I'm making Chelsea buns next

I was going to do some tonight, but couldn't be bothered going in the cold to the shops for some eggs... and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me sneaking into their garden and squeezing their hen for another one

We have a panasonic bread maker, mum makes bread every single day with it for my dad. I hate it because it has now burnt me twice.

lostkat · 18-03-2008, 22:34

No.... you burnt yourself twice by being a silly moo and not wearing oven gloves or equivalent

It's not the bread makers fault

Blackstar · 18-03-2008, 22:36

I was wearing oven glubs, BOTH TIMES, i never go near that thing without them. Therefore it is the bread maker being evil.

Yes... yes it is *pats*

What's your recipe for the hot cross buns Kate, I need to make some...

lostkat · 18-03-2008, 23:25

Breadmaker on 'basic' 'dough' raisin' setting

1/2tsp yeast
250g strong white flour (9oz)
1tsp sugar
25g butter (1oz)
1tbsp milk powder
1/2tsp salt
1 medium egg
100ml warm water
1tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp mixed spice
100g mixed dried fruit (4oz) - added when raisin beeper goes off

Divide mixture into 8 balls. Place on a lightly greased baking tray and allow to prove at 40 degrees for approx 20 mins. Make a paste with approx 2tbsp flour mixed with 2tbsp water and pipe (or drizzle... makes scruffier crosses like I did) a cross over the buns.

Bake at Gas Mark 7 (220 degrees) for 15-20 mins until golden and hollow when the base is knocked.

Whilst still hot, brush with a sugar glaze - 40g (1/2 oz) sugar in 4tbsp water, boiled until a syrup is reached (approx 4-5 mins)

Ta

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow?

Wow! That bread is Hooooge!

your buns look delicious Kate

Where did you get the yeast from? I have a pasta maker and I think you need 'special' flour or yeast for that? But Asda is (obviously) pants.
