Hot cross bun

Follow Jack recipe. If you want them softer, use tangzhong (see notes below). 🔒

Method

• If you do half fruit and half choc, the fruit half will weigh more.
• As long as each ball is 90-110 gm they will cook fine.
• Do a 2 rest each time.
• Use parchment paper on a small tray (not the small black one).
• For last rest, flour tops and cover with couche.
• Last 20 mins heat oven
• Last 10 mins do cross mix in small bowl and apply.
• Kick off kettle.
• Bake 25 mins @ 180 C with steam.
• Take out of oven, put on rack and put parchment paper underneath.
• Put 3 tsp marmalade into a cup and mix. Brush onto buns.

Notes

I used tangzhong (20 gm flour, 130 gm water) in March 2024 and they were very soft. Use same bake time.
