Ingredients
- 500g/1lb 2oz strong white flour
- plus extra for dusting
- 50g/2oz caster sugar
- 10g/¼oz salt
- 40g/1½oz unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- plus extra for greasing the tin
- 2 free-range eggs
- 2 x 7g sachets fast-acting dried yeast
- 150ml/5fl oz lukewarm milk
- 90ml/6 tbsp lukewarm water
- 280g/10oz cranberry sauce
- 300g/10½oz leftover turkey

- 200g/7oz leftover sage and onion stuffing
Directions
- Place the flour
- caster sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter
- eggs
- yeast
- milk and warm water.
- Mix the ingredients with your hands until a rough dough is formed.
- Tip the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead well for ten minutes
- or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a clean
- oiled bowl
- cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for one hour.
- Tip the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 50x28cm/20x11in. Turn the dough so that the longer edge is closest to you and “tack� the dough to the work surface by pressing it down firmly with your finger.
- Spread cranberry sauce onto the surface of the dough with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the shredded turkey and stuffing on top.
- Roll the long side of the dough towards you quite tightly
- forming a spiral inside. When rolled up
- release the tacked edge and place it onto a floured part of the surface. With a sharp knife cut the sausage shape into 5cm/2in rounds.
- Place all spiral rounds
- swirly side up
- into a large
- deep roasting tin or baking tray greased thoroughly with butter
- leaving a 1cm/½in space between each one. You want them to be close enough so that they will bake with their sides touching.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside in a warm place to rise for an hour. They should have expanded and be touching each other.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- When the buns are ready
- put them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- After removing the buns from the oven
- let them cool slightly before removing them from the tin and placing on a cooling rack.
- When ready to eat
- pull the buns apart to reveal the soft edges.
