  • Choc cross buns - what would

    Submitted by Wyn on 22. July 2016 - 21:35.

    Choc cross buns - what would you suggest if I wanted to add diced apple within the above recipe?  would I have to cook the apple first in thermomix?  Any suggestions on how to add this variation?

    refer to comment above - add a cup of diced apple to start at choc kneading stage

    Sooo yummy! Have made 5 batches over the last few days and perfect every time. I do mix about 50g of the chocolate in when I do the last bit of kneading in the Thermo, then hand knead the rest in just before rolling into dinner size buns and they turn out fantastic

  • The most delicious hot cross

    Submitted by aliciabakes on 28. March 2015 - 11:39.

    The most delicious hot cross buns our household has ever had - will never buy them again! So simple too. I froze my choc chips prior to adding them into the recipe which prevented them from melting during the proving stage.

    Submitted by SarahEast23 on 6. March 2015 - 20:41.

    Made these this morning and I'd have to agree with the tip about mixing in the chocolate chips after the dough has proved and cooled a little. I added mine when suggested and ended up with a melted gooey dough that was hard to handle but still tastes great of course! Thank you for this recipe. tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by Liz_smith on 20. April 2014 - 16:55.

    I made these for the second time today. I wait until after the dough has proved and cooled down before I add in the choc chips (So I mix them in right before Im about to start cutting the dough into the portions) and the dont melt at all.These are seriously better than the dry crappy store bought hot cross buns. Thanks for a great recipe!

    I made these last night and we had them for brekkie this morning (Good Friday). We all really enjoyed them. I used your tip to roll the chocolate in then roll into a log and cut then roll the buns and it worked quite well. I used chopped lindt chocolate instead of choc chips. Yum.

    These are the BOMB!!!!! my family are in love with them so much so I've made 3 batches in the last week. My  choc chips melted in my first batch but it was ok they still turned out awesome, I just called them chocolate swirl instead of chocolate chip. I stuck the choc chips in the freezer in the second batch to help them keep their shape and that worked. This recipe is a keeper   Love

    Hi, I've posted a general comment in the recipe to assist with your question. I haven't experienced this before but it makes sense if the dough is extra warm this would happen. I hope my comment helps. Thanks

  • Please note that

    Submitted by Jo Thermo on 13. April 2014 - 18:22.

    Please note that sometimes when your dough is very warm it may melt the choc chips so another option is to leave out the choc bits until you are about to roll the buns into shape. So mix your dough, prove it until it rises then roll the dough out into a large rectangle shape about 1-2cm high and sprinkle the choc bits evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough into a long log and cut the buns with your spatula into approx 2cm width (they will look like choc filled pinwheels). Then shape into buns. This helps prevent the choc from melting into the raw dough. Hope this tip helps and makes sense tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by lslike on 15. March 2014 - 20:32.

    OMG just made these to try out before Easter.  They are just great, used sultanas and mixed peel instead of the choc chips.  Also put in a teaspoon of mixed spice to give it bit more of a traditional flavour.  They turned out really well so won't be buying my Easter buns ever again.  Thank you for a lovely recipy.

  • Hi Wyn.  I haven't had any

    Submitted by Annieooby on 1. April 2013 - 07:48.

    Hi Wyn.  I haven't had any experience with this, but I think it should be ok if you kneaded in diced apple at the choc bit stage, or by hand once out of the bowl.  A small dice should cook ok when the buns are cooking.  You would have to careful with quantities of apple as it will put moisture into the buns.  I'd have a go with about a cup of diced apple to start with.  You could also try sprinkling the apple over the rolled out dough, rolling up and making scrolls.    Let us know how you go.  I might try it myself next time I make these.

    Made a half quantity today and worked beautifully.  Cooked for 25 minutes, not fan forced as they were a little larger than the recipe( I made 6 buns).

    Submitted by AndreaH on 26. March 2013 - 21:06.

    I followed all the measurements and times exactly and these turned out beautifully. The only thing i changed was oven temp, mine is fan forced so I baked them at 210. I was worried when I first took them out of the oven as the middle buns seemed really soft when I pressed down the sides, but once they were cool they were perfect inside, light and fluffy! Delicious! I gave some to my mum and she thought I'd bought them at the shop cause they were so good  Big Smile

    I made these and seems to be a success but mine look a little well done.

  • To Prove means to let stand

    Submitted by Rachking on 17. March 2013 - 15:46.

    To Prove means to let stand at let the dough double in size, cover with cling wrap or damp cloth to stop a crust forming on your dough. I prove my dough in front of a sunny window when I can.

    Hope this helps you out  tmrc_emoticons.;)

    Submitted by sanlucale on 26. April 2012 - 21:49.

    Have just made a batch.  Very nice! I did make some changes though.  I added some clove spice and added sultanas instead of choc chips as i didnt have any.  I didnt pipe the crosses on them but glazed them with a sugar glaze as they were cooling. Hit wih all the family.  I will make them often and next time will make them smaller and top with a sugar icing. tmrc_emoticons.) Just made another batch with using cranberries and white choc chips... the possibilities are endless.  Thank you so much.  Now i can make hot cross buns all year round!

    Submitted by Jo Thermo on 3. April 2012 - 15:11.

    Hi, welcome to world of Thermomix. When making bread/buns etc, the dough needs to rest and rise (this is the proving process) generally until dough doubles in size. It needs to be in a warm place so the yeast activates (25- 38 degrees celcius is a good temp to prove). I hope that helps tmrc_emoticons.)
