Gluten Free Hot Cross Buns
Ingredients
- 500 g Gluten Free Flour with xanthum gum
- 2 tsp yeast
- 300 ml warm milk
- 75 g caster sugar
- 50 g marg
- 1 egg
Flavourings
- 1 tsp olive oil
- zest 1 orange
- 100 g sultanas
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1/2 grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix all the above together to make a dough, but don’t knead it.
- Place into an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place, until almost doubles in size and springy to the touch. This takes anywhere from 20-60 mins.
- Whilst it rises have a sit down, a cuppa and also mix together the second stage of ingredients, the filling.
- Mix this fruity bunch into the dough and leave it to rise once more.
- I left mine most of the afternoon. Leaving it longer than needed won’t harm it. Then shape into rounds, about 12, and get ready for the creative bit.
- Mix a couple of tbsp of gluten free flour with a drizzle of water and mix to a thick paste. Pop into a piping back and pipe on your crosses.
