    Since making Hot Cross Buns in my Thermomix, I've been having a little fun experimenting with different flavours. So far these White Chocolate and Cranberry Hot Cross Buns are up there with being the most delicious Hot Cross Buns I have ever tasted - a big call I know!

    Two Hot Cross Buns made with chocolate and cranberries, served on a plate.

     

    My favourite thing about this recipe is the way the white chocolate pieces begin to melt into the bun which creates a deliciously sweet and soft treat.  Have I convinced you yet? What are you waiting for - make these today!

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
    • ½ cup of caster sugar (115g)
    • 1½ cups of lukewarm milk (375g)
    • 4¼ cups of plain flour (640g)
    • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
    • 50 g of melted butter
    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup of craisins (150g)
    • 200 g of white chocolate
    • 2 tablespoons of apricot jam
    • 2 tablespoons of water.

    Instructions

    • Break 100g of white chocolate into squares and place into your thermomix bowl. Blend for 5 seconds on speed 5 or until it's roughly chopped (time may vary due to the temperature of your chocolate). Pour into a separate bowl and set aside.
    • Place the yeast, 2 teaspoons of the sugar and all of the milk into your thermomix bowl and cook for 2 minutes on 37 degrees, speed 1. Leave yeast mixture in bowl whilst you move onto the next steps.
    • Lightly oil a large bowl and set aside until needed.
    • Line a 23cm cake tin with baking paper and also set aside until needed.
    • Add the flour, cinnamon, egg, butter and remaining sugar into the thermomix bowl. Mix for 15 seconds on speed 7 or until all ingredients have combined.
    • Add the craisins and whopped white chocolate to the bowl and combine for 3 minutes using the kneading function.
    • Place the dough into the prepared oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and sit in a warm place for around an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
    • Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 12 equal pieces before rolling into balls.
    • Place the dough balls into the prepared cake tin, cover with a tea towel and place the tin in a warm spot for another 30 minutes to allow the dough to again rise.
    • While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
    • Once the dough has risen, place the tray into the oven to bake for 20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and spring back when touched.
    • To prepare your glaze, place the apricot jam and water into a small bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds before mixing to combine.
    • Brush the glaze over the still hot Hot Cross Buns before carefully transferring the buns to a wire rack to cool.
    • Once the buns have completely cooled, melt the remaining 100g of white chocolate and place it in a piping bag before piping the crosses onto the top of each bun.
    • Allow the chocolate to set and enjoy.

      We’ve done these every year and they always turn out well. I also make extra and freeze without the white chocolate crosses for school lunches
