Double chocolate hot cross buns
Recipe Gallery Share the Love Recipe 0 Prep Time 0 Cook Time Serves 6 4 – 6 People Difficulty 0 Beginner Ingredients 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 4 1/2 cups flour bread flour or all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cacao powder 1/2 cup soft brown sugar, divided 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/2 cup vegan butter or margarine, room temperature Flour piped cross: 1/2 cup all-purpose or bread flour 1/2 cup water Hot cross bun bread wash: 1 1/2 tbsp melted vegan butter 1 tbsp golden syrup 11/2 tsp ground cinnamon extra chocolate chips Method Measure and weigh out all ingredients before beginning. Heat the coconut milk to lukewarm, then, stir in the 2 tbsp of the brown sugar with 1 tsp of flour. Add the yeast stir with a wooden spoon and cover. Place the bowl in a warm area to activate for 10-12 minutes. Add the remaining flour, plus the remaining brown sugar, cacao powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chocolate chips to a large bowl. Gently mix the ingredients for a minute, and use your hand to knead the dough until it comes together, the dough will look shaggy. (here you can make use of a stand mixer with a dough hook) Then, add in the room temperature vegan butter, and mix until the butter is incorporated into the dough, knead until you have a smooth dough. Place the dough ball into a large greased bowl, and cover with a clean dish towel. Place the bowl in a warm area. Proof the bread until it’s doubled in size, about an hour. While the dough is rising, you can grease a medium baking dish with cooking oil, or leftover vegan butter. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down lightly and gently pull the dough from the bowl onto a floured surface. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, to divide the dough into 12-16 even pieces. To form round rolls, gently roll a dough ball in between your palms. Then pinch the bottom of the dinner roll together to create a more round top, and place the buns in the baking dish when done. Cover the dinner rolls with a thin clean dish towel place in a warm area and let them double in size again. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. For the cross topping: Mix the flour and water in a small bowl. If you find the mixture is too runny to be piped, stir in another tablespoon or two of flour. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag or ziplock bag, and snip the end of the piping bag. Pipe one long line over a row of rolls, and repeat until every bun has a cross on it. Once the oven is preheated, place the vegan hot cross buns into the oven to bake for 23-28 minutes until golden. Glaze: Mix the tablespoon of melted vegan butter, golden syrup, and cinnamon, for the bread wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls. Add a few more chocolate chips on top. Allow them to cool slightly, and serve warm with vegan butter. Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container or freeze.
