Hot Cross Buns

I think this is the spring where I face my fear of making bread. I don’t know what it is that makes me shy away. Maybe it’s the yeast. Or the waiting game for it to rise. But Hot Cross Buns are near the top of my foodgasm list and this recipe looks more or less conquerable. No fear.

    Do it! once you start making bread it is addictive and you just keep going in search of creating the perfect loaf. I found the hints and tips from this book http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9781580081863/The-River-Cottage-Bread-Handbook took me from zero to hero of the baking in no time.
    Reminds me if I was freshly baked multi grain rolls with tonight’s dinner I had better start mixing my dough.

    Don’t be discouraged from bread, sometimes it seems to rise and other times it seems to have a predetermined destiny to be flat bread.
