Eden Vegan Hot Cross Bun Recipe

HOT CROSS BUN SEASON 🐰🤍
This year I’m making my usual dairy-free hot cross buns because why change a good thing 😉
If you’re not a sultana fan you can make them with any dried fruit - cranberries and dates would be delicious ✨ and serve with Almond butter or @nuttelexspread

Eden Vegan’s Hot Cross Bun Recipe:

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp dry yeast
1 tsp white sugar
1 3/4 cups of oat milk, lukewarm

3 cups flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 Tbsp all spice
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup dried sultanas (more the merrier!)
Zest of one lemon
Zest of one orange

Glaze with maple syrup or jam.

Method:
1. Combine the yeast, white sugar and lukewarm oat milk in a large mixing bowl. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until it starts to foam.
2. Add all remaining ingredients into the large mixing bowl. Making sure to fold the flour well until reaching a dough consistency.
3. Lightly flour a benchtop and knead the dough for 5-8 minutes before placing in a well-oiled bowl to rise. Set aside in a warm sunny place, covered with a damp tea towel. It should double in size in 1-2 hours.
4. Once the dough has risen divide it into small bun-sized balls. This mixture can make 9-12 hot cross buns, depending on the size you'd like.
5. Place the rolled dough side by side in a baking paper-lined tray.
6. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and set the tray of dough aside to rise for a further 30 minutes.
7. Mix 2 tbsp flour with 2 tsp water in a small mixing bowl and pipe onto the buns in a cross formation.
8. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, checking and baking until golden. Glaze with maple syrup or jam for the delicious sticky gloss look.
