HONEY-GLAZED HOT CROSSBUNS
I got tied up with moving from Kenya last week and might have missed #GlobalApron Challenge using my most favorite ingredient, flour. As an avid baker, I feel gutted to have missed it! Nonetheless, here is a recipe I just managed to free from drafts amidst all the unsettledness. Enjoy 😉
Ingredient
Food ration :
Makes 12 buns
Cooking time :
2hrs
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Mix flour, yeast, sugar, spices, and salt in a large bowl
* Step 2
Add butter, milk, egg, and chocolate chips. Mix with a wooden spoon to incorporate then knead on a dusted work surface for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth, bounces back when lightly pressed down, and does not break when stretched
* Step 3
RISE 1: transfer dough into a bowl, cover with cling wrap and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. This will take between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on how warm it is
* Step 4
Line a baking tray with patchment paper and set aside
* Step 5
Remove cling wrap and punch dough to deflate. Dust work surface with flour, place dough on a work surface, and shape into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces, press down each piece with your palm, and use your fingers to gather into a ball, then roll the dough briefly to form a ball.
* Step 6
RISE 2: Spray or brush a piece of cling wrap lightly with oil and loosely place over the tray. Let rise in a warm place for 30 – 45 minutes
* Step 7
Mid-way through the rise, preheat oven to 180C
* Step 8
MAKING THE CROSSES: Mix flour and water until a thick runny paste forms. Transfer paste into a piping bag and snip pointy corner to open.
Pipe crosses onto the buns
* Step 9
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the surface is browned
* Step 10
Microwave honey and water in a bowl, for 30 seconds and mix to combine.
Remove buns from oven and onto a cooling rack.
