You’ll need:
1kg store-bought bread dough; 2 tbsp butter; 1 cup brown sugar; 1 cup fresh cream
Method:
Grease a pot generously with butter. Knock the dough down and shape golf-sized balls. Place balls in the pot, at least 3cm apart. Place the lid on and allow it to prove for 30-40 minutes. The dough balls will expand as they prove.
Preheat your oven to 180°C while the dough balls are proving in the pot. Once the oven is hot and the balls have risen, stir together the sugar and cream and pour it over the dough balls. Cover with the lid and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time! To test if it is done, insert a thin skewer. If it comes out clean with no dough sticking to it, it’s ready.
