Ingredients:
- 450g strong bread flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 50g vegan butter, melted
- 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 orange, zest only
- 150ml oat milk, warmed
- 75g dark chocolate chips
- 75g dried sour cherries
- For the crosses: 75g plain flour, water
Instructions:
Put the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, melted vegan butter, yeast, sugar, and orange zest in a large bowl
As you mix, slowly add the warm oat milk until a dough forms
For about 10 minutes, knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and springy
To make the dough double in size, put it in a bowl that has been lightly greased and cover it with a clean tea towel
Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour
After the dough has risen, punch it down and mix in the dark chocolate chips and dried sour cherries until they are spread out evenly
Make 12 equal pieces of dough and roll each one into a ball
Leave a little space between each bun and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Leave the buns alone for another 30 to 45 minutes with a clean tea towel over them
They should get a little puffy
Warm the oven up to 200C 180C fan or 390F 350F fan
Add enough water to the plain flour to make a thick paste that you can use to make stars
Put the paste in a piping bag, and then use it to make crosses on top of each bun
The buns should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked
Take them out of the oven and set them on a wire rack to cool
Have fun with your dark chocolate and sour cherry vegan hot cross buns
