Chocolate Orange Chelsea Buns

Guess Who’s Back …
Yeah, yeah, yeah! I’m not going to go in to the whole “Why I Was Missing” thing. Let’s just say this is my food blog and I will blog when I want to! *sung to Cindy Lauper’s little number that was really popular MANY years ago!*
*waves at her welcoming fans and blushes*
I managed to land myself a stunning Verlaque Gift Bag in their “Upside Down V Challenge”!!! YAY ME!! Encased in the beautiful packaging was jar of “Burnt Orange Seville Preserve”. Come on Verlaque!!! I am a “basic beginner” blogger! No fancy schmancy goodies come out of my humble little kitchen!
However, after a little inspiration from Nina and I-Like-Silly’s Fudge Bread, I came up with these babies!!
Chocolate Orange Chelsea Buns
Ingredients
1 pkt Ready Made Bread Dough – thanks to My Spar!
Verlaque Burnt Orange Seville Preserve
3 Tablespoons Treacle Sugar
100g Dark Chocolate, chopped into smallish chunks
Ground Cinnamon
125ml Cream
Glaze:
1 Cup Icing Sugar, sifted
2ml Lemon Juice
Water, as required
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Cover work surface with flour (to prevent the dough from REALLY irritating you).
Roll / press out dough into a rectangular shape. Make sure it is quite thin as it will still rise!
Generously spread with Verlaque Burnt Orange Seville Preserve. Don’t be shy! We could have used more, but were scared it would be too overpowering.
Sprinkle sugar over preserve.
Sprinkle chocolate chunks over preserve and sugar and lightly sprinkle with cinnamon (less than a tablespoon – these are Chocolate Orange Chelsea Buns, not normal cinnamon buns!)
Roll up dough, like a swiss roll, lengthways.
Cut into 2,5cm rounds.
Grease a dish, well, and place said rounds into dish – cut side up. Leave space for them to rise!
Leave to rise until they have doubled in size and pour cream over dough.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake until cooked through and golden brown.
Allow to cool while you mix the glaze ingredients until you have a smooth and not-too-runny icing glaze.
Pour over Chelsea Buns and allow glaze to set.
Serve with a cup of good, strong coffee or a delicious cup of Jasmine Tea!

JustChef said on February 14, 2011
I was at a loss as to what to make with it! These were really great! The cream lets it go all gooey! YUM!
Sous-Chef said on February 14, 2011
Those look terrific! I like the decadent idea of the cream. Please tell me how you put your name on the photos.
JustChef said on February 14, 2011

*smile & wave* loving the chelsea buns!!!
I will definitely try this soon!!! (minus the orange goodies, since I didnt win any…;) )
JustChef said on February 14, 2011
*smiles and waves right back!* I think marmelade would work just as well. Or use orange flavoured chocolate perhaps?
sharonsmit said on February 14, 2011
mmmhh… or just more chocolate? hehe
JustChef said on February 14, 2011
Nutella!! You might need a little more cream then?
sharonsmit said on February 14, 2011
You are reading my thoughts!!
JustChef said on February 14, 2011
*cue X-Files music* Maybe?! Or ditch the sugar and use some raspberry (just a bit) jam!
sharonsmit said on February 14, 2011
lol’s
Me thinks – more chocolate, less jam – more syrupy fudgey goodness!!
JustChef said on February 14, 2011
Oh! My! Hat! Chocolate Fudge Bread …
sharonsmit said on February 14, 2011
With pancakey Cinnamon!

Zabwan said on February 14, 2011
Well, this is a awesome recipe to get back into blogging with!!!!!!
Wow…all that deliciousness, and then you chuck cream over it *Z sits here drooling*
JustChef said on February 14, 2011
Thank You Zabby!! It’s just a little cream *evil cackle*. Was thinking that this could be made on the fire too … perhaps?

Looks great! If we get delectable goodies like these after your long breaks, I’m not complaining.
Zabwan said on February 14, 2011
That did cross my one-track mind!!! I’m sure it could, and I will have to try it. If it works, may I feature it in my Caravan mag cooking article?
