Hot Cross Buns - which recipe to use?

[PaulaM]

oooh choc chip, ok that will be the next attempt, yum! I am trying to figure out how to insert an image so I can show you my HCB's!

Brilliant minds think alike.!!!!!!  A neighbour has asked for some bread making lessons.   I thought I would show her No Fuss Rolls and Hot X Buns.  I think the secret to the buns is the extra yeast,,  that is 4 teaspoonsful.  As we like plenty of fruit, it should add up to 300g.  This same recipe can be made into a fruit loaf. Make sure you do the double rise.  Easy.  Love the variations.  Make your own peel , nothing like the rubbish they sell in the shops.

achookwoman, how do you make your own peel?

It is a bit of a process ,  but I do it once a year and freeze it.  Start saving orange and lemon peel now,  in the fridge in a plastic bag.6 from oranges and 3 from lemons.  I will post a recipe in the non TMX section when I have a moment.  Probably mid next week.

I know what chookie is like  once she finds a good recipe she just sticks with it and doesn't find the need to try another.

CP,  true to some extent.  Call it a character flaw.  But I find it easy when I am teaching people to make bread.  Some things work every time.  I get my challenge from sour dough.  A real test of skill, experience and character.  When I find a fool proof recipe , such as your Cream Puffs,  why look further.?

I made the hot cross buns from the Robo Gourmet app today and they are really delicious. Very happy with the results.

Dede, so pleased that you liked this recipe as it is actually mine.  It has been changed a little so that it looks different.  For example, the yeast measurement  of 4 teaspoons of yeast is the same as 1 tablespoon.  I am not impressed.

[Halex]

Ooohh chookie, thats bad, have you put the recipe on here.
