A simple paste gets piped across the top of the dough before baking to form the perfect looking Holiday Hot Cross Buns that get glazed with apricot jam that are simply tantalizing on the tastebuds.
A classic British breakfast bun, tender dough is loaded with diced apple, raisins, citrus zest, cinnamon and currants. After rising and formed into balls, it rises once more then a flour and water paste gets piped across the top of the dough before baking to form the perfect looking Hot Cross Buns. Once baked the buns are glazed with an apricot jam and are ready to eat. You’ll not be disappointed!
Ingredients
4 cups bread flour (500 g)
2 tsp salt (10 g)
6 tbsp sugar (75 g)
1 tbsp instant yeast (10 g)
3 tbsp butter softened, (40 g)
2 eggs medium
1/2 cup warm milk (120 ml)
1/2 cup water separated, (120 ml)
3/4 cup golden raisins (150 g)
1/4 currants (50 g)
1 tbsp orange zest (15 g)
1 tbsp lemon zest (15 g)
1 medium sweet apple (See Note 1) diced
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp apricot jam (40 g)
For the Crosses
6 tbsp flour (80 g)
6 tbsp water (75 ml)
Instructions
1. To a mixer with the dough hook attached, add the flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Turn it on for a few spins to mix and then turn off. Add the softened butter, eggs, milk and 1/4 cup of water. Mix and add more of the remaining water, a little at a time, until all the flour has been incorporated into the dough from sides of bowl. You don't need to use all of the remaining water if you don't have to. DOUGH SHOULD BE SOFT, NOT SOGGY.
2. Knead for 5 minutes on hook, OR if kneading by hand, turn dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead by holding the dough with one hand and stretching it with the heal of the other hand, then folding it back on itself. Repeat for 5 mins until smooth and elastic.
3. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with oiled cling film or light towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hr or until doubled in size and a finger pressed into it leaves a dent (See Note 2).
4. With the dough still in the bowl, add the golden raisins, currants, citrus zest, diced apple and cinnamon. Knead into the dough, making sure everything is well distributed. Leave to rise for 1 hr more, or until doubled in size, again covered by some well-oiled cling film to stop the dough getting a crust.
5. Divide the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball on a lightly floured work surface by cupping the dough piece with your hand and moving in a circular motion, working the dough into a ball.
6. Arrange the buns on one or two baking trays lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space for the dough to expand. Cover (but don’t wrap) with more oiled cling film, and set aside to proof for 1 more hour.
7. Preheat the oven to 425°F, 220C
8. Mix the flour with the water to make the paste for the cross – it should be a thick paste. Spoon into a piping bag with a small nozzle, or plastic bag with an end tip cut off. Pipe a straight line along each row of buns, then repeat in the other direction to create crosses. Bake for 20 mins on the middle shelf of the oven, until golden brown.
9. Heat the apricot jam plus 1 teaspoon of water in a microwave for 30 seconds to melt, then sieve to get rid of any chunks if needed. Brush over the top of the warm buns and allow to cool slightly. Serve with more jam and butter if desired.
Notes
Apple varieties that are on the sweet side are Honey Crisp, Gala, Golden Delicious, Ambrosia™ and Red Delicious.
Either turn empty oven on to heat to 200°F and heat. Turn off and then add bowl of dough to rise. OR turn your EMPTY dryer on for 2-3 minutes to heat it up. When stopped and heated up, carefully place the covered bowl of dough in and close the door. DO NOT turn the dryer on again!

______________________________________________________
NORTHLAND: Wayne and Kate - Engraving Systems
"Wayne and Kate have been trying to support all the local sports clubs and businesses with great service and going that extra mile to help. They really have brought some life back into the community and should be acknowledged and rewarded for all the hard work."
AUCKLAND: Lynnae Palu - F45 Training Takapuna
"With no ability to trade in Level 3 or above, they still keep their members engaged and motivated with online workouts and daily challenges even though memberships are on hold and the gym is closed. They really are more like a family than a gym ❤️."
WAIKATO: Team at Incredible India - Incredible India Restaurant
"Not only do they make the most authentic, delicious Indian food. Their service is thoughtful and kind. We always feel appreciated for using their establishment, either by the warm greeting we get, the offer of a drink if we are waiting for take-out and their cute handwritten messages on the carry bag of dinner. They put the effort into the whole package not just making money."
BAY OF PLENTY: Team at Benny and Brew - Benny and Brew
"Our neighbourhood was missing a great cafe and meeting place. Since Benny and Brew have opened they have given our neighbourhood a massive lift. It's a place where you go for the people and the food and drink are delicious which is icing on the cake. For a bit, they were operating as a French bistro and the food was to die for! These guys have worked so hard and brought such joy to our neighbourhood"
HAWKE’S BAY - GISBORNE: Jazz and his family - Bossman Dairy - Creagh St Store
"Every member of this family who serves in the shop are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. They get to know all their customers and I have never walked into a shop that makes you feel so welcome. During our first lockdown for Covid, they put food such as milk, bread, out for people who may need it free of charge."
TARANAKI: Reece and family - Valentine's Valet
"Reece the owner of Valentine’s Valet, often helped by his Dad, mainly deals with lawns and gardens but he runs both a Carpet Cleaning and a Car Buffing business also. He is extremely hard-working, helpful and friendly and is happy to do the odd job that doesn’t fall into one of his usual categories. He comes to us fortnightly and we could not do without him. If anyone deserves an award it is — Reece Valentine!"
MANAWATU-WANGANUI: Jamie - JD Hair Design
"Jamie is amazing - not only does he offer incredible haircuts at an affordable price he is a genuinely caring man. With a heart of gold, everyone is whānau to him and he treats you like it. I always leave his salon looking fabulous but also feeling fabulous. He is the type of man that fills your inner well of good feelings while he makes you feel and look special."
WELLINGTON: Meredith and Craig - Avalon Service Centre
"Meredith and Craig Butland and their team do a wonderful job and go the extra mile to make sure every job is to the customer's satisfaction. They drop people at their workplaces and pick them up when work on the car is finished. They take the time to talk to customers about anything and are great neighbours to the local residents. Avalon Service Centre are definitely our local heroes in Avalon."
NELSON - MARLBOROUGH: Mary Jane and Colin - Lemon Tree Lane
"Lemon Tree Lane is a great big little gift shop. I am so grateful for Mary Jane and Colin's 'You are very welcome' and 'it's no trouble at all' attitude. Their prices are very reasonable, they always happily gift wrap with beautiful papers and ribbons as a part of their service. I truly can't speak highly enough of this community-minded couple and their classy, extensive range of items that never leave us disappointed."
CANTERBURY - WEST: Troy Cameron - ATC Accounting Services
"Troy Cameron is a local accountant. He is an awesome family man and it is not unusual to see Matilda, his Kune Kune pig, snuggled up with his dog and daughter in his lounge. It was the flying pig on his flyer that made me call him 2 years ago and as we had just gone into business which was scary in itself, let alone dealing with an accountant, we have never looked back. Troy goes the extra mile and his fees are more than reasonable"
OTAGO - SOUTHLAND: Richard Smith - CJ Sinclair
"The owner is Richard Smith whose family have been in the motor trade in the Ranfurly Naseby area for over 100 years. During the last years lock down our car broke down leaving us feeling quite uncomfortable as we live some distance from medical & other services. Richard came to our rescue. We need such companies and people in our rural areas. Richard demonstrates such excellent attributes required in our area."

Notes for her grandkids and friends, things that she wanted to tell them and phone numbers of people to be contacted. I called one night. Just to check in. One night, she called to have a cry with me. “I have mum’s book and I can’t put it down” she said.
I was unusually quiet and she asked what I was doing. She seemed annoyed at my silence so I gathered my pink robe around me and put down my pencil for a minute. I said “I’m drawing ideas for a book like your mum’s. This should be everyone’s story and everyone’s gift. It’s a template for death and a whole bunch of issues that people can’t or won’t talk about.” “It is useful” she sniffed and I could almost see her turning over the book in her hands before tucking it into the pocket of her black dressing gown. (I have not seen it but I am pretty sure it’s black). So together we created a journal called Last Writes. It has prompts and space for people to write their wishes, dreams, triumphs, regrets, practicalities, and, well, just silly stuff too.
