I hope you have made visits to your local supermarkets with big long scribbled shopping grocery list, must be there are a few ingredients on the list which are hard to pronounce. Can’t blame anyone, as we all have desire to create something complex, elegant and delicious on Christmas for our family ! I did mine yesterday, spent almost two hours in the supermarket and now fully prepared for Peeling, Chopping, stuffing, roasting, boiling, flaming and baking – Christmas can feel like the ultimate taste of the kitchen ! We are a good bunch of foodies and love to cook and that means the kitchen is the hub in the home. Especially this time of the year, copious festive dishes are flowing from the kitchen. It could be variety of mains, lunches or breakfasts and everything obviously baking up a storm in the kitchen, because many moments of togetherness happen around food ! Clementine and Mix spice buns, I coated them in Mix spice sugar and for Saffron and Mix Spice Buns I glazed them in saffron glaze. Delicious and decadent homemade spiraled Christmas buns are so soft. Whole family enjoyed both the flavours equally these mouthwatering buns at breakfast. They were incredibly moreish, fantastic with a cuppa. You will need :- Dry mixture for the dough
3 cup strong white bread flour 1 cup wholewheat flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 2 tbsp. fast action yeast 4 tbsp. caster sugar

Pour in the milk mixture in to each bowl and stir well until it forms a soft and sticky dough. Tip the dough onto lightly oiled surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes. ( I used my food processor with dough hook ) Transfer the both dough into two different lightly oiled bowl and cover with the clean kitchen towel for about 45 to 50 minutes in a warm place or until it doubles in size.
