Directions
Hot cross buns literally “Panini con Croce” are delicious Easter cakes typical of the United Kingdom. These are soft and fragrant panini with raisins prepared with a spiced cinnamon leavened dough; whose peculiarity is a cross on the surface symbol of the resurrection of Christ, made with a glaze of water and flour. A unique goodness that dates back to 1300, when Thomas Rocliffe, a friar of the Abbey of S. Albans, created these “Buns” to offer to the poor on the occasion of Good Friday; since then, tradition has it that they are prepared every Easter Friday, to interrupt Lent!

First of all mix flour, spices, sugar and yeast (if you are using fresh, dissolve it in 1 teaspoon of water) Cover it with cling film in a bowl and let rise in a temperate and dry place for about 3 hours until it triples in volume. Transfer the dough to a work surface. Divide into pieces of 75/ 80 g each. Then round each piece so as to obtain a well-sprinkled and smooth sandwich on the surface. Transfer all the rolls to a traditional baking tray, previously lined with baking paper, at a distance of 1 / 1.5 Let them rise for about 1 hour Your Hot cross buns are ready! |
