Q: What do you get in the pack? 
A: Included in the pack is a sachet of yeast, the hot cross bun base mixture along with those epic spices and the mixture to make crosses (in a handy bag that you can pipe them from). 

And I would recommend you have a digital thermometer too, because if the water is too hot in step #1 you kill the yeast and it's flatville from there on in. 

Q: how many carbs? 
A: 18g for the whole batch. Then divide by the number of hot cross buns you make: 
~ 80g of dough in each bun, makes 13 hot cross buns (1.4g carbs per hot cross bun).
~ 60g of dough in each bun, makes 16 hot cross buns (1.1g carbs per hot cross bun). 
The number it makes depends on how large you shape the buns from the dough and if you've added in soaked golden berries fruit as these weights have. 

Q: any allergens? 
A: the bun mix does contain gluten and the cross mixture contains a little bit of ultra-fine almonds in the mix. However if you're after a free gluten-free hot cross bun recipe, then check out our website here. 

Q: what other ingredients do I need to add to the pre-mix? 
A: Water and 1 teaspoon of sugar to activate the yeast (don't worry, the sugar gets gobbled up in the leavening process) + 2 eggs and 15g melted butter. 
And because not everyone loves fruit with their hot cross buns - we've got optional extras available like 100g golden berries

• There is a sachet of Yeast included.

Q: Are these hot cross buns gluten free?
A: No, this year's hot cross bun recipe contains the protein component of pure gluten. However in good news, we have a gluten-free hot cross bun free recipe inspiration for those with gluten considerations. We invite you to take a look at the free recipe here. 

Q: How do I get the instructions to make the hot cross buns?
A: The method steps are listed on the back of the packet. These are a yeasted product and do require kneading and time to prove. Trust us, it's SO worth it. Good things take time and your house will smell just like Easter. enjoy.

Q: How do I shape the buns to get them smooth on top?
A: wet your hands and handle the dough while your hands are damp. Roll the dough on the bench using the palm of your hand, until it forms a ball. Gently tuck any loose ends & loose fruit pieces that might come out underneath to create a smooth top. 

Q: How do you prepare the golden berries? 
A: In a heat proof bowl, place 2 Tablespoons of your desired sweetener in with the dried golden berries fruit, cover with hot water, stir and leave to soak overnight in advance or while you continue on with the recipe instructions. Pass through a strainer to separate the liquid from the plumped up berries. Chopping up the fruit pieces into smaller pieces will ensure more even distribution throughout the hot cross buns. You can also use the water that the berries have been soaking in, (once it's cooled down to a warm temperature) in the recipe.
