Tutti frutti scrolls – Candied fruit buns

tutti frutti scrolls |candied fruit buns

Once you start getting a hang of bread making, you do want to practice your newly acquired skill more often. This gives you confidence and helps you recognise the errors and iron out small difficulties. Going on this idea, we decided to make some tutti fruti scrolls. These soft and pillowy candied fruit buns pull off in concentric layers that make it so fun.

What is tutti frutti ?

Tutti frutti (or tooti frooti) is colourful candied raw papaya bits. These were so popular during our childhood that it is still the one that wins me over than the funfetti or sprinkles. You can buy them easily in an Indian grocery (look for ones that are coloured naturally) or make some by boiling the raw papaya bits in a double strength sugar solution with some added food colouring.

If no tutti frutti, then what can I add?

Preserved or candied fruit if any type will work in this recipe. You can choose, from raisins, dried blueberries,  candied orange peels or blackcurrant in its place. You can swap over to some chocolate chips too.

The dough method for this bun

Since we are practising the basic yeast dough to make the blackcurrant loaf, we have used the same method to make these buns.  Moreover, I wanted a chewier scroll than a fluffier one, hence the yeast-based one with bread flour was perfect.

How to prevent the tutti-frutti from falling off?

The tutti frutti is kneaded into the dough after first proofing. This ensures that they are not just at the surface and so will not fall off. Again the flattened dough is rolled and folded over multiple times to create layers. So it is pretty stuck and doesn’t fall off.

Does the tutti fruit easily burn?

If you have calibrated your oven and set the temperature correctly the tutti frutti should not burn off. In addition, place your buns on the middle rack so they are not too close to the heating element. This should take care of the baking without burning. If you still sense the burning turn the oven down by 5 degrees and continue watching the time. Before you bake a second time don’t forget to calibrate the oven again.

Are these scrolls sweet?

The scrolls are lightly sweet and not in a sweet bun. However, you can glaze the buns like we have to make them as a sweet treat. If you are looking for a savoury bread to bake try our wholewheat focaccia bread recipe.
