Ingredients

  • 2 cups wholemeal flour
  • 2 cups high grade flour
  • 2 tbs caster sugar
  • 1 tbs instant dry yeast
  • 50g margarine
  • 1 ¼ cups + 1 tbs reduced fat milk, warmed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup

Cross

  • 4 Tbsp Marmite

Method

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk flours, sugar and yeast together.
  2. Add margarine, milk, egg and Marmite. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on a low speed until combined.
  3. Increase to high speed and knead until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Transfer to a greased bowl. Cover and place in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Once doubled in size, punch the air out of the dough and divide into 15 portions. Roll each portion into balls and place evenly spaced apart on a greased baking tray. Cover and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  7. To make the crosses, place the Marmite in a piping bag. Pipe Marmite across the hot cross buns to make crosses.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
