Place dough into an oiled bowl (dough will be sticky), cover with gladwrap and set aside in a warm place to rise for 1.5 hours.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Once risen, roll dough into balls (roughly the size of golf balls) and place onto the prepared baking tray leaving a small gap between each ball.

Crosses

In a small jug, mix together the flour and water for the crosses and place mixture into a piping bag with a round nozzle.

Pipe the crosses onto the buns, then leave to rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180 degress (fan forced).

Place buns into the oven and bake for 25 minutes (or until golden and cooked through).

Once buns have been removed from the oven brush the glaze over them straight away.

Enjoy with butter!

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
