Title: Spiced Fruited Hot Cross Buns
Categories: Breads,
Yield: 36 rolls
1/2 oz Active dry yeast (2 env)
2 c Milk; warm (105 F/40 C)
6 tb Butter, softened
2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
3/4 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
6 1/2 c A-P flour
1 c Mixed, candied fruit; chopped
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 Egg yolk
2 tb Water
MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
1 1/4 c Confectioners' sugar
2 tb Milk
1 tb Butter; melted
1/4 ts Vanilla extract
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Stir in
the butter, eggs, sugar and salt. Combine 3 cups flour,
candied fruit and cinnamon; add to yeast mixture and mix
well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft
dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and
elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl,
turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; shape into 2" balls. Place 2" apart on
greased baking sheets. Using a sharp knife, cut a cross
on top of each bun. Cover and let rise until doubled,
about 30 minutes.
Beat egg yolk and water; brush over buns. Bake @
350 F/175 C for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Combine icing
ingredients; pipe an "X" on top of each bun.
