Preparation
- Mix all the dough ingredients together and knead well. Cover the dough and leave to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours, then knock back and knead lightly.
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll each into an oblong about 12 inches by 8 inches. Mix the filling ingredients together and divide between the dough, spreading over each piece. Roll up the oblongs as tightly as possible into two 12-inch sausages. Place these side by side, touching, on a greased baking sheet. Cover and leave to rise for about 40 minutes. Heat the oven to 200°C (425°F) and bake for 30–35 minutes until well risen and golden brown — the bread should sound hollow when the base is tapped.
- Remove from the oven and brush the hot top with milk, then sift over a generous covering of icing sugar.
