Easter Hot Cross Buns

I thought it was time to try some sweet dough. The principles are the same though, but the dough is enriched with milk, eggs and sugar. The dough is a bit wetter than a standard white dough, so you need to persevere when you are kneading it as at first it seems like it'll never firm up.

What I liked about this recipe is the addition of orange zest, an apple and a good dose of cinnamon, probably my favourite spice in the cupboard. At the time of writing, I hadn't tried one yet as we are waiting for breakfast but if they taste as good as they look, I think we are onto a winner.
