Recipe's preparation

    Chai Hot Cross Buns
  1. Place vanilla bean, cloves, cardamon, nutmeg & cinnamon into the TM bowl & chop for 1 min speed 10. (If it is not all chopped up you made need to add a tabspoon of the flour & chop it again) Add ginger & chop 2 secs speed 10.


    Make your milky chai acording to your instructions - (you can use the new EDC recipe if you like) Or a Chai teabag & water & milk is fine.


    Add cooled milky chai tea (needs to be 37 degrees or lower), honey and yeast into mixing bowl with the spices and heat 1 min/37deg/speed1.


    Add flour, salt, butter, egg and mix 6 sec/speed7 then knead 2-3 minClosed liddough mode.


    Add sultanas, currants and combine 10-15 sec/reverse/speed 5.


    Allow to rest in warm place covered with tea towel for 30-40 minutes then divide into 12 buns & place on large pieces of baking paper in the place in Varoma dish. (6 on the top tray & 6 on the bottom). Allow to rise in a warm spot.


    Fill TM bowl with 500ml water. Place varoma with buns on top of TM bowl & cook 15minutes/Varoma/speed 2.


    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.


    When your buns have finished steaming, gently move them on to an oven tray still on their baking paper & bake for 10- 15 mins until golden brown. Brush with some extra honey to glaze them.

  2. Honey Spiced Crosses
  3. Place all ingedients into the TM bowl & chop speed 5 for 5 secs. Place mixture into piping bag & pipe crosses over slightly cooled buns. Any leftovers of this mixture are great to spread directly onto the buns when you cut them open.

    these didn't rise as much as I'd hoped so I think the yeast was off plus they were quite wet so I found it difficult to shape into nice looking buns. From what I could tell, they were tasty though. Thanks for sharing.
