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!

Steps

Done

First of all mix flour, spices, sugar and yeast (if you are using fresh, dissolve it in 1 teaspoon of water)
Then add milk, mix or knead with K whisk of the planetary mixer.
Let it work for a few minutes until the liquids are absorbed. Add butter into small pieces and string until you get a single dough. Then add egg.
Add raisins previously softened for 10 minutes in hot water and orange peel.
Then knead well again, incorporating the raisins.
Knead your dough on a work surface to smooth the surface and form a round dough.

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
Then preheat the oven at 180 degrees
Brush the surface of your sandwiches with egg yolk.
Mix flour 1 teaspoon of maple syrup and 2 - 4 teaspoons of water; add it little by little. You will need to obtain a thick and not too liquid cream, which "writes" and falls like a heavy ribbon.
Pour into a piping bag and make a cross on the horizontal surface first, then add the vertical strip.
Bake them immediately in a static oven at 180 ° for about 20 minutes in the medium-high part of the oven until golden brown.
Then still hot, brushstrokes with honey.

Your Hot cross buns are ready!
