Here are the Hot Cross buns we made, ready for breakfast tomorrow... Hot Cross Buns: 200g strong white bread flour 300g plain white flour 125ml warm water 125ml warm milk 5g dried powdered yeast 10g fine sea salt 50g caster sugar 1 medium free range egg 1 teaspoon of mixed spice 1 teaspoon of nutmeg (I used freshly grated) 50g butter, melted 1/2 orange zest 1/2 lemon zest 125g sultanas ( and 25g mixed peel - optional) Combine the flours, spices, water, milk, yeast, salt and sugar in the mixer bowl and fit the dough hook Add the beaten egg and butter and mix to a sticky dough - it will seem very sticky but don't be tempted to add more flour.
Knead on a low speed, with the dough hook attachment on your mixer, until silky and smooth (approx 8 mins). Put in a buttered bowl and cover with clingfilm – leave to rise for 1 hour or overnight. Knock back the dough and gently knead in the zest & dried fruit. Butter and flour a baking tray. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Hannah's Country Kitchen. C&C Cakery.
