Preparation
Step 1
Mix the chia with the water and leave to sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, yeast, mixed spice and sugar until there are no lumps. Add the milk and chia seeds and whisk together to form a dough.
Step 3
Place the mixture into a kitchen mixer and add the raisins and coconut oil. Use the bread hook attachment to knead until a thick, elastic dough forms - about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Place the dough into a large mixing bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Place in the warmest place in the room and wait until it doubles in size - this could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 5
Once the dough has doubled in size, weigh out 14 equal sized balls (they should be around 80g each). Using your hands, shape them into ball shapes and place them on a baking tray with a sprinkle of plain flour. Let them prove again until they reach double the size - this could again take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 6
In the meantime, mix the plain flour (for the icing) with the maple syrup until it creates a thick paste - place into a piping bag.
Step 7
Once the buns have doubled in size, pipe a cross of icing across each.
Step 8
Once ready to cook - preheat the oven to 200C (400F), fan setting.
Step 9
Cook the buns for 10-15 minutes until golden. Once cooked, remove from the oven.
Step 10
Glaze each bun with a little more maple syrup as soon as they come out of the oven.
