Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, cinnamon and salt.

3. Work in the sultanas and candied orange peel and knead for 1 more minute.
4. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in size.
5. Knock back the dough, divide it into 8 balls and flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick.
6. Place them on a tray lined with baking paper, cover and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.
7. Bake at 200 °C (gas mark 6-7) for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden.
