Add all the dough ingredients (wet first, then dry) to your bread machine and as per manufacturer’s instructions, set the machine to make dough.
Take the dough from the machine (it is very sticky) and quickly knead for around 30 seconds on a well-floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle (around 40x50cm) with one of the shorter sides facing you (you will need to work the dough hard as it will be so elastic it will fight you every step of the way - that's a good sign).
Mix the filling ingredients together. Spread the filling evenly across the dough with a knife (there will not be enough to fill every inch of the dough but you don't need it to).
With the shorter side in front of you carefully roll the dough, making sure you pull it tight as you go.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into slices (you should get 12 buns, depending on how big they are). Pinch any edges together and use your hands to shape them into circles (they will already be round, but might need a little more shaping). Place them on the baking tray or in a dish quite close together.
Cover and let rest for around 20-30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 200C. Bake in the oven for around 20-22 minutes. Make sure they are cooked but don't over-bake them. Remove from the oven and allow to cool a little.
While still warm, brush on the syrup. Serve and enjoy!
