Ingredients

Dough

1 cup barley flour

1/4 cup bread flour

2/3 Cup water

3/4 Cup Guinness beer

1/4 cup barley flakes*

3 tsp yeast, fresh

1 tsp vital gluten

2 tsp sugar

2 tsp butter, melted

1 tsp egg yolk

1 tsp salt

Filling

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1Tbsp cinnamon

1 large granny smith apple, chopped

Icing

1 cup icing sugar

1 cup cream cheese

2 Tbsp maple syrup

Directions

Combine flours, water, and beer and let stand unrefrigerated for 4 hours or overnight. Soak the barley flakes in water for 30 minutes; drain well and add to flour mixture. Add yeast, vital gluten, sugar, butter, egg yolk, and salt to flour mixture; mix with a dough hook for 1-2 minutes on low speed, then 3-5 minutes on medium speed. Cover and let rest for half an hour. Roll dough out to 1/8" thick, brush generously with melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple. Roll dough up into a tight log. Cut log into 2 inch pieces and place close together in a greased round baking pan, cut side up. Bake 18-20 minutes at 400F. Once slightly cooled, spread icing on top. Yields 12 buns. For icing, cream together icing sugar and cream cheese with a mixer until smooth, then add maple syrup until all is incorporated.
