Vegan Hot Cross Buns

Ingredients

Buns

  • 150 ml OGGS Aquafaba
  • 200 ml Milk Alternative
  • 50 g Vegan Butter melted
  • 450 g Strong Bread Flour
  • 7 g Dried Active Yeast
  • 45 g Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 tsp Mixed Spices ground
  • 200 g Raisins

Cross Coating

  • 50 g Flour
  • 6 tbsp Warm Water

Glaze

  • 50 ml OGGS Aquafaba
  • 3 tbsp Apricot Jam

Instructions

  • Shake and whisk your Aquafaba until foamy and pale, then add in your melted butter and milk. Wisk until combined.
  • Take your yeast and activate it with a but of warm water, until it foams, about 3 minutes.
  • Take a separate bowl and add in all of your dry bun ingredients and mix together. Create a well in the middle and add in your liquids, slowly, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined. This should create a wet and sticky dough.
  • Once your dough is together, dump it out onto a slightly floured surface and kneed for 10 minutes.
  • Place your dough back into a clean bowl and allow it to rest, in a warm spot, for about an hour.
  • Your dough should have doubled in size. Dump it back out onto your table and kneed in your raisins until they are all throughout the dough, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide your dough into 8 buns and place them in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Allow them to rest for another 20 minutes.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees C and create your cross for your bun, by combining the flour and water. You can spoon or pipe these over the rested buns - it's up to you!
  • Bake your buns for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While they are baking, combine the last of your Aquafaba and your apricot jam. Mix well to make a sticky glaze.
  • Spoon the glaze over your buns while they are nice and warm. Enjoy!
