  1. Place the flour, yeast, cinnamon, sugar and 1 tsp salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix well. Warm the milk in a small saucepan and stir into the flour with the eggs to form a rough dough. Knead for 5 minutes then gradually add in the butter until well mixed. Add the mixed peel and Walnuts and mix until evenly combined. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover, leave to prove in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
