Giant Dutch Oven Giant Hot Cross Bun
I had planned to bake a giant hot cross bun for Easter in my dutch oven over an open campfire whilst camping but in the current situation that is not sensible so I've tried to simulate it in the garden using a fire bowl from a hanging BBQ
Ingredients:
250g flour (212g for the mix and 38g for the cross paste)
25ml rape seed oil
3.5g yeast
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice 9nutmeg, ginger,fennel,cloves,caraway, corriander)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
25g brown sugar
75g raisins and sultanas
13g mixed citrus peel
65ml milk
65ml hot water
38g plain sugar for glaze solution
25ml rape seed oil
3.5g yeast
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice 9nutmeg, ginger,fennel,cloves,caraway, corriander)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
25g brown sugar
75g raisins and sultanas
13g mixed citrus peel
65ml milk
65ml hot water
38g plain sugar for glaze solution
Method:
Combine dry ingredients and fruit in a ziploc bag and shake to mix
Heat water and add to milk and rapeseed oil then pour into ziploc bag and knead for at least ten minutes
Set aside to prove for at least 45 minutes in a warm dutch oven
Mix flour and water into a paste then pipe over proved bun in cross pattern
Bake for at least 30 minutes and when done add warm water to remaining sugar to glaze leave dutch oven away from fire and place a couple of coals on the lid to set the glaze whilst you make a cup of tea!
Serves two normal people, great with a cup of tea
As ever I'd love to hear what you guys thought so please leave a comment, happy Easter!
