Lenten Currant Buns with Tsoureki Flavor
An easy to follow recipe for sweet currant buns that can be eaten every day, especially during Lent. Whole wheat flour makes them more nutritious but of course they can be made just with plain white flour. The amount of sugar is enough to make them mild sweet, so that you can feel the sweetness of the currants. And just because I love tsoureki, I always add the two magic spices, mahleb & mastic. The result is a perfectly balanced & healthy sweet bread with wonderful flavor, you should definitely try.
