Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk, warmed
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried currants
For the spiced honey butter glaze:

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add the warmed milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and knead in the cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and dried currants.
Shape the dough into a ring and place it on a greased baking sheet.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bun ring for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the bun ring is baking, prepare the spiced honey butter glaze. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Remove the bun ring from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Brush the spiced honey butter glaze over the top of the bun ring.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
