Step 1

Warm the milk to 37° C or lukewarm, pour into the flour mixture and mix to a soft dough.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead dough until elastic and no longer sticky. Cover with lightly oiled clingfilm and leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size. Knead in the chocolate and apricots and shape into 8-9 rolls and place them on a greased baking sheet. Cover with lightly oiled clingfilm and leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes

To make the crosses, blend the 25g of the Stork tub with the remaining plain flour and 4 tablespoons of water. Gently remove the clingfilm from the buns and pipe the mixture into a cross on top of each.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C, 190°C fan, Gas 7 for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6
To make the glaze, gently warm the remaining sugar and a few splashes of the orange juice until dissolved. Brush over the hot buns, return to the oven and cook for a further 2 minutes.
