Hot Cross Buns by Chef Alicia. Hot Cross Buns Yiel Hot Cross Buns by Chef Alicia. Hot Cross Buns
Yield:12  INGREDIENTS:
Buns Dough:​
500 g cake flour
5 ml salt
10 ml mixed spice
5 ml ground cinnamon
3 ml ground nutmeg
50 ml granulated sugar
45 ml butter or Sunflower oil
15 ml instant dried yeast
190 ml tepid water
1 egg
190 ml mixed fruit cake mixture (a mixture of currants, raisins, sultanas and candied peel)  Cross Piping Dough:
100 ml cake flour
Pinch of baking powder
Pinch of salt
5 ml Sunflower oil
Approx. 50 ml milk  Syrup:​65ml water
65ml granulated sugar  METHOD:  Buns:
1. Bun dough: Sift the flour, salt, mixed spice, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Add the sugar and mix to combine.
Rub in the butter or stir in the oil. 
Mix in the dried yeast.
Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm water and beaten egg.
Mix to form a slightly sticky dough, adding more liquid if necessary.
2. Knead dough until smooth and glossy. 
Place in a bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until double in bulk. (bulk ferment) 
3. Knock down the dough, knead lightly.  Roll into a rectangle, sprinkle over the fruit and roll up like a swiss roll. 
4. Divide into 12, weigh to ensure all buns are the same size. Then shape into tight round buns.  Place, well apart on a greased baking tray cover with a damp tea towel. Prove until doubled in size.
5. Ross Piping dough: Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in the oil then add enough milk to form a piping consistency.  Place in a plastic bag, snip off the tip and pipe crosses on the buns.
6. Bake: Bake in a hot oven quickly at 220°C for approx. 20 minutes or until the buns are well browned and sound hollow when tapped underneath. Turn the oven down after if browning too much, but the buns must bake quickly.
7. Syrup: Dissolve the sugar in the water over a gentle heat, then boil rapidly for 3 minutes to form a syrup.
8. Remove the buns from the oven and immediately brush generously with glaze - this needs to be done immediately to keep the buns soft. 
SERVE: Serve warm in a bread basket with butter  This recipe containing no dough extenders or preservatives, thus from the minute the buns cool they start to stale. They need to be eaten soon after baking.

Silwood Kitchen opened my eyes to cooking and food at a professional level. Ive always been interested in food and used to spend hours watching my mom cook and bake or sit in on Alicias dems as a young boy, but at that stage, being a chef didn’t cross my mind. Its only when I started studying and learning all the techniques and reasons why and how food reacted in different ways to these methods that I fell in love with cooking. From then on I have never looked back and my desire to learn everything still grows from day to day. Silwood Kitchen offered me the foundations to reach where I have gone and still want to go. Hard work was up to me.

Silwood Kitchen is a phenomenal establishment full of heritage and professionalism. It was at this great school where my professional culinary journey began and I am endlessly grateful for that. Silwood Kitchen gave me the opportunity to compete in local and international competitions and harnessed me with the tools in which to take home many Chef of The Year and Global Chef titles. It was from this foundation that I have had the opportunity to work in 3 star Michellin restaurants around the World and subsequently be involved with SA Chefs as a director and to travel around the Globe with World Chefs as an international competitor, judge and mentor. These were the footsteps to opening my own business in 2008 and have the ability to make a success of it. Without great lecturers, facilities and support my success’ in life would not have been possible. Silwood Kitchen is truly a World Class establishment which makes individuals stand out and become successful.
