Ingredients
Method
- Place yeast, CSR Caster Sugar, salt, flours, oil, egg and water into the machine in the order as listed. Set a timer for 30 mins if your machine doesn’t have a fruit addition timer built in. Turn the machine on using “dough only” function.
- After 30 mins add the additional dough ingredients. When the “dough only” function signals ready, remove the dough onto a well floured surface and knead into a long sausage shape - like a stick of French bread.
- Using scissors cut off pieces the size of a tennis ball and place into a well greased or baking paper lined Swiss roll tin approximately 20 x 25 cm. The balls of dough should touch each other.
- Place the flour & water for the crosses in a small zip lock plastic bag and seal. Squish the bag to mix the flour paste well. Snip off the corner and pipe crosses onto the surface of the buns.
- Allow the buns to rise a further 30 mins then brush with melted butter or margarine and bake in a preheated oven 200°C for 20 – 25 mins.
- Remove from the oven and while piping hot brush over with the sugar and water glaze. Cool on a wire rack, reheat to serve.
