Instructions

Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.

Step 1

Preheat your Gozney oven to 430°F / 220°C (stone floor temperature). Pour the milk into a pan and heat in the oven for a couple of minutes until warm. Place the flour into a stand mixer. Make a well in the middle and pour in the sugar, add the salt to one side of the bowl and the yeast to the other side.

Step 2

Start the mixer slowly and pour in half the warm milk and the egg, as it comes together, add more of the milk if the dough feels dry. Grate over the lemon zest.

Step 3

Once the dough starts to form add in the very soft butter a lump at a time. Mix for 5-7 minutes until its stretchy and you can see through it. If the mix isn't too wet tip out onto an oiled surface and hand knead so you can feel it.

Step 4

Using the vegetable oil, oil a large bowl and add in the dough. Cover with cling film or plastic wrap and place in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until at least doubled in size.

Step 5

For the cowboy crumble, add all the ingredients to a heatproof pan and mix. Place in the oven for 5 mins and then mix, place back into the oven and mix, place back into the oven and mix until the crumble is golden and crumble like. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 6

For the filling, mix all the ingredients apart from the apple until combined and spreadable.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, knock back and roll out on a well floured surface to 12x16inch rectangle.

Step 8

Spread the filling over the dough and grate over the apple. Roll up from the long side. Cut into 10 equal pieces. Arrange the rolls swirl side up into a round skillet lined with greaseproof, make sure you leave space for the dough to prove. Place in a bag and in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 9

Glaze the proved buns with the egg. Place a trivet or tray into the oven so that the skillet doesn’t touch the bottom of the oven and make sure the oven has reduce to embers. Place the buns into the oven and shut the door, allow to bake for 20 minutes then turn and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden.

Step 10

Remove the buns from oven. Mix the maple syrup and fresh ginger together, drizzle all over the buns. Sprinkle over the crumble and decorate like Christmas if you wish!
