Steps:
- Put the flour, yeast, caster sugar and 1 tsp salt into a large mixing bowl with the spices and dried fruit and mix well. Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm milk, 50ml warm water, the beaten egg and the melted butter. Mix everything together to form a dough - start with a wooden spoon and finish with your hands. If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water; if it's too wet, add more flour.
- Knead in the bowl or on a floured surface until the dough becomes smooth and springy. Transfer to a clean, lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with a clean, damp tea towel. Leave in a warm place to rise until roughly doubled in size - this will take about 1 hr depending on how warm the room is.
- Tip the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for a few secs, then divide into 12 even portions - I roll my dough into a long sausage shape, then quarter and divide each quarter into 3 pieces. Shape each portion into a smooth round and place on a baking sheet greased with butter, leaving some room between each bun for it to rise.
- Use a small, sharp knife to score a cross on the top of each bun, then cover with the damp tea towel again and leave in a warm place to prove for 20 mins until almost doubled in size again. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- When the buns are ready to bake, mix the plain flour with just enough water to give you a thick paste. Spoon into a piping bag (or into a plastic food bag and snip the corner off) and pipe a white cross into the crosses you cut earlier. Bake for 12-15 mins until the buns are golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. While still warm, melt the granulated sugar with 1 tbsp water in a small pan, then brush over the buns.

TRADITIONAL FRUITY AND SPICED HOT CROSS BUNS: BREAD-MAKER
A wonderful old family recipe for HUGE and very light spiced Hot Cross Buns! I discovered that most of the hard work is taken out of making these, by proving & kneading them in the Bread Maker/Machine......unless you NEED to expel any frustrations, and then you MUST knead these yourself! You can make the crosses by either marking them before baking or, as I have done, by putting thinly rolled pastry crosses on top. An absolute "must" for the Spring and Easter Tea table! I also make these throughout the rest of the year - minus the crosses - for fruity, spiced English style teacakes!

Steps:
- Put all of the Hot Cross Bun ingredients into your break maker in the order listed, excepting the dried fruit.
- Put the fruit into the "extras" tray on your bread maker, or leave to one side to add towards the end of the kneading cycle.
- Set the bread maker to Dough setting - or Raisin Dough setting if you have it.
- Press start and if you do not have an "extras" tray, add your dried fruit when your machine alerts you or 5 minutes before the end of the kneading time.
- Lightly grease two baking trays/sheets.
- When the dough cycle has finished, take the dough out and place it on a lightly floured board. Knock back and shape into 12 pieces, rolling them into balls.
- Place them on the greased baking trays/sheets and cover with a clean tea towel or lightly oiled cling film.
- Allow them to rise for about 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile pre-heat the oven the 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- Make the pastry crosses by rolling out the ready-made pastry very thinly and cutting into strips.
- Make the glaze by heating up the milk and adding the sugar - heat them until the sugar has dissolved. Set to one side.
- When the Hot Cross Buns are ready to bake, place two strips of pastry on each top - pressing lightly and bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until well-risen and golden brown. The buns should sound hollow when tapped underneath.
- Brush the glaze on each bun as soon as they have been taken out of the oven and then allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Eat whilst still warm, split & spread with butter!
- These are GREAT toasted when they are a few days old as well!

CHEF JOHN'S HOT CROSS BUNS
Real hot cross buns have the cross baked into them, not piped on afterwards. These are studded with rum-soaked currants. I based my recipe on one I found on Anson Mills' web site.

Steps:
- Place currants in a small bowl. Heat rum until steaming in a small pan and pour over currants to soften them, about 2 hours. Drain; reserve liquid for another use.
- Whisk warm milk, 1/4 cup flour, and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit about 15 minutes to ensure yeast is active; small bubbles should start to rise to the surface. Add sugar, beaten egg, lemon and orange zest, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, nutmeg, melted butter, and most of the remaining flour (you might not need it all). Mix with a dough hook attachment until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and becomes slightly elastic, 5 or 6 minutes. Continue kneading until dough is soft and shiny, about 10 minutes. Remove dough from dough hook and shape into a ball. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
- Flatten dough into a large oval about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle currants evenly over surface of dough. Fold dough into thirds. Turn and fold into thirds again. Reshape dough into a round ball. Transfer to lightly oiled mixing bowl. Cover and let rise in a relatively warm, draft-free place until double in size, about 2 hours.
- Poke dough down a bit with your fingertips. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Flatten out dough into an even shape. Divide into 16 equal pieces using a bench scraper.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- Roll each piece of dough into a round ball. Arrange evenly on prepared baking sheet. Let rise 15 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup water and 1/3 cup flour together in a mixing bowl until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to pipe. Transfer mixture to a piping bag.
- After buns have risen 15 minutes, pipe a cross on top of each. Let rise until doubled from original dough balls, another 15 or 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Transfer pan to preheated oven. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to thicken, or until it reaches a temperature of 225 degrees F. Remove from heat.
- Let buns cool on a rack for 5 minutes before glazing. Brush glaze lightly over the tops of the buns.

- 1. Combine 1.5kg flour, raisins, cherries, sugar, yeast, citrus zest, spices and salt in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix on low speed to combine. Warm the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then add eggs and whisk. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and knead until smooth, about five minutes. Place in a warm corner of your kitchen to prove for 35 minutes (on top of the fridge is usually a good place).
- 2. Once doubled in size, knock back the dough and tip it out onto a floured surface. Divide into 20 even pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball. Arrange in a shallow baking pan lined with baking paper, leaving a little space between each bun for the dough to rise. Set aside to prove again until the dough has almost doubled in size.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 220C (200C fan-forced). Combine remaining flour, vegetable oil and 60ml cold water in a small bowl and stir to a smooth paste. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe a cross on each bun. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven to 200C (180C fan-forced) and bake for another 10 minutes until buns are golden.
- 4. While the buns are baking, make the spice glaze. Place 50g sugar, spices and 60ml water in a small saucepan over medium heat to dissolve sugar. Bring to a simmer, then set aside to cool. Brush glaze over buns while they're still hot and serve warm with good quality butter.
