Sunday Bunday Baking Challenge - Sweet Dough (Iced Finger Buns)

Today was "Sunday Bunday" Baking Challenge.  The theme this week was "Sweet Dough".

I used a Paul Hollywood recipe for my iced finger buns.

In my head, I had something sticky with nuts and lovely flavours.  Unfortunately, for some unknown reason the dough just didn't rise how I expected it to, leaving me wondering if I should continue with a bake or not.  

If I continued with the theme that I had planned, I could have wasted more ingredients, so I decided to keep it simple and make an iced bun with fresh whipped cream and raspberry jam.

The whole process takes quite a while.  I gave it an hour and a half to proove initially, moulded into shape and then a further prove of an hour before a quick ten minute bake, then there was making the icing, whipping the cream and the jam.  I didn't make the jam, I strained some Tesco Finest Raspberry jam instead.  

I have to say, even though the whole process was a bit of a faff, they actually taste ok, maybe the bread area is a little heavier than it should be but if it tastes ok, then that is half the battle!
