      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Brioche Hot Cross Buns
  1. 1. Place a bowl onto mixing bowl lid and weigh sultanas, currants and rum into it, then set aside for 12 hours.

    2. Grease a large mixing bowl with butter and set aside.

    3. Line 30 x 40 cm baking tray with baking paper or baking mat and set aside.

    4. Add sugar, yeast, milk and water into mixing bowl and heat 3 mins/37C/sp2.

    5. Add eggs, flour, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt, then mix 20 sec/speed 3, then knead DoughDough mode/5 min.

    6. Knead for a further Dough Dough mode/2 min, adding the reserved butter 1 piece at a time through hole in mixing bowl lid.

    7. Place dough on a lightly floured silicone bread mat or work surface.

    8. Press dough out to flatten, then sprinkle with the reserved sultanas, currants and the mixed peel and knead until fruit is incorporated.

    9. Place dough in prepared bowl, cover with a silicone bread mat or a tea towel and set aside in a warm place to prove until doubled in size (approx. 1-1.5 hours).

    10. Clean and dry mixing bowl

    11. Divide dough into 12 equal-sized pieces (approx. 100 g) then form into a bun and place them 3 cm apart on prepared baking tray.

    13. Meanwhile, continue with the recipe.

    16. Pour into a piping bag with a nozzle (10 mm - see Tips) and pipe crosses onto the top of the reserved buns.

    17. Bake hot cross buns for 20 minutes (200°C) until golden brown.

    18. Place water and sugar into mixing bowl and cook 2 min/100°C/speed 2.5, without measuring cup.

Tip

Sultanas and currants do not need to be soaked in rum overnight, we do this as it makes the fruit plump and tasty. We like a spice and fruit filled bun - if that's not you, you won't like these! Dark chocolate chunks can be added but they are delicious without.

I've resisted the opportunity to replace the photo with one of the crosses perfect on the top. Hot cross buns are for celebrating Easter. Easter is a great reminder that perfection is not required.
