Рецепт Chocolate and Orange Hot Cross Buns
Chocolate and Orange Hot Cross Buns
Makes 10-12
- 1 tbsp dried yeast
- 1 tbsp honey
- 200ml warm water
- 500g plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 50g sultanas
- Zest of one orange, finely grated
- Half an Easter egg, roughly chopped, or 100g of plain or milk chocolate
- 2 tbsp honey
- 25g melted butter
- 100ml warm milk
- 1 egg
1 - Mix together the yeast, honey and water and leave for 5-10 minutes in a warm place until it forms a froth and starts to smell.
2 - Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the salt, spice, sultanas, orange zest and chocolate egg.
3 - Pour in the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. Mix the egg in with the milk and pour in along with the melted butter and honey, mixing thoroughly. You may need a little more milk. Mix until it comes together into a dough.
4 - Tip onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until a hand indentation pressed into the surface springs back straight away.
5 - Put back into the bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for an hour or so until it has doubled in size. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees C, GM6.
6 - When doubled in size, lightly knead again to get rid of the air. Roll out into a sausage and cut off 10-12 portions. Roll these into balls and place onto a greased and floured baking tray. Cut crosses into the top with a sharp knife then cover again and leave until they double in size again.
7 - Place into a high oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and make a hollow sound when tapped. Mix a little sugar and water together over heat and brush onto the top to make a sugar glaze.
