However, I was watching the Easter Bake-off Master-class on the television where there were some wonderful recipes being demonstrated by Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry. The hot cross buns looked gorgeous, so I decided to have a go this morning. After three hours (perhaps a bit more) and with much trepidation, this is what came out of the oven.....
.......my very first success with making bread. They were gorgeous! I did one or two things differently, such as I brushed the tops of the buns with an egg and milk wash before putting them into the oven. When they came out I brushed the tops with a caster sugar and water glaze. There's nothing like eating a warm bun straight from the oven with butter on it....
...........'til the next time, keep baking and quilting x
