Nutritional values

The raisins contained in the Hot Cross Buns have it all: 100 grams of the dried fruit provide 5 grams of fiber - even with this relatively small amount, the dried grapes contribute to an increased feeling of satiety and a functioning digestion. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that has a regulating effect on blood pressure and can inhibit inflammation.

If you like, you can also prepare the Hot Cross Buns with wholemeal flour - this provides even more fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Preparation steps

1.

Bring milk to a boil in a saucepan and remove from heat. Add honey, flaxseed oil, and butter and mix well. Pour pear juice into a large bowl and dissolve the yeast in it. Stir in egg yolk and orange zest, then mix in raisins. Sift 14 ounces of flour over it, add cinnamon, 1 level teaspoon salt, and the honey milk. Work everything into a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

2.

Briefly knead dough for Hot Cross Buns on a lightly floured work surface, return to bowl, and let rest again in a warm place, covered, until about doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

3.

Divide dough into 6 portions, form into balls, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise again, covered, for about 30 minutes. Mix 2.5 Tbsp flour with 1 tsp powdered sugar and stir with 3-4 tbsp cold water until smooth. Fill mixture into a piping bag with a small smooth hole nozzle and pipe crosses onto the Hot Cross Buns dough pieces.

4.

Bake rolls in preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 °F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Lightly heat and mix the remaining powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of water, then brush the rolls with it. Allow glaze to dry and offer Hot Cross Buns cooled or lukewarm.
