Fluffy Hot Cross Buns

You can't go through Easter without Hot Cross Buns. Why not make them yourself. You won't be disappointed with this delicious recipe. Thanks to Thermomumma for these super soft and fluffy buns with my tweak using doTERRA essential oil. I used my thermomix for this recipe, however a food processor and good old fashion hand kneading works just as well.

Buns

Cross Mixture

  • 4 tbsp Water
  • 4 tbsp Flour

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar

Tip dough onto an oiled surface & flatten out. Add your sultanas & knead by hand till well combined.
Wrap in a thermomat or cover with a tea-towel & allow the dough to sit for 15 minutes before using.
Knock down dough & divide into 80g portions. Arrange on a baking tray spaced a few cms apart.
Place tray in a warm moist area to prove. If you are proving in a dry heat please spray your dough with water & cover your tray or the dough will dry out.
