These are lovely spiced buns with my own added extra. They don't usually contain apple but it goes so well! It's traditional to eat Hot Cross Buns for breakfast on Good Friday. The cross on top symbolises the cross that was used to crucify Jesus Christ

Ingredients

3 hours

12 servings

250 mlcoconut milk, lukewarm
7 gramsfast action yeast
2 tbspsugar
500 gramsgluten-free flour / strong white bread flour
1& 1/2 tsp xanthan gum if using gluten-free flour
1 pinchsalt
2 tspmixed spice
2 tspcinnamon
1large cooking apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
100 gramssultanas
50 gmixed peel
85 ml- 100ml apple juice / orange juice
2 tbspolive oil
Crosses
3 tbspgluten-free / plain flour
2 tbspwater
Glaze
2 tbspapple juice / orange juice
2 tbspcaster sugar

Cooking Instructions

3 hours

1

Mix the yeast and sugar into the milk and set aside
2

Mix the flour, xanthan gum if using, salt and baking spices together in a large bowl. Stir the sultanas, mixed peel and chopped apple pieces in
3

Make a well in the centre and stir in the apple / orange juice, oil and yeast mixture
4

Form a sticky but soft dough using your hands. Depending on the flour used you may need to add a little more milk as gluten-free flours need more liquid, 2 -3 tbsp should be plenty
5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 - 10 minutes until the dough is smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place for an hour or until it has doubled in size
6

Punch the dough down and knead again for 10 minutes then divide into 12 equal pieces
7

Roll the pieces into smooth balls and evenly space out on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Recover with the damp tea towel and again, leave in a warm place for 45 minutes until doubled in size
8

Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400F
9

To make the crosses, mix the flour and water to a paste the consistency of butter icing. Place the paste in an icing bag or plastic bag and snip the end off, then pipe crosses on the hot cross buns. It's easier to go along the whole row than do individual crosses
10

Bake for 20 - 22 mins until the buns are golden and firm
11

To make the glaze, dissolve the caster sugar in the juice, boil for a minute in the microwave or a small saucepan until thickening, then brush over the hot buns as soon as they come out of the oven. Let the glaze set before you enjoy the buns with safe butter, jam, marmalade, nutella or naked, whatever you fancy!
12

Will keep for up to 3 days, best enjoyed halved and toasted

Hot Cross Buns Hot Cross Buns

You can't have a proper Easter without hot cross buns! If you've never had them, these buns are lightly spiced, a bit sweet and quite rich thanks to the egg, milk and butter in the dough. My favorite part are the dried fruits mixed in!If you can't buy mixed spiced, you can use this simple recipe to make it yourself: Combine 1 tsp cinnamon powder, 1 tsp ground coriander, 3/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp ground cloves (or mix what ever spices you have on hand)

These are easy buns for Good Friday. You don't need a bread-baking machine, nor hard work to knead. I love the sweet smell in my kitchen when I bake them, and of course these are not only for Good Friday!

So cute and easy! Original idea from Facebook. The gluten-free recipe directions are slightly different and begin at step 4

Subtly Sweet and Fluffy Apple Buns Subtly Sweet and Fluffy Apple Buns

I created this recipe because I wanted to make a not so sweet but light and delicious bread. I've repeatedly cooked this recipe every year in apple season since then.Adding brandy, rum, cinnamon, and butter to the apple will also be tasty.The apple doesn't have to turn translucent. I prefer a dark yellow apple color.Pears and pineapples instead of apple will be good as well. Recipe by Honey1972

I'm adding my own review here because I absolutely ADORE these buns. This is the way my mum used to make them and her mum before her. Slightly tweaked by myself as I use brown sugar for the filling rather than granulated kind. I have also added the vanilla sugar in the dough and therefore reduced the original amount of granulated sugar which was 150g :)

The best cinnamon buns you will ever eat.I made half of the dough and I got 8 buns out of it. If you want that too, just half all the ingredients. I used a teaspoon oil instead of the yolk and it worked perfectly fine.
