Hello Gemma. Is there a substitute for egg wash before baking the pastry ?
Thank you Gemma, the only time I made hot cross buns ,I was still at school where we were taught how to bake, rather a long time ago so thank you for this recipe I will now bake again xx
You took me down memory lane. I loved hot cross buns & looked forward to those treats as a kid on Good Friday, prepared by the Irish Nuns who were my educators. God Bless them! Thank you for sharing!!!
I am very excited to try these! You make them look so easy to do. I have never heard blood temperature. My brother and I throw cooking terms at each other and he's gonna love this one! I've never brushed honey on like that but I am absolutely going to now!
Trust me, this is so easy to make! Get the full recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video

I just made some, they came out so soft, so fluffy and so tasty. They are a hit.
Well done to you, Chery.
These were wonderful and so easy to make. Brushed with Golden Syrup was Heaven!! I was out of Allspice at the time so used the shortcut equivalent and the cinnamon was a little too strong. Have Allspice now and making another batch. Thanks to mom for the recipe !!! Happy Easter ✝
Glad you like them! Happy Easter!
Looks soo delicious . Will definitely bake it for Easter. Loved watching your video

brings me right to the rhyme! I love it!!!!
Yummy, makes my mouth water. Will make this tomoro 😉 here in South Africa we eat them on Good Friday with another traditional dish called pickled fish. Made with a nice firm fish, lightly fried and a sauce made with spices, curry, turmeric, vinegar/water, peppercorns and bayleaves. Left to stand a week to draw and then eaten. Delicious on fresh bread and with fresh Hot Cross Buns 😋😉❤
Go for it, Dunia. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video

Oh what a disappointment, my hot cross buns came out horrible that I actually had to throw them away.
So sad.
I think I should have added some more liquid! The spices we used were just too strong and overpowering.
Unbelievably is sooooooo gooooood thank you so much be bless nd your family Gemma
Well done, you! Thanks for sharing.
These look so good! My mouth is watering!
I hope you’ll give it a go, Maria. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/
Can’t wait to try this for Good Friday
Go for it, Lee. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
Anything done or said with that accent is amazing.
and the recipe came out perfectly.
I like that you knead by hand without a machine.
Before I gotten my first KitchenAid, I made breads by hand during the pandemic but for a year and a half, I’ve been lazy ever since I’ve gotten 2 KitchenAids but I think I’m willing to go back into hand kneading again and let my Mixers rest.
In some recipes, I like to get the feel of the dough as it can tell me when it’s ready to go to the next step.
Bellissimo 😋👏👏👏
Thanks.
Just delightful
Glad you think so!
I've made these before! They're really good!
Well done, you!
A must try! Thanks for sharing! Sending Love from California
Go for it, Sylvia!
A Blessed Happy Easter to you Gemma. I made these for Good Friday with modifications to accommodate the dietary needs of some family members. I used very little sugar, sultanas, flour/ water mixture to make cross prior to baking. I glazed them with pure monastic honey. They came out good, everyone had at least 2 buns, enjiying them. Some of us had them with with Kerrygold butter & monastic jams, others just the butter! I'll try the full recipe some day to share with friends. Thanks so much for sharing.
love your recipes and your accent
This is a great recipe. I'm getting started now
Go for it! Here’s where you can find the written recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
In Australia Hot Cross Buns are really popular. They sell them for like half the year these days. Soon after Christmas, they were out in the supermarkets…I’m going to try this recipe. The house will smell amazing, and they look delicious 😋 Thanks for sharing!
I hope you’ll give my recipe a go. Here it is, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
They are on the shelf from boxing day here in NZ 🤦🏼♀️
@@kenleemonster It’s not quite right is it? They’re needs to be a break, between Christmas and Easter treats. So you can enjoy each on their own.
@@anastasiak2804 I strongly agree with you. It feels like it takes the meaning away and I don't buy them out of principle till about a week before. This year I'll make these instead and they'll be special and have more meaning. The same thing happens with Halloween also, those commercialism cogs keep on turning.
@@kenleemonster I’m in agreement. I buy them much closer to Easter as well. This year I’m really keen to give baking them another go, at home. I’ve had issues with the rise previously. They’ve been a bit under done & chewy. BBB recipes always turn out for me though, so I have fingers crossed! 😀Good luck with your bake also, hope it’s a good one, and have Happy Easter!
It looks delicious
I hope you’ll give it a go, Jean. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
Yes it's time to make some of these for Easter although I make them often as well...enjoyed this video❗🤗😘🇨🇦
Delighted to hear that! Thanks for sharing.
YUM!
Thank you for this. Can't wait to make them for my Irish husband and half Irish kids, the other half is Dutch. 🌷
Hope you enjoy these! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
Thank you very much 🥰 for sharing your recipe Have a blessed Good Friday and happy Easter holidays 🙏🙏💝💝
Hope you enjoy this, Matlakala!
Very nice recipie Gemma! They looks amazing! Happy Easter for you and your family! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴
Thank you! You too!
@@biggerbolderbaking Thanks Gemma! 🤩🤩🤩
I enjoyed watching this 😊
Thanks a million, Nicole.
Yay! I was hoping to see a video on these buns because I wanted to make it better than my underwhelming experience with the store-bought ones! I don't have access to all the spice ingredients, so I'll have to settle on cinnamon, ginger and cloves. I hope it still turns out delicious!

Yummy wil try it😊😊😊
Go for it! For best results, follow the written recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/
Mmm yummy ❤❤
I put the traditional cross on my hot cross buns using a mix of flour and water, never icing sugar (powdered sugar) and glaze my buns with Golden syrup
I'll really love to try this recipe. Its looks very nice. Thanks for sharing it my dear.😍😍😍😍
Go ahead and give it a try, Diana. Here’s the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/
A similar tradition is celebrated in Trinidad & most of the Caribbean. Hot cross buns are a Good Friday must. Will surely try this method. Happy Easter
Thanks for sharing, Carlene.

Gemma, Gemma omg i just made these and oh my goodness so soft and yummy.. my british husband is so happy i swear he ate like 4 and i will not state how many i had.. if u have shepherd pie i will try next.. thank u Gemma
I’m delighted to hear that! Well done to you!
I can’t believe I haven’t made these yet! I wanted to make them in 2021 but I didn’t have bread flour and there was no video. So I can definitely make these now
Go for it, Daniyal! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
Beautiful recipe, Gemma. They look absolutely delicious and I must try. I live in San Diego, California. Thanks for sharing this with me 😌😊
Go for it! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/ Enjoy!
Am making these tomorrow! A day later than normal, but I'm also going to bake a loaf or 2 of braided challah bread.
Sounds like a good plan. Go for it, Emily!
We have allspice here but it’s a berry that smells a bit like several spices combined and it is VERY strongly flavored. I think the allspice in this recipe is what the English call mixed spice.
Yes, it is the latter 😊
Absolutely Allspice itself is a larger berry sometimes Calle Pimento
I use pumpkin spice over here in U S
I will make some tomorrow ,Sometimes the crosses are impressed into the dough with a knife or a flour and water pastry piped in a cross on top ,Having icing on top you can’t toast the buns as the icing will grunge up the toaster ,
It's pumpkin pie spice she's using. Allspice is a berry.
Lovely presentation! My hot cross buns this year turned out too firm and tough! Will try this and enjoy the sweet softness going forward.

This is Mona enjoy and that makes my irish-american heart just so happy to see that my mom always wanted to make those hot cross buns and she's in heaven and she never got to make it for daddy and his name was Alfred Lawrence Clark and his family goes back in Ireland as far as they have records but we were Americans of course but I remember that Resurrection Day when I call it now is Easter is such a big thing in our house and Mom celebrated it so well and to give and to give that recipe I'm going to try to make it because my mom couldn't I'm 67 here in clintonville by myself now I think I should try it but besides which I did try your Irish scones mom want to make those two and never got a chance she was some fine Baker's she made candies and Taffy's and all kinds of extraordinary things you just didn't get chance to do everything that I made the scones and I made blueberry scones I have some frozen blueberries and I made your scone recipe and it turned out really delightful I want to head and froze some and I found out if youif you have a decent oven that you can make it work but I'll still make it work you not have to fiddle with mine but it is so good I just couldn't eat all of them and it's only me here and I refuse to throw them away so I put them in the freezer and when I want us come I got a blueberry scone I can have a cup of tea with it and some Irish tea and be happy 😁 thanks again God bless you and yours shalom
The only thing I picture is the amazing smell this makes in the kitchen! Yummy! Love this Gemma! Learnt so much as always 👩🏻🍳
Yes, that is one of the things I love about making hot cross buns - it’s that wonderful aroma all over the kitchen when it’s baking.
Yummy 🐰
I love that Irish accent!
Beautiful 😍😍❤️❤️ super duper cute 🥰🥺 perfect tempting 🤤🤤😋😋
Glad you enjoyed this!
Watching this is a wonderful distraction from the world's problems! I have a similar recipe, but I'll try this version next week. Thank you, Gemma!
Hope you’ll like mine too, Gloria! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
In Australia, allspice is known as a spice all of its own. What you call allspice, we call mixed spice
There is an actual Allspice plant. While in Jamaica we walked through the very tall bushes and I put a handful of leaves in my waist pack. Back in the US I met a chef who said you have to use Allspice (ground berries) to season her dish. I asked if I could use leaves instead. Chef said “No such thing.” I pulled some out of my waist pack and the room was filled with the aroma of Allspice. So it is a spice of it’s own. It grows in places like Jamaica. It got the name because it smells and tastes like the mixed spices. 😀
I think Allspice is called pimento aswell
Agreed. Even here in Greece the allspice berry is a little larger than a peppercorn, and a reddish brown. We get it whole or ground. Mixed spice I make my own using ground spices of ginger, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, and I use in my fruit cakes or buns😊
Same in UK, didn't know it was different in Ireland
I've used Allspice for many years living in USA, in both sweet and savory dishes.
Starting a batch now!
Hope they turn out well, Suz! Thanks for giving this a go.
It seems l missed out on a perfect recipe for Easter .this one seems much easier and less complicated and looking so good.easter Friday was just a few days ago but l will bake these nonetheless in the next couple of days.thanks so much.btw. the shower cap is a brilliant idea 👍
Go ahead and give this a go, Maureen. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/
I am baking the Hotcross buns today and now. Awaiting to take it out of the oven. Love to you from Srilanka. Happy Holy Thursday
I hope they turn out well, Casilda! Thanks for giving it a go.
I may try these this year. I tried the Irush side bread. Oh yummy. Especially toasted. Just with butter was good but adding peanut butter, raisins, a thin layer of unsweetened apple sauce then sprinkled with cinnamon - perfect dessert for breakfast! Quick, easy and scrumptious. Right now I don't know if I could find a spot on my kitchen warm enough to raise bread. It's cold and drafty. Hot cross buns might be a summer bread. It's almost Easter and I just came in from shoveling snow!
You can turning on the oven for around 15 minutes, then turn it off and proof your bread when it’s warm and not hot anymore.
@@biggerbolderbaking not til the part for the electric starter for the pilot light comes in. I don't feel comfortable turning on the gas then lighting it even with a fireplace lighter.
Buns look good hope you have a nice day
Thanks a million. I hope you have a nice one too!
Ah how I miss rushing to the bakery after mass on food Friday to buy hot cross buns in India! Haven’t found them in Germany so far. Gotta try to make them myself
Go for it, Tina. Here’s where you can get the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
Love bread! Can you make a video on tiger bread for making delicious sandwiches please!
I’ll look into it. Thanks for watching!
I'm sure you know that Allspice is it's own ingredient, which is ground Allspice berries. It is not a blend of spices. I do understand the attempt to blend other spice components to get a similar product. Allspice is used commonly in the Caribbean, particularly in Jamaica.
In Australia it is sold as a mix of different spices that don't include allspice berries ☹️
@@melissaelphinstone1354 not according to what I've just read online.
@@chefmike9945 it's in my pantry 🤷♀️ maybe some brands do have the berries
@@melissaelphinstone1354 allspice is just ground Allspice berries.
@@melissaelphinstone1354 what do the ingredients say on the side of the packaging?
In Bermuda, we eat them with fish cakes inside. Delish! ❤
Interesting combination!
Thank you for sharing these ! I can’t eat raisins so I exchange stewed apples in the place .
SOunds interesting!
Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
They look yummy. I’ve never had them with an icing cross - the plain flour paste would be traditional
You can do that as well! Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/#recipe-video
Why haven't I tried making these before?😭 All I need is some allspice now. I hope they turn out great 😋
Go ahead and give this a go, Sheena.
This recipe looks great for Easter, love me some hot cross buns. In the U.S. "allspice" is easy to find, however, it's description is dried unripe berries of Pimenta dioica native to Southern Mexico & Central America. I'm going to use your spice mix just to make sure we are on the same page. Thanks Gemma.
Go for it! Get the recipe for hot cross buns here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hot-cross-buns/ Here’s how I make mixed spice, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-mixed-spice/ Hope this helps.
Traditionally the cross is made with flour and water and piped before baking. But I like your version better, sweetness on a bun!😊
LOL as soon as Christmas is finished over here in Australia the hot cross buns comes out for sale in the stores well before Easter.
Easter egg hunt… Germany is nuts about it.
Delicious!
Great Tutorial!
Thank you for showing!
Greetings from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🌹 🌹🌹
Edith, a happy Subcriber
Glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for being here.
Could you do iced buns? I always hear about them in British stuff, sometimes Irish too. They look so light, lighter than brioche. I want to see if they're as good as the wistful descriptions.
I’ll look into it. Thanks for being here.
Allspice is NOT hard to find in America. Maybe in Central or South America but it is in every grocery store I go to in North America that sells spices.
I have seen bakers make a slurry of flour and milk and add in that cross pattern before baking. I prefer the sugar icing instead.
Yes, that part confused me, I've not had them with icing.
Dear Gemma and bakers. If you can't find Allspice, the Mountain rose herbs company have it and other spices as well.
Thank you for all the recipes😊
Thanks for the tip!
