sure that your neighbours aren't around, as it has strong aroma, so that you may not get enough to eat for the yourself n your family ! My daughter-in-law loved it, almost finished half the tray ! while still warm with her cup of tea !
