Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 Cups Spelt Flour Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n Sift 2 cups of spelt flour, a pinch of pink Himalyan sea salt, 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg into a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n Add \u00bd cup of rolled oats and 100 grams of Whole Kids Organic Sultanas & Apricots to the bowl, then mix.<\/p>\n Warm \u00bd cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 75 grams of butter and the zest of 1 orange over the stovetop.<\/p>\n Remove the liquid mixture from the stovetop. Once slightly cooled, dissolve 1 tablespoon of yeast in the liquid, whisk 1 egg into the liquid mixture, and add to the large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n Once ingredients have been evenly spread throughout, turn onto a lightly floured board and knead until it is smooth and elastic (7-8 minutes).<\/p>\n Grease a bowl, roll ball of dough in, and cover with a damp tea towel.<\/p>\n Let it rise for 1 \u00bd hours in a warm spot.<\/p>\n Then separate into buns and place them onto a lightly greased baking tray with 1 cm in between each to allow room for expansion. Cover and leave to rise for another 45 minutes.<\/p>\n Once they have been left to rise, create the cross paste with a bit of flour and water and mix into a smooth paste.<\/p>\n Preheat your oven to 200 C.<\/p>\n Next is piping. This step is the best part for your child to get involved. Put the paste into a baking paper funnel or small piping bag and let him or her take the lead and make their best cross-shape on top of each bun just before baking.<\/p>\n Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.<\/p>\n Meanwhile make the glaze with a mixture of apricot jam and a tablespoon of hot water.<\/p>\n Once the buns are golden, remove them from the oven and brush them with the glaze while they are still hot.<\/p>\n Cool for 20 minutes to allow the glaze to set, and then enjoy all together as a family.<\/p>\n Have a Happy Easter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During this time of year, my favourite recipe to put a healthy spin on is Hot Cross Buns.
