Recipe's preparation
Weigh dried fruits and set aside.
Weigh milk and butter into bowl, heat for 2-3 minutes, 37 degrees, speed 2.
Add remaining ingredients, except dried fruit. Mix 20 seconds, speed 4. Scrape down and repeat 10 seconds, speed 4, so it's well combined. There's no need to knead gluten free bread mixes for several minutes as there's no gluten to develp.
Scrape down again, add fruit, using spatula through hole in the lid to help incorporate fruit into dough,"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 4, 30-40 seconds, until fruit is evely mixed through.
Divide mix into well-greased muffin tins, either round or square, and using wet fingertips, smooth tops. Allow to prove in a warm area, away from draughts (see proving tip below), for around 45 mins - 1 hour, until about double in size and well rounded above the tray.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, 180-200 degrees, depending on your oven, until light golden in colour.
Turn out onto cooling rack and brush with sugar syrup while still hot for a shiny glaze. Enjoy while still hot with butter!

Tip
If requiring a fruitier bun, increase fruit quantities to suit personal tastes.
Prove in a cold oven, with a steam bath in the base - fill a pan in the base of your oven with boiling water, the heat will warm the oven enough to prove without being too hot to kill the yeast and stop it rising, and the steam will stop the dough from drying out, creating an unrestricted rise and better crust results.
Because this recipe doesn't use preservatives and additives such as bread improver, these are best eaten same day. They may be frozen, or toasted on following day also.
Try milling a packet of psyllium husks speed 10 for 1 minute, to keep as a cheap and very effective replacement for for other gluten alternatives such as xanthan gum and guar gum. It will also help take up some of the extra moisture, giving normally very sticky gluten-free batters a more stable structure, allowing for more rounded rise.

Oh WOW, thanks for sharing this recipe. My grandson is gluten intolerant and I can see these will be perfect for him. They'll be a go-to for sure

Delicious! I made this into a loaf. Proved with hot water in cold oven and worked a treat. Cooked 180 in fan forced oven for 40mins and just eaten both crusts - yum! I use a home mix GF flour recipe (brown and white rice - which the thermie is perfect to blitz - potato starch & tapioca) you'll find on minimalist baker. Also soaked my dried fruit in hot water while i was making the GF flour mix and they are lovely and juicy. I'll be making this again!

Just finished the last of these tonight, made them a week before easter and with a bit of a zap in the microwave they held up really well. I added more fruit, mainly because I misread the recipe, but I used finely chopped fresh apple as well and I reckon that kept them nice and moist. They were a bit heavier than bought buns, but who cares! The flavours were delicious. For the crosses I just did 45/55 gf flour and water and they worked well, and straight after they came out the oven I brushed them with an orange juice syrup. Winner!

Was recommended these on fb. Absolutely the closest to normal hot cross buns. I dont like sultanas so i used diced apple instead. So yummy!
Easy to make and they tasted
Easy to make and they tasted super good. My mother-in-law (who is not gluten free) said they tasted as good as 'real' ones!
I found I had to put them in
I found I had to put them in a muffin tin, then wet my hands to smooth the tops
Tasted really nice but I had
Tasted really nice but I had trouble getting a nice shape because the mixture isn't one you can mold, I couldn't make the top nice and flat to put crosses on so I didn't bother.
Fantastic!! Thank you
Fantastic!! Thank you
These are great, but no step
These are great, but no step to put the crosses on.... so of course I didn't! oops!
Mine turned out nothing like
Mine turned out nothing like everyone else's, mine look more like oatcakes!. What did I do wrong? I changed them into dairy free well. Using almond milk and nuttlex instead of butter. Any ideas would be great
Being new to gluten free
Being new to gluten free food, I made these in trepidation thinking they would be like rock cakes. What a delightful surprise to find them absolutely delicious. Very different to what I'm used to but very tasty and not as heavy as I had feared. Thank you.
Just made these for a friend
Just made these for a friend who is gluten free for easter so easy to make love the proving idea and love making them in muffin tins 10/10 i left out the husks as i left the supermarket without them lol
I wouldn't leave the dough
I wouldn't leave the dough unbaked in the fridge for a few days, as the yeast will eventually die off, and won't rise... and it will also just become sour tasting. The best way around it would be to par-bake them for only 15-20 minutes, when they're just cooked through, but only just beginning to brown. Then once they're cool, they can be frozen, and then popped back in the oven to finish off as you need them, and they'll come out like fresh baked then. Hope that works for you. Cheers, TNB Xx
Do you know if the dough
Do you know if the dough could be kept in the fridge a few days to bake a few fresh each day? Wanting to make some for my mum
Oh wow! These are lovely!
Oh wow! These are lovely! Scoofing them warm from the oven as I type one handed. i used apricots, cranberries and rais in my fruit mix and topped them off with an apricot jam glaze. I also cooked them in a non stick roasting pan
Omg awesome they came out so
Omg awesome they came out so well my mum is ceoliac and arrives today she will be most happy
These are the best gluten
These are the best gluten free hot cross buns ever - and I've tried a few different recipes. Me and hubby both liked these better than store bought 'normal' hot cross buns! Here's what I used for the flour: 250g tapioca, 100g buckwheat, 85g rice flour and 85g sorghum. I used almond milk and replaced the butter with 40g coconut oil and 40g ghee to make them dairy free also. DELICIOUS!!!! Thank you.
Thats great to hear! For a
Thats great to hear! For a loaf, just put the same batter into a well-greased loaf tin, prove in a warm, draught free spot for 30-45 minutes until approx. double, and bake the same, but for longer (around 30-40 mins) depending on your oven, until golden and sounds hollow when tapped. Best of Luck!
What do I need to do to make
What do I need to do to make this into a loaf? The taste was delicious but my little girl would prefer toast slices!
OMG . Never thought Id get to
OMG . Never thought Id get to eat hot cross buns ever again with having Coeliacs. These are by far the best thing ever.. yummmmmmooooo . Awesome recipe.
Just out of the oven,
Just out of the oven, delicious. The proving tip worked well thanks. Some suggestions to the recipe...when to add the yeast? I added with milk and butter. What do you make the crosses out of? I'm guessing a mix of gf flour, oil and water? I made mine cross less in the end so they are more like hot spiced buns. Happy Easter.
These are so delicious. Have
These are so delicious. Have another batch in the oven. Thanks Mandi for the perfect recipe. They are wonderful heated up the next day and are as fresh. Thanks. Made some honey, cinnamon butter to go on top. Wicked they are.
