Ingredients

  • 310ml milk, warmed
  • 16g dried yeast
  • 60g Natvia, plus 1 tbsp for the glaze
  • 600g plain flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 60g butter
  • 100g dried cranberries
  • 150g sultanas
  • 2 eggs
  • 50g self-raising flour

Method

Step 1

Whisk the milk, Natvia and yeast in a bowl until combined and leave to cool. Sift plain flour, cinnamon, all spice and salt into a large bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingertips.

Step 2

Stir in the sultanas, cranberries, eggs and yeast mixture. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minute. Put the dough in large greased bowl and cover. Leave it in a warm place for 45 minutes.

Step 3

Punch down and knead the dough until smooth. Shape into 12 balls. Put into 30cm x 20cm greased baking tray and set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine self-raising flour and 60ml of water. Pipe crosses onto the buns. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C and bake for a further 15 minutes.

Step 5

Make glaze by placing 2 tbsps of water and Natvia into a small saucepan and heating over a low heat until the Natvia has dissolved. Brush glaze over the warm hot cross buns.
